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

    Does it not work on any photos or just some photos? In the case of the former, it might be your GPU driver issue. See Update your graphics driver to try to update your graphics driver to the latest.

    Using the distraction removal for people, the first instance only found about 30% of the people and they were all located on the right side of the image. None of the rest of the people were even identified as possible suspects for removal. Needs a bit of work to improve selection of people in the entire image.

    Running Camera Raw Filter a second time did find the rest of the people.

    I am having mixed results with the Remove Reflections.

    It seems to work ok with my CR3 files, but not the DNG

    Is Adobe's RAW format not supported?

      I appreciate both the “Remove People” and “Remove Reflections” features. In my experience, the tool effectively removed two small groups of people from my image with impressive accuracy. I have yet to test its performance on larger crowds. Additionally, the “Remove Reflections” feature delivers excellent results, significantly enhancing image clarity.
