I'm new to Photoshop. I want to move a selection but when I move it just leave a black background behind. Then I have to brush that black background after that. Is there anyway to move a selection and leave a proper background behind? Here is the photo. I just want to move the "logi" word a bit to the right (for centralizing) but it just leave a ugly black background behind (instead of grey like the photo's background) blackbackground

  • The key is to detach "logi" into its own layer and then patch up the void by basically painting over it with clone stamp tool, just like I assume you did with the text "tech", that I can by the way still see a little bit of. Content aware fill as the first step might speed it up a bit. But to kinda answer the question in the title... you can't. Whenever you're moving stuff in a photo like this, it's basically the same as cutting a part of a printed photo with scissors and then wondering why there's now a hole in the photo. The only thing you can do is fill it afterwards or leave it as is.

The "grey" is not the "photos background". The grey is the photo. You can't cut and move a portion of a photo and expect things to magically repair where you've cut something. You need to do that manually.

  • Select and copy the portion of the logo you wish to remain so it is on its own, new, layer.
  • Just as you've covered up the right side of the logo, cover up the entire logo.
  • You can then position your logo on its own layer wherever you want.

Use the lasso tool (or the Object Selection tool) and draw around the type

Now choose the Content Aware Move tool and move the type where you want it placed

All elements of the logo need to be on the same layer to do this...

    Thank you so much. This is the easiest way. I tried to work with the layer thing but it's quite hard. But with this Content Aware Move tool it's much easier.

  1. Select, and copy and paste the logo to a new layer

  2. Select the original layer in the layers panel

  3. Select a rectangle around the original logo and do Edit > Fill, and choose the content aware option. This will erase the logo from that layer and fill the gap based on the surrounding content.

  4. Move your logo into position
