How can I erase objects with Lightroom (rather than Photoshop)?

Question

I have a picture shot on a white background, however the white background didn't cover the whole frame. The sides of the image show unwanted objects. I would like to erase these side parts such that it also is white as the general background.I know I can do this in Photoshop by selecting and deleting the side parts, leaving the white background layer.However, I need to use Lightroom for this. Any way I can just erase out objects with a brush leaving a white background?

Answer 1

Photoshop would be better for this, but you might be able to pull it off with the spot removal tool, second icon from the left in basic dev panel.

Click on spot removal tool, then click clone (if it's not already selected), the adjust size. Then you can click on unwanted objects, and drag to draw/brush in that area. Then you can move the area that is being sampled, to make sure it's over the white. if you don't see the outlines, press the "h" key. You can also adjust feather slider to finesse, and you might try the "heal" setting too if "clone" isn't working.
