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 like this new Feature and it can works very nicely and effective but in some case it could be nice to choose between 3 versions , similar to the remove tool. Thans

Love the new removal of distracting people but would also like a Add or Subtract feature to fine tune.

Remarkable! Tried it on a few RAW and JPEG images and worked mostly flawlessly. Great for onscreen images but a bit low-resolution for printing so would like to have an option (someday) to re-generate selected or all corrections as higher resolution. Thanks!

Hello, for my part, after trying, very effective. On the other hand, with the selection, if you want to add an additional group of characters to delete, is it possible, how do you add a new selection? Thank you for your feedback.

Why doesn't the community/adobe.com page offer a translation of the comments?

You can continue the Generative AI Remove manually after the automatic one.

Started with this 

 

Ended up with this : 

Notice the very large stone ball that was left in place, it removed some of the trash cans.

Hi! I tried the new feature and it worked really well on a photo with multiple people — until I looked a bit closer and saw that one person had been swapped out with an AI-generated version of a completely different (and random) person 😂
Attaching the photo here for reference. (The darker version is the before)

Hi Rikk,

it works great but it would be useful to have the possibility to edit the mask with a paintbrush.
It happened that one arm was left, I needed to delete it with the Remove function.

Thanks

Hi, maybe it removes 'distracting people' but at the same time is changing a surrounding a lot, it is not an acceptable result of doing.

Works well - but it would be good to have the option to not replace with other object - just the background.
