This is in respose to this problem persisting for me. To reproduce:

 

1) Open an image in ACR.

2) Press the B key to bring up Remove panel (or select from tool bar)

3) Brush over area to be removed

4) Press E key to bring up edit panel (or select from tool bar)

5) Press B key to return to Remove panel (or select from tool bar)

6) Note that pins are not visible.

7) Hover mouse literally over text on panel that says "Show overlay on Hover."

😎 Pins appear

9) Move mouse over other text on Remove panel, and pins disappear.

10) Hover mouse over image, pins now appear.

11) Return to step 4 and the process repeats.

Note the ONLY way I can seem to get the pins to show up is if I perform step #7. This is new behavior, and never was an issue with versions beyond the last two updates of ACR.

Video of behavior is attached.

Apple M2

OS 15.6.1
ACR 17.5

I did a quick test, and YES, this is finally addressed. Thank you!

      Thank you. For what it's worth, if I uncheck "Show overlay on hover" I can NEVER make the pins appear. It seems that "overlay" is being confused with "pins." At least from a functionality standpoint.

      It may be as simple as the developers have the behavor with the checkbox linked to the PINS, and not the Overlay. Regardless, it's messed up.

      Step 3 is incomplete or missing information.

       

      What Remove Mode?

      The steps are clearly shown in the video.

       

      3) Use the brush to "remove" an area of the image.



      Press the B key. It's called "Remove."

      Remove with Use Gen AI unchecked - thank you.
      My default state of the remove tool was different than this. 

      Thank you for the clarification. I see the overlay appearing in this case (Step 6) but not the Pin. 

      I will log this with the team.
