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 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

LR has a recommended order for AI edits.  This happens when the edits are out of order.  Select the icon next to the snowflake an it should place the AI edits in their proper order.

I am using the latest version of ACR on Windows 11. I used to be able to exclude the areas I did not want to be removed by clicking on the pin of the area and then press Delete. Now, the clicking only results in enlarging the area, and I cannot delete the area anymore.

Three pair of legs in a grassy field at the top of the photo were identified and removed, but what was left behind was blurred and a lighter color than the surrounding grass.
