How to Use The Samsung Object Eraser Tool On Android: Step by Step Guide
Here's a step by step tutorial below to use the Object Eraser Tool on Samsung Galaxy smartphones. Please read all the steps carefully and do not skip any.
- Open the Samsung Gallery App on your Galaxy device and tap the image that you wish to edit using the object eraser tool.
- Tap the 'Edit' button that looks like a pencil. Tapping the 'Edit' button will open the Samsung image editor.
- Once the image editor opens, tap the 'Tools' button that looks like four circles arranged in a square shape, see the image below.
- Now tap the 'Object eraser' option and wait for a few moments to see more options further.
- You will now see an editor just like the one shown in the image below. You will see some options such as: 'Erase shadows', 'Erase reflections', 'Undo changes', 'Redo changes' and 'Magnetic lasso' (in the top right corner). Make sure 'Magnetic lasso' appears in a yellow text which means it is enabled. If it gets shown in a white text then it means that it is disabled, tap to enable it.
Note: You're now all set to start erasing any object from your images or photos. So, in the image below you can see an aeroplane in the sky, I'll try to erase it from the image below.
- In the image below, which shows an aeroplane, I'll first select my object (the aeroplane itself) by drawing a circle around it and let magnetic lasso do the rest of the work to select the object precisely.

Note: If you ever make a wrong selection, tap the 'Undo changes' button that you can find just below the 'Erase shadows' button in the object eraser tool editor.
- Now once magnetic lasso selects the object properly, tap the 'Erase' button and let the Samsung Gallery app take care of the rest.
- Once the object gets erased, tap 'Done' to return to the main photo editor in the Gallery app. Here, do not tap 'Save' yet else you will lose your original photo. Instead tap the menu option in the top right corner (three vertical dots) and select 'Save copy.' This way you will have both the original and the edited version of the same photo that you can compare further to check the precision of the object eraser tool.
