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

L'outil parait intéressant dans sa description, ce qu'il y a d'étonnant c'est qu'il remet d'autres personnes en moindre nombre dans les zones ou des personnes sont détectées...

The tool seems interesting in its description, what is surprising is that it puts other people in smaller numbers in the areas where people are detected...

Das Tool funktioniert nicht durchgängig gut. Bei einem Bild mit 5 groß sichtbaren Personen sind nach der Entfernung Schatten übrig geblieben und eine neue Person mit gelben Kopftuch wurde hinzugefügt!!! 
Irgendwie verwirrend ...
Zudem vermisse ich, dass man die maskierten Bereich ändern kann.

People Disteaction Tool ,very poor ,5 people near a car at a car show at best took 3 out ,another 17 mm shot with a few people inbackground took out the bodies on the far sides in the middle didnt do a thing ,you cant seem to go back in to remove the rest either one chance only .

Refection tool good at refections on glass in front of you ,dont bother with reflections on show cars waste of time .

ik heb geprobeerd om personen te verwijderen doch er komt een andere persoon in de plaats en er wordt slechts 1 persoon verwijderd instede van alle hinderende personen. Het werkt dus niet goed sorry

The first image I tried this on worded very well.  The second image didn't detect the obvious people nor remove anyone.  This is a AWR full RAW image (the image I uploaded is a JPG due to your file size limit).

 

The third image I tried skipped the most obvious person and rep[laced the other people with other people!

Distraction removal only seems to be available on certain images. I can go to one image in a series of 3 and it works as expected. Go to the next two images and Reflections and People are greyed out. However I discovered that if I make another edit and then go back to Distractions Removal the options may be available. Also, trying to remove people may be hit or miss. On some images it does a very good job of selecting all or most of the people while on others it misses 90% of the people.

This needs the ability to be able to use a brush to paint out certain areas that I don't want changed. This currently selects areas that I want to exclude. Other than that, it's pretty good.

If you click on the pin in the one you want to remain and press delete, it will remove the mask on that one, and not remove it.

J'ai eu besoin de cette fonctionalité, dans deux cas de figure la suppression à fonctionné le résultat obtenu était celui attendu. Mais dans le deuxième cas, je demandais à l'IA de suprimer une personne debout et une autre assise. Pour la personne debout, pas de souci, mais pour la personne assise elle était systématiquement remplacé par une autre personne assise ou par une chaise vide voir par une table. Pas trop convaincu pour le moment.

I found it inconsistent, in some photos it didn't choose anyone, in others it worked great.  My question is about after generating the people selection, I chose to leave one person.  Then I tried to go in again to remove that person, but the tool did not work.
