Announcing a new feature now in Adobe Camera Raw (17.2) – Removal of Distracting People

Under the Remove dialog, under Distraction Removal, we have added an item called “People”.

 

This feature supports faster and easier detection and removal of distracting people in an image. It is offered as a Tech Preview in the Adobe Camera Raw Plugin-only and is available now. Please try it out and let us know what works well, what doesn’t work well, and anything that might improve the experience.

 

Thank you!

Peter Baust - Dir, Product Management

Looks like it can also turn people into ghosts directly

I need to be able to increase the area of distraction where it misses all of the person.

the people removal did not remove the entire person at the edge of the frame.

When removing people, it should not replace them with alternative (fictitious) people. What’s the point in that?

When removing people, the shadows of the people should also be removed.  Most of the time, the shadows are not removed.

I had an image in a relatively dark church, and LR only found one person. Weirdly it found everyone in an outdoor shot.  I even tried to trick program by increasing exposure temporarily, it still only found the one person.

Hello

Camera Raw ver18.6.0.2698
MacOS 26.6.2

I want to revert some AI deleted people after AI delete people, but mouse cursor is magnifying glass, so I can’t click eraser.
In before version, I could revert some people.

Thanks,
