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

Hmmm. Welll, I have been using the Remove tool for a few days now and it needs A LOT of reworking for the algorithm and code. It needs fine tuning featuers BIG TIME. For this tool to be worth using at all, it needs to have much more realistic content aware replacements. It also needs fine tuning features. I need to be able to deselect and select small portions of the image manually. I need to be able to tell it which people and or items are to be removed. The AI is terrible at chosing the distraction vs the subject. It frequently leaves a visible digital outline of the removed people or objects. The AI often adds in new replacement obects that are not at all related to the original image. I am attaching the nest image ressult, which is pretty unrealistic. most other images were far worse than this rendering.

In my case, the distraction detection has been correct at the moment but in some cases I had to give up due to the reconstruction following the removal.

Wow, I just tried the distraction tool on many people at the temple in the Valley of the Temples in Sicily! It was amazing. I see a little blur on only one section and it removed a LOT of people in different parts of the photo!

removal went well, removing a few people in my background who were "small" things to remove.

Only removing 50% of the people in Lrc, the image is a 100mp so pretty clean. Can't attatch file as it's 47MB, to big.

Would love it if it could generate other possibilities - I find it often distorts fences and buildings in unacceptable ways on the first try

I like that it will chose the person in the background but sometimes it misses. It would be great to add a person in the mix as easily as it is to remove someone. Perhaps there could be a select all option and you could then delete the masks from those whom you want to keep?

Also, sometimes when a background person intersects a person you're keeping, it can be a little too agressive removing part of the person in the foreground. It would great great to have a history brush to brush back what you want to keep.
