It may be easier to use Undo as many times as needed to restore the missing section, but the method you're asking about is available from the Refine tool if the selection area is still active:



If you've already saved the changes and can't select Undo, I think starting over on a new virtual copy would be the best way forward and use the Refine tool as needed to get everything just right before saving/closing PhD.

Yes I know about that tool but here when I used the other tool to put the frame around the person, there is some areas of the outfit that used that will turn transparent when and I did not want that small part to do that

The refine tool shows foreground and background brushes but not restore

Am I missing something ?

I can't see what's on your screen so it would really help to have at least a screenshot. Even better would be a screen recording showing exactly what edting steps you've taken. Again it may be easier to just start over.

To make a screenshot use Alt+Print Screen or the Windows snipping tool (Win+Shift+S) then save the image as PNG or JPG. Click on the Attachments button below the forum's text box to upload and share it here. If you make a screen recording, upload it to YouTube or attach it if it's smaller than 100MB.

here is a pic of that part of the outfit that got selected when I did not want it to

Got it. Depending on which object is the foreground - which I suspect is the people and clothes - use the foreground brush to extend the desired area and/or use the background brush to reduce the desired area. You're basically telling PhD to either include more content in the foreground or to include it in the background layer instead so there's no need for a "restore."

ok thanks. I will try this

Hello detroit123,

You've received good advice from optodata, and this may be too late (i.e. you may already be done with that task) but...

When using the background removal tool, I've always found that zooming in on parts of the photo to correct PhD's "edge assessment" is the best approach.
