P: Distraction Removal: People (CR & LrClassic)

While the "Peope" distraction removal tool has so far recognized people well, when it removes them, it leaves a yellow shadow of the person in it's place.

On about my 7th attempt to use the distraction removal tool and frankly only in one instance did it provide a useable image. In the most recent attempt the tool ID'd a bright halo on a poster behind the glass and dimmed the halo, while ignoring the buildings and cars reflected in the window.

Alas I can't up load the raw file and the resulting .dng for your review.

Remove people and got a scene out of Jurassic Park complete with Velocoraptors.  I think AI has a sense of humor...

Removing people does not work, it inserts distorted, anatomically incorrect people instead of the ones I wanted to remove

It finds poeple quite well. However, it tends to add new people instead which makes no sense at all.

Kind regards

New feature works okay sometimes.  Can distort person, e.g. removing head from person in background over subject's shoulder results in distortion of shoulder and sometimes removes in animate objects when removing people.  Still playing with it but so far it iis okay in some circumstances.

In a photo I have of a building, there are two people off to the side, and one person more in the middle. Both are distracting, but the software only selects the two people off to the side. It removes them nicely, but I also want to select the person in the middle. There seems to be no way to add them. That seems like a much-needed missing feature.

I've tried the new removal of distracting people tool with mixed success.  In several images, it has correctly identified humans.  Rather than deleting them, it has replaced them with other "people".   

I tried it in LR Classic on Medium size lossless compressed RAW files from my Sony A7R V.

People Removal looked like it was going to be really good because it instantly selected all the people. However it is useless. After about a minute of processing it came upe with the message "The service is not responding. Please check your internet and try again."

My internet has no problem streaming HD. I tried several photos several times each with the same result. I tried it on another photo with no people. It selected and deleted a chimney. I went back to one with people and deleted more and more groups of people from the selection but got the same error message each time. Finally when I was down to one group of four people it did something: it deleted two of the people, removed the head of the third and changed the head and torso of the fourth to a different person connected to the original arm!

Does Adobe just put stuff out without testing it? I'll have to revert to the manual AI removal function, which takes trial and error to get a good result.
