P: Distraction Removal: People (CR & LrClassic)

This feature is working better than I anticipated! It is quite valuable when photographing landscapes with people in the foreground. Knowing this, I no longer have to stand and wait, hoping that the crowds will disappear!

Hi,

I just installed LrC version 14.5.1 and tried the features after a failing debut in v. 14.4. The Distraction Removal of People: the red overlay with the pins appeared on only one image. I don't get any overlay on most pictures, so I can only remove all of the found people. 
Anyway when closing and reopening LrC, all removed people reappear after a second, i.e. on all pictures independly of above scenarios. The changes are however applied when exporting the pictures. This is the same behavior as in v. 14.4.

Best regards,

I used distraction removal (in PS RAW) for a man (full length) partially behind a group of three people.  It removed the man but left just a cartoonish face of a different man with a large moustache instead.

Excelente por el momento !!

Able to remove only a couple of people and not all (not that many) in the background.

It would be great if we could add people (in the background) that hadn't been detected autmatically.

Also, to be able to edit the areas that have been detected autmatically, by adding or substracting.

I'm a professional photographer using Lr daily.

Thank you!

Bastante bueno trabajando con fotografías nocturnas.

Hi   I used people removal for the first time.  It works really well but it only ound one group of people,  I wasn't able to move to another group and remove them. Was I missing something ??

 The tool is inconsistent. Sometimes it finds people, sometimes it doesn’t , even when they’re looking right at the camera. If someone is standing behind the main subject, it usually misses them completely.

It also tends to over-select. For example, I had my subject carrying a tent with two helpers behind. The tool picked up not only the helpers but the tent itself, with no option to deselect the tent.

Right now there’s no way to refine or adjust the selection, which makes the tool underdeveloped and not really ready for real use. Do hope you bring it up to speed sooner rather than later. Thank you.

I love the idea, but until this includes the ability to edit the mask, this feature is only meaningfully functional for a very limited set of images - one for which there are already robust tools available.
