![]() ![]() There's a whole mess of telephone wires and lampposts in this shot, and yet Magic Eraser was able to take out almost all of them. Magic Eraser promises to get rid of them, and in this Pixel 6 Pro photo, it does a pretty good job. Telephone wires are the bane of the mobile photographer's existence, showing up in the background of many a shot and breaking up what would otherwise be a compelling sky. ![]() Magic Eraser test: Telephone wires, outdoors ![]() I'm more impressed Magic Eraser's ability not to leave any traces of the pole around my hair, managing to separate the photo's subject from its background. It took a couple tries to get all of the post, and the stop sign itself proved a little bit tricky, but all that remains is a darker patch of sky that's not all that noticeable. To get rid of objects, you can either draw or a circle or a straight line - my preferred method in the case of the sign pole - and Magic Eraser does the rest. But what about objects? This Pixel 6 selfie is marred somewhat by the fact that I don't have a pole sticking out of the back of my head, so I used Magic Erase to get rid of the pole, leaving just the blue sky as background. So far, we've focused on removing people, which Magic Eraser handles pretty well.

One other note - this photo is really old, so old in fact that it was shot with an iPhone 5c. It's probably not enough to ruin the shot, but it does make things look a little more eerie than I intended. The parent disappears with ease, but the dance studio's floor is so reflective, a ghostly reflection of her is still quite visible. Here's an example of the limits of Magic Eraser after I used it to zap an out-of-focus parent who shows up in the background at my daughter's first dance recital. ![]()
