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

Worked well for one photo.  Only had one person in a landscape.

I would love to be able to adjust the mask rather than just getting the variations.  That way, when the tool alters something integral to the photo, there is an option to erase that part of the mask.

It selected most of the person, but then left me with a weird lump.

Hola!! Esta función en general más o menos aceptable, pero podría mejorar. A veces distorsiona los objetos detrás de las personas que elimina y ya te destroza la foto. Podrían mejorar esa cuestión. Gracias! Un saludo.

Hi, when I try to remove distractions and choose "people", the software removes luggage and leaves the distracting people untouched

It wuld be much better if you could not only remove, but also add distracting people. Very often Lightroom doesn't detect any distracting people...

It is pretty good at detecting the people. However, i just ran it and it detected a distracting person in the background only to replace it with another distracting person. It needs to just remove the people.
