I often find myself in a situation where I’d like to check how an image would look like without the text embedded in it. I’m not interested in a neat result, just something rough but super quick and easy.
Is there a plugin or something to achieve just that?
Answer
Usually, text is a smooth, solid color, which makes it easy to select with the good old-fashioned Magic Wand tool. Alternatively, marquee select (keep the boundary as close to the text as you can) will get you something.
Use Select > Modify > Expand and add a few pixels to the selection. How much depends on your image, but it doesn’t need to be more than 5 pixels, even for a high-resolution image.
Once you have your “slightly larger than the text” selection, Shift-F5 or Edit > Fill... and choose Content-Aware Fill. This will fill the area with bits of surrounding content, for an excellent “rough view” of what it might look like without the text.
