Missing Distraction Removal section in Camera Raw

I've been looking to test out the new dust removal feature in Camera Raw and couldn't find it. Turns out, the entire "Distraction Removal" section is missing from my Camera Raw app. I've gone into settings and enabled "New AI features" as directed in many instructional guides. Restarted Photoshop, and it's still not present. I even tried downloading the latest Photoshop beta (26.11), and I don't have this section at all. What am I doing wrong? I've screenshot the relevant sections for visual aid.

 

Versions:

Photoshop 26.9

Windows 11 24H2

Snapdragon X Elite PC

Unfortunately, Distraction Removal tools are not available on WinArM/Snapdragon machines. I've asked the documentation team to review the information and update the documents online.

I was trying to make use of the new dust removing tool on some high resolution negative scans and just found out it's not supported yet. I hope Adobe introduces this feature as early as possible.

Scans are explained in the first post of this thread. https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/distraction-removal-dust-camera-raw-and-lightroom-classic/m-p/15409946#M19611

Thanks Rikk! That clears it up. Do you know if these are planned for Snapdragon in the future?

I am sorry. I don't have any information on that.
