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

its missing a few of the people but this is an awsome feature.

It leaves an outline of the person removed and that cannot be fixed. It was of no use to me as its worse than just leaving the person there.

It doesn't completely remve people from the edges, it leaves a telltale trace of the person and what clothes they were wearing.

More then 20 distracting people on my picture, only 1 is selected. Would it not be simpler if all people were selected each with a + or - so i can dicide.

Would be good if you can "add" distractions as it misses' some which I think should be included in the "distractions".

Does remove people but replaces them with other objects.  In one instance a large green can.

Image through a glass with obvious reflection of people cannot remove either using the reflection or the remove people tool.  AI failed to recognize an obvious human face in front of a bear behind the glass at a zoo.

Thanks!
