P: Distraction Removal: People (CR & LrClassic)

Not all people are selected, and do not know how to add them to the selection

Removed a person and replaced with another person.  On another occasion there were at least ten people in the image and it didn't recognize any of them.  Still needs a lot of work. 

When you disctract people, why does it put back people sometimes...

It doesn't work as expected. It doesn't recognise all the people. Algorith must be perfected and better trained. There'st still a long way to get there. I'm afraid others are achieving it faster than adobe.

no elimina bien, a pesar que es una imagen muy nitida y clara, deforma el rostro de las personas del primer plano, deja pies y aumenta pies en algunas personas.

When trying out this new feature it eliminated only one person when there were 3 to remove, and added a new distored figure in the photo.

I just removed some people in the background from a photo. However in one cases, the person got replaced with a different, ai generated person. Also a person was partly behind me , and it was correctly recognized, but replaced with just a shoulder and an arm. 

Needs ability for user to select and area to look at for distractions. Otherwise, removes the easiest which usually happens to be the subject of the image. And does nothing for the distracting people and no way for the user to "point" it to those people. Works quite well about 2/3rds of the time. The other 1/3rd can be humerous. I'd rate it an initial prototype, well before a beta release to users.

I'm a travel & church photographer and just finished 3 months of shooting in Italy, Slovenia and Croatia.  I have spent the last 2 weeks in post in LR editing the shots on my powerful desktop because the AI featrures of Adobe are best used on a powerful PC, although I do edit on the rtoad a lot.  Anyway, I have been using this people reomve AI feature on about 300 images and it works like magic when it works, and when it soesn't you just delete that pin.  Here are some more comments.  I have posted once earlier.

It works for me about half the time and it is wonderful.  When it does not work it is because there is something the person was standing in front of that can't be regenerated accurately.  Example, - a man is standing in front of and cutting off the view of a statue and the part of the statue that is regenerated can't be accurate.  But people sitting in pews?  It deletes them and regenerates perfect rows of empty pews.  

- We need the ability to click on a person in the scene that has not been picked up by the scan and for that to redirect the dtection effort.

- We need an option for the selection to be individual people vs a large group of people.  Why?  Because sometimes in the selected group several people are deleted perfectly but one person messes up the whole selection because whatr was behind that one persone was not regenerated anywhere near OK.  We need the ability to leave that person that the dlete didn't work well on in the scene and delete the rest that were deleted properly in the group delete.   

- I am a high-resolution Medium Format photographer (Fuji GFX) and I zoom in on every deletion to see the effect.  When it works it is perfect - same resolution and no noise added and a deletion that is completely undetectable even at full resolution.    

Used it in front of a monument to remove a tourist group standing directly in front.  It seemed to identify everyone well but the end result it left a few people in place with part of the head missing and a dog.  It's new technology which I'm excited about but surprised to see some of the results.
