P: Remove people using a merge-style operation

Thanks for the input and the link. I was vaguely aware that it was possible to paint out distractions manually using layers and masking but had forgotten about the smart object stack mode method. The example uses 9 separate photos which is more than I'd normally take from one spot. I'm sure it would work to some extent with fewer shots but it would be handy if the AI could cut it down to two or three as 10 photos on my camera costs me half a gig! Like I say, I'm only a hobbyist and often there isn't enough time to stand and wait around for other people to move.

Adobe could identify this as /Photo Merge/Common/

There are existing techniques to do this that don’t even require AI, and so they’ve been around for years. You wrote “LR/PS” so if you are willing to do this in Photoshop, do you already know about the stack modes that help with “tourist remover” techniques using multiple exposures? The 7-year-old video below is a demo of how to do that in Photoshop. If you also want to do this in Lightroom Classic, then that is something Adobe will need to add, so that part of this feature request is still a good idea.
