It's a problem dictators will be familiar with. You have a lovely photo taken of you and your inner circle, then you decide to have one purged and removed from history.
Well, if Stalin were alive today and a smartphone fan, his mobile picture editing prayers would be answered.
A new app allows users to automatically erase unwanted objects from photos, meaning you no longer have to use complex photo-editing software to get the picture you want.
Stage one: You snap a picture of your friend on a busy street
Stage two: The Remove app automatically detects objects in the background, allowing the user to toggle them in or out
More prosaically, it allows users taking pictures in a busy public place to get exactly the composition they want without spending ages timing their pictures exactly.
Remove, a new smartphone camera app, gives users the opportunity to easily eliminate unwanted objects from the shot.
