Beim Entfernen von Elementen in Lightroom Classic wird das Element nicht restlos entfernt sondern erscheint nur farblos. Besonders dann wenn das Element vor dem Himmel steht. Siehe Beispielbilder. Was ist falsch?

    Let me explain why it will work if you do it correctly. The reason why you see this ‘ghost pole’ is because when you created the sky mask, that pole was obviously left out of the mask. You removed the pole, but that means there is now still a gap in the mask where the pole used to be. And so whatever the sky mask does, won’t be applied where the removed pole used to be. That is why updating the mask fixes that problem.

    Try it again: Click on the yellow AI Edit status button. Then click Update:

     

    Then it should look like this, with the AI Edit Status button grey and the ghost of the pole gone:

     

     

    If you don’t see this, then after clicking Update, post a full-resolution screenshot of the entire LR window showing what you do see.

    You need to update the mask. Click on that yellow wheel in the upper right corner.

    Hey, ​@Waldi112. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll need more info to help you figure this out. 

    Does this happen after a series of edits, or a specific set of images? Has this started recently? 

     

    Please confirm if the issue appears after you follow the correct order of development operations: https://adobe.ly/45Ub3Sl

     

    Let me know how it goes. Thanks!

    Ich bearbeite selten eine ganze Reihe von Bildern, sondern eher einzelne Bilder. Es passiert mir schon länger, mindestens ein Jahr, und nicht immer aber immer wieder. Ganz besonders, wenn der Hintergrund hell. z. B. Himmel is. Ist der Hintergrund dunkel oder unruhig, wie z. B. Wald, Buschwerk, Wiese, Landschaft passiert es nicht sehr oft.

    If you’re using AI function in Lightroom, ex. for removing distractions, you must follow a specific order of operations to get clean results.
