P: Distraction Removal: People (CR & LrClassic)

It works sometimes, but not others. Maybe there are too many people in the background. The prompt says, "Click the pin icon to generate results for this area," but where is the pin?

6 people in front of a building, the people distraction removal tool removed none of them

If there was a brush to adapt the selections, it would be nice. Removing the bride and groom on a busy bridge along with all the other people wasn’t my goal haha

This is a great tool, however I have found that frequently it tends to link groups of people I want removed to the ones I want to keep. I really haven’t found a way to get around this. This makes me think that there is room for improvement. 

The removal of Distracting People tool in LRC works like magic on some photos.  In others it misses obvious people in the photo and in others it want to remove non people objects.  So it’s quite a mixed review, but in my opinion it’s worth keeping in LRC and trying to improve it’s reliability.

There are a lot of faults, but all in all, for what it does, it’s quite magic.  Those brought up on Photoshop will probably continue to do it that way, but I was brought up, so to speak, on LrC and find Ps a PITA.  I’ll happily continue to use LrC people removal.  Where it doesn’t do exactly what I’d like, that’s just too bad.  Few things are all things to all people.

More often than not, there is an “unexpected error”. If it doesn’t work most of the time, it should not be rolled out.

I tried it - sometimes do great work - sometimes removed to much (in my case the person plus a rock beside him)

Often works well, but in many situations leaves silhouettes of the people removed.
