How to Remove Flyaways From Photos
Have you ever zoomed in on a portrait of yourself, only to be let down by those pesky stray hairs? Known as “flyaways,” these jaunty hairs can often draw in the viewer’s eye and detract from an otherwise perfect shot. On top of that, they can also make you (or your subject) look as though your hair is messy and unkempt – and no one wants that.
If you've ever tried to edit out those pesky hairs by hand, you know how time-consuming and frustrating it can be. Not to mention, the end result often looks unnatural and heavily edited. Thankfully, BeFunky's Object Eraser and Clone tools are here to save the day, making the process quick and easy, and leaving you with a natural-looking result.
Keep reading, because we’ll show you how you can easily remove flyaway hair using these revolutionary tools in our Photo Editor!
How to Remove Flyaways In Seconds
Ready to remove stray hair from a photo online? Just head to the Photo Editor and open the image you wish to edit. Alternatively, you can drag and drop the photo from your files into the editor.
Step 1: Select the Object Eraser
Within the Edit menu, located on the left side of the screen, you’ll find the Object Eraser. This tool is perfect for removing flyaways from photos with detailed backgrounds, like the one featured below. Scroll down to the Remove/Replace section, then click on Object Eraser.
Step 2: Adjust and Apply the Object Eraser
Adjust the Brush Size using the corresponding slider, then simply use your cursor to brush over the flyaways you wish to remove. These areas will be marked in red. To remove them, click Erase Object. This tool then uses advanced A.I. technology to blend the area around the flyaways to erase them seamlessly.
Pro Tip: When editing flyaways, it's important to zoom in on the area you're working on. This allows for more precise editing and ensures that you don't accidentally remove any necessary hair, which could create an unnatural look.
If you accidentally brush over a part of your image that you don’t wish to remove, you can undo this by clicking the Erase icon in the upper left corner. Then, simply paint over the areas you wish to restore.
Once you’ve removed those pesky flyaways and are happy with your changes, click Apply.
Step 3: Save Your Flyaway Free Photo
With those annoying flyaways discreetly removed from your image, all that’s left to do is to save it. Click Save at the top of the screen, then choose your desired save location.
Final Results: A Flyaway Free Portrait in Seconds
