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.

Hi! When I use the Remove tool (Generative AI) in Camera Raw it works very good, but no with lights. I believe that it make sense if the selection is recognizing that from that source-point of light, it will affect the edge of the selection, but it would be helpful that at least keep the same reflection of light, but not that point where the light is coming from. Sorry my english, I hope this is understandable and helpful!

Tested on e-commerce PDP images, but it totally fails in the reconstruction of the fine detailed micro-textures of the garments. It requires significant manual effort to recover the micro-texture. This same issue happens in the new Remove Tool in PS as well. Not fit for post-production usage. Not ready yet for professional usage.

Remove also takes care of nasty shadows! Sometimes I find myself with no option other than to take an image during the worst times of day--bright sun, high in the sky.

Loving the new changes in this and in PS. I'm in the RAW editor and trying to remove a black wrought iron fence/handrail. It has been perfect on the other 2 images but on one it just keeps telling me it is going against the rules. Not sure what it's seeing on that but I do have a pregnant woman right beside it and she is fully clothed but her belly is across the handrail. I have tried including some of her belly and making sure I am not getting any of it, as well as just different tried, but still getting the same warning.

Od ostatniej aktualizacji usuwanie generatywne znacznie się pogorszyło.

Nie da się zaznaczyć oddzielnego, edytowanego punktu (kiedyś wszystkie były widoczne i każdy z nich można było edytować). Obecnie usuwanie generatywne zamiast ułatwiać mi pracę - zdecydowanie ją utrudnia. Pojawiają się nierealistyczne wypełnienia, wyskakują piksele...

Poprzednia wersja była zdecydowanie lepsza.

For sports photography, getting reflections on the face guards of players (e.g., football players wearing helmets and a face shield) is a major challenge. The reflection remove tool does not seem to work on this. I was wondering if this could be added? Thanks!

Panorama was created with fill option. Attempted to clean up fill with Remove with Gen AI. Outcome was worse than start in that it remembered where the original fill line was.

Update (Aug 2025): The remove and generate with AI is completely "confused". I edited 2 Pictures from a Series a week ago and i could easily remove and generate. You didnt even see that there was a object before. Now he generates random stuff into the raw Image. When a update breaks AI then you know its not a good update.
But basically until July 2025 it was a perfect tool.

Normally I'd just do the masking and removal myself but thought: Let's try the built in tool!
For one thing the UI is far my clunky than it should be, but even then I made sure to so a very accurate mask of the subject (clearly defined) to be removed. This is almost the perfect situation for this tool except... I think the images speak for themselves...
