Camera Raw Filter v18.7: Remove -> People unable to deselect AI detected people

Opened image (TIFF or DNG) via LightRoom Classic
Duplicated layer
Opened new layer in ACR

Selected Remove tool

Selected remove People

Two people selected, one of which I did not want to remove

Cursor changed to Zoom tool

Unable to exit that Zoom mode to select the person I did not want to remove

Pressing H to change to Hand tool did not help
Seems there is no way to deselect the selected people

Tried restarting PS; rebooting computer..  no joy in Mudville

What _did_ work was from the main PS window, was to select the distracting person via the lasso tool and use Gen AI to remove with the prompt "remove person".

    Hi ​@ericw92588751 

     

    Apologies for this experience, and thank you for sharing the detailed steps and system information. To help us investigate this further, could you please provide a few additional details?

    • Does this happen consistently with different images, or only with this particular TIFF/DNG?

    • If possible, could you share a short screen recording showing the workflow and issue?

     

    These details will help us better understand and reproduce the behavior.

     

    In the meantime, I would suggest manually resetting Photoshop preferences after backing up your current preferences.

    Please follow the steps under Manually reset preferences in this article:

    https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/desktop/get-started/settings-and-preferences/reset-preferences.html#:~:text=Manually%20reset%20preferences

     

    After resetting the preferences, please check whether the issue persists.

    Thanks, Srishti Bali | Community & Engagement Strategist, Digital Imaging | Adobe
