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

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.

I need to be able to brush away areas that I do not want removed, for example, architectural elements often look like standing people. Notice how the railing was also removed.

It would be great if users could paint areas away that they do not want removed. For example, if people are close together, parts of some people are removed that I need to keep. I would have much-needed control if I could paint these areas away from being affected. In the attached, I want the umpire removed, but not the pitcher's hand. Thanks!

Funciona parcialmente ya que no detecta a todas las personas que claramente son distractoras y no son parte de la fotografía. Además tiene la opción de anular alguna selección de borrado y que se desea mantener esa persona lo que me parece bien , pero no tiene o no encuentro la opción de agregar mas personas a borrar y que la IA no marcó para eliminar.

Still not working.  On average I am lucky if it identifies 10% of the people in the image.  The weird part is that it does not identify the obvious ones but parts of  others.

I have tried this function a number of times and find it useless. Have tried to remove a distracting person in the background of a picture. The person is highlighted by the feature, but when I press to remove it, it is replaced by an AI generated person instead. I don't want anyone else in the background, I don't want anyone at all.

I wish it gave me three options and the option to generate more choices.
