P: Distraction Removal: People (CR & LrClassic)

fantastico ora ho capito , grazie 

Tried this new (to me!) version of the people removal in LRC today. I liked the older version where you had to select the people to remove. I thought it usually worked well, although sometimes the people were replaced with something else. This automatic version failed to remove some of the people The ones it did remove, were removed well. All of the people were at a considerable distance in the Namibian landscape of Dead Vlei in Sossusvlei.

If you are trying to remove distracting people, then why does it add a different person? That doesn't work.
And why can't you edit the area it selects?
And why can't you choose more than once?
I go back to spot removal most the time.

We should be able to edit/tweek the auto mask. Because it often misses in the borders and i just want to remove the mask on those areas.

 This was what I got after removing all background tourists.

Sometimes this works perfectly in removing all people. Other times it creates a horrible image, which seems to be a composite of those removed. Ugly.

HIya Great you have added this feature - sadly though I have a ghost figure now. WHich given its an abandoned lonely croft house on a Scottish moor is evocative but not helpful! 

THIS DOES NOT WORK!
It took away the person to add a guy that I did not even know LOL!

I used the feature on several images taken at a tourist attraction with quite a few people moving about in each one, in every example the effect was fantastic with everyone highlighted vanishing perfectly. The only point I would make is that there is a note that if there are items you do not want removed they can be deleted before the action is taken but no indication that if there are people or items that you want to add how that can be done.
