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

Yes, how do we add additional people when the system doesn't select them or fully select some of its choices. I know how to remove but can't figure out how to add

It would be very useful if in the autodetect feature you coul add or subtract, It would help improve the accuracy of what was being removed.

It generally works well, but it would be better if the user could fine tune the part removed; someitimes the area to be removed bleeds into areas that should NOT be removed. Need a “subtract.” and prob an Add also

I love the ease it is to remove people.  The problem I’m seeing, is that it’s leaving the outline of the person where they used to be leaving it discolored (outline of where the person was).

I take it back.  Once I hit that update Ai edit button, it filled in the gap.  I’ll leave the my original post just in case it helps someone else to remember to hit that refresh/update button.

Love my adobe!!  I LOVED talking to the folks that were at the Imaging 2026 in Nashville.

Take care!

Buonasera, non funziona bene. Non tutte le persone sono evidenziate per la rimozione e cosa che non capisco, non è possibile aggiungere persone da eliminare, ma solo deselezionare quelle evidenizate in rosso dalla Ai.

Inoltre la zona dive le persone sono state eliminate, presenta una fastidiosa zona con una dominante colorata, nel mio caso di verde, anche se sono state eliminate su una strada.

Le chiazze colorate di verde comparse, non si eliminano facilmente ne col timbro, ne con il cerotto.

Spero la miglioriate
