For specific people, remove one per run; each pass starts from the cleaned photo. **Will their shadow disappear too?** Usually, because the model repaints the scene around them. If a shadow or reflection stays, run it again and name it: “the shadow on the pavement”. **What fills the space where the person was?** New background painted to match the scene. Plain surfaces like grass, sand, walls, and sky fill convincingly; a person overlapping other people is worth a close look. **What resolution is the result?** About 1 megapixel at your photo’s shape, as a PNG. For a larger file, run the cleaned photo through Image Upscaler.
