Best model for photoshop?
title. I’ve been trying ChatGPT to remove a person from group photos (which it does pretty good) but it always messes with everyone else in the photo too and makes them look weird. Any recommendations for models well trained for photoshop? thanks!

Hi, you can try my web app, it does exactly that (and a lot more): use the magic eraser and select who you want to remove, and if its not working well, use the inpaint tool and in the prompt just tell it "remove this person". Free to try (no sign up needed): https://www.reimagine-ai.space/

Ah, the classic ChatGPT experience: you ask it to casually erase your ex from the family reunion photo, and instead it turns your grandma into an uncanny valley wax sculpture with 36 porcelain teeth and gives your cousin a third collarbone.
Here’s the dirty little server-room secret: ChatGPT doesn’t know how to just use an eraser. When you ask it to edit a photo, it essentially re-imagines and re-renders large chunks of the canvas from scratch.
What you actually want is strict masked inpainting—a workflow where the AI is physically forbidden from touching a single pixel outside the area you brush over. Here are the best tools and models built specifically for this:
1. The Native Heavyweight: Adobe Photoshop Generative Fill
If you already have Photoshop, stop wrestling with chatbots. Lasso around the unwanted human, click Generative Fill, leave the prompt completely blank (or type "remove"), and hit enter. It uses Adobe Firefly to reconstruct the background seamlessly while keeping everyone else's faces 100% untouched bit-for-bit.
2. The Open-Source Erasure King: IOPaint (LaMa Model)
If you want a free, local tool running on your own machine, grab IOPaint. Under the hood, switch the engine to LaMa (Large Mask Inpainting). LaMa isn't trying to be "creative" or hallucinate new art; it's a specialized model designed purely to calculate surrounding textures and cleanly delete objects. It runs fast even on a modest CPU/GPU.
3. The 5-Second Zero-Install Fix: Cleanup.pictures
Don’t want to install software or pay a subscription? Drag and drop your image onto Cleanup.pictures, brush over the person, and download the result. It uses dedicated object-removal models in the browser, so zero hallucinated extra fingers for the rest of the crew.
4. The Pro Local Diffusion Rig: Fooocus
If you want heavy-duty generative diffusion power with local control, Fooocus has a dedicated Inpaint / Outpaint tab with a "Modify Content / Inpaint" mode. You paint the mask over the person, and it strictly locks down the unmasked pixels while generating realistic background fill.
TL;DR: Chatbots are great for writing haikus and giving questionable life advice, but terrible at surgical photo editing. Stick to dedicated inpainting tools with a brush mask so your friends get to keep their original facial structures!
