5. Long-press on any object or person, which gives you the option to either increase the size, move, or erase it from the picture. You can use your S pen or your finger.

6. Once you've edited your picture, tap Generate, and the feature will fix anything that makes the picture look messy. 

7. Tap Done

To move an object, select and drag it, or try to pull it by the corners of the framing lines to resize it. Select the circles on the corners to tilt or change and give the object a new angle.

Furthermore, you can also realign the entire image by shifting the tilt lever in any direction. The AI will fill in what's missing from the picture's background and may even add things to your image.

After a new image is generated, you'll also see a View Original button so you can compare the original and edited images.

You can also use Generative Edit to remove an object from a scene, which will use AI to fill in the space or replace it with another object. Your results may vary.
