P: Distraction Removal: People (CR & LrClassic)

 The tool is inconsistent. Sometimes it finds people, sometimes it doesn’t , even when they’re looking right at the camera. If someone is standing behind the main subject, it usually misses them completely.

It also tends to over-select. For example, I had my subject carrying a tent with two helpers behind. The tool picked up not only the helpers but the tent itself, with no option to deselect the tent.

Right now there’s no way to refine or adjust the selection, which makes the tool underdeveloped and not really ready for real use. Do hope you bring it up to speed sooner rather than later. Thank you.

I love the idea, but until this includes the ability to edit the mask, this feature is only meaningfully functional for a very limited set of images - one for which there are already robust tools available.

An editing tool for selected areas would be welcome, as some selections have more or fewer people than desired.

Often times when you want to remove a highlighted object, in this case, person(s), the feature would replace it with another person other than removing him/her.

Please consider adding the ability to refine the automatically selected area when selecting people. It often selects too much or too little. Having the ability to refine with a brush tool would make this more usable. 

it leafs prominent peaple in the forreground untouched which is a shame 

Great tool but it only works to a point, typically it will detect one out of two or more people that are grouped together and of of course it only deletes the one person,

Hopefully going forward this can be improved as there's so much potential in this feature.

Tried it on my Windows 11 system and found the Remove tool using Generative AI and Detect Objects worked better, and gave options with its results.  The results from using the Remove Distracting People didn't look natural to the scene for me, whereas removing them with the Remove tool looked much more natural.  Hopefully, the Remove Distracting People will work better in the future.

Tried for first time and worked fine in a number of images. A couple of times, however, I got a couple of weird artifacts that were pasted in area where distractions were removed. One was a toddler riding a tricycle and another was a goat! Sorry I didn't keep the files to drop here but seeing here that I was not the only one who experienced this.
