P: Generative Remove Feedback (Camera Raw)

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. 
 
Try out the latest updates and share your feedback with us here. Please also include the following details in your post: 
  • 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!

Update (Dec 2024):  With the new release, it is no longer necessary to perform Generative Remove Operations prior to Cropping. 
Update (August 2025) With the new release, the Generative Remove Engine has been updated.

I’m removing a foreground branch, behind which the background is distant trees.  The distant trees are sharp but the fill-in done by Remove > Use Generative AI is a fuzzy bunch of branches… no detail.  It feels like the AI doesn’t recognise that the background is tree branches and therefore tries to approximate the general pattern it’s seeing.  The result is even worse when Use Generative AI is disabled.

It doesn't work. Using the Remove with unchecked Use Generative AI or with checked it still add stuff from the surrounding. Remove by the feet and suddenly a face pops up instead.

It is useless, and just get more and more unusable.

PLEASE!!!!

Remove the block about nudity photography. I just need to remove skins imperfections in my nudity photographies and I have a BIG PROBLEM with the Adobe's politics about this case when I use the AI erases at Camera RAW.

Not ready for PRIME TIME.  I find it’s leaving artifacts after removal usually its picking images up from surrounding area. For example: removing a car from a gravel driveway with a grass border - removes car but places grass in the middle of corrected area rather than gravel.  Either I’m doing something wrong (likely) or this isn’t quite AI enough.
