P: Distraction Removal: People (CR & LrClassic)

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!

Used Remove tool "People" in LR Classic. The tool did a good job of removing the cast shadow, but failed on the person. The tool replaced the person with tripod I was trying to eliminate with a very colorful person and a different tripod.

It works for simple removal of people, but one prominent person was not masked.

Under 0 circumstances ever does a photographer want one person in the background replaced with another person in the background.  Including when we use the "remove" tool, that came before "people".  Why is it trained to EVER replace with another person?

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.

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.
