Removing unwanted objects or people from a travel photo is a pretty advanced technique, but it's worth learning if you want to make your photos look polished professional. There are a few ways to do this:

Use The Spot Healing Brush Tool

The spot healing brush tool can be used to remove wires, debris, and other small objects. Here's how to use it:

Create a new layer on the layers panel. Name it the cleanup layer.
Choose the Spot Healing Brush Tool from the toolbox.
In the Options bar, pick Sample All Layers.
Paint over the unwanted object to remove it.

Use The Healing Brush Tool

Another tool you can use to remove unwanted items is the healing stamp tool. This tool enables you to select pixels that you want to remove. It also gives you more control compared to the Spot Healing Brush tool.

On the toolbox, click on the Spot Healing Brush Tool. A pop-up menu should appear. Select Healing Brush Tool.
Select the cleanup layer from the layers panel.
On the options bar, choose Sample > Current & Below.
Position your cursor on an area you want to use as the source of pixels that will hide the unwanted object. For example, position the cursor on the background of a bystander.
Paint over the unwanted object.
