This post applies to Camera Raw.
Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Ecosystem feedback can be found here.
Previous Early Access Feedback can be found here.
 
Generative Remove makes it easier to remove unwanted objects and distractions with a simple gesture, even on complex backgrounds. For more accurate results, be sure to include the object's shadow in your selection and/or expand its size. 
 
Detect Objects uses AI to find the objects underneath a brushed area. The masked areas will now appear larger than the Early Access version of this feature. You can also circle objects for quicker selection now. 
 
We have also updated the spot selection experience to make it easier to manage variations, switch the fill type, refine the selection area, or re-generate as needed. 
 
Batch updating is also now supported for Generative Remove spots. 

As Generative AI analyzes portions of the image that have been cropped out, Camera Raw has the ability to toggle Show Uncropped Image is now available to guide you in your Generative Remove selection.

  • App version
  • System details
  • Example image(s) if you wish to share

Our team continually monitors this thread to track issues for future improvement. Thanks!

Can you please explain why generative removal tool refuses to complete the work on the attached image and keeps referring me to guidelines? This is an image of a ballerina being fitted for a costume!

Playing with the removal tool to remove an exgirlfriend from a family photo.  She is in the center of teh photo.  The AI did a good job of removing her, but what it left in its place isn’t great.  BUt it is a very busy photo.  Now I’m trying to figure out how to fill the AI messy bit with an image of something.

NOT WORKING. Check internet connection while I am listening to YouTube in streaming… 
PS 2026 opens and crashes everytime I open an image.
But my money every month is taken…
No answers. No excuses. No discount for the problems…
