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!

The Generative Remove tool doesn't work very good on removing cars. The tool it self is very good. But when it comes to cars it always replaces the car of multiple cars with another car. When I'm looking for a 'remove' I do not want a 'replace'.

Used generative remove today few times. Worked great. BUT! On one image I needed to remove two people. Removed 1st - fine, tried to remove second one - person was removed, but on the same plase apeared other men from God know where! He wasn't on my photo. Closed camera raw, reopened tried one more time - some other figure materialized from thin air. Is it a fiture? 🙂

I realize this is a new feature but it is failing miserably on night time images from a Las Vegas hotel room. Most of the reflections are only reduced around fifty percent and not removed at all and that is at "100%" removal setting. Hopefully this will improve in the near future. I am saving the raw files for a go at it later.

Generate Remove tool is very useful in the cases where there is some unwanted object sudenly comes before lens and can not be avoided. For Arts shake this tool has helped a lot. I like it .

I am having more success with generative remove in the Photoshop app than the generative remove in Camera Raw. 

Example 1 is the original picture. 

Example 2 is using generative remove in the Photoshop 2025 app (MacBook Pro with Sequoia 15.1.1}

Example 3 is using generartive remove in the Camera Raw Filter.

I have the latest app updates  PS (V. 26.2).  Running Win 10 on a PC.  I've checked "Technology Previews".   I am trying to work on a raw file (.RW2) but am told that "Distraction removal is not currently compatible with this file format."  What am I missing?

You need open a Raw file directly in Photoshop.   You can't pass it from Lightroom
