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!

didn’t work well. it removed only 1 of 8 people in my photo. the people were easily recognizable as people. the one person it tried to remove left a black splotch that looked like an alien. tried twice. basically the same result.

My SO is Windows 11 and the Distraction Removal is incluind/excluding things on the pictures. It is not working correctly.

It removed the person but did a really bad job blending the repair. The last version worked so much better.

Terrible. Aimed to take out a “distractive” person. Extremely easy to find for the software plus plane background (single color). Made a complete mess of it, removing the distraction but giving the main person in the shot a bad lip surgery and third degree burns in the process. More than just disappointing.

LOTS of ghosting/outlines of what’s been removed with the people distraction removal. Extremely frustrating!

In the remove pannel please add a brush to add or remove from the selection to be removed.

Thanks.

Me too had this problem : While the tool removed the people nicely, it did not adjust the surrounding lighting, making it look like two ghosts were stalking the photo.

The fact I can’t remove a woman in a bikin in the background because of “policy guidelines’ is silly. I have a nice picture of my family and I can remove two other people (who happen to not be in bikinis) and the most distracting person in the photo can’t be removed due to “policy guidelines”.
