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

I applied the Remove Distraction (People) function to this photo. Sadly, this is the result with most of the photos I have tried using this feature with. When it actually works, it's great, but most of the time, it doesn't work. Try training it to remove portions of people, and backs of people.

This is still really wonky. Mostly, it fails to remove the people in the photo, or at best, only removes those in the distance; not those in the foreground. Sometimes it tells you o people have been dtected, when the photo is full of people.

I only wanted to remove one person on the edge of the frame. The one of the edge of the frame was only a partial part of the person. It correctly identifed 4 people in the photo, I deleted the other 3 I wanted to keep in and it removed the one on the edge of the frame really well.

Select the one you don't want to remove then click the trash can below where you select the remove tool, it will remove them from the selected areas.

It's done a good job on my photos of scenic monuments, historical sites, etc. But it leaves a blank white spot where a crowd was standing. Probably too big of a space to fill in with AI. And it occasionally leaves behind a single individual that I would like to send to wherever the others went but I don't know how to do it

Hi,

I tried out the new distraction removal, it worked pretty well on my photos, but it doesnt pick up people behind something if they dont have legs, see photo I edited from a bird of prey session, it took out someones feet to the right but not the lady behind the bird. But overall very pleased with it.

I am finding it works well! I also like the ability to deselect distractions.
