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!

Peter Baust - Dir, Product Management

I was excited to see this feature added, however I was disappointed that when I edit the colors and try to delete people, it doesn't match the color edits in background. I tried doing the people extraction BEFORE I edit but then when I went to add my preset color it puts the deleted people back to the image??

Does NOT work properly!  Am unable to click on pin to delete a person from removal.  Instead, the zoom feature turns itself on whenever curser is placed over photo.  Therefore, people that I do not want removed are removed anyway.  Darned annoying!  This is definitely a major bug!  Please help!!!!!

I removed people from a photo and updated the AI, when I went back days later, I had to do it all over every time the AI needed to updated.  Finally I took into photoshop so it would be done forever.

I have one more example in which the algorithm does not identify people, visually not different from the identified person. All 4 people in this image are close to each other, in full sight, with a similar size.
 

Only one person of 4 identified
