P: Generative Remove Feedback (Lr Classic & Lr Eco)

Having trouble with a pretty simple remove.  It’s a tree branch, basically a long twig, against an overcast sky.  The branch has a small patch in the middle that is lighter than the rest of the branch.  For some reason the light part in the middle persists as a bright streak after using Remove, Generative Remove, or Heal options.  Even at 100% opacity it won’t go away.

I am trying REMOVE sign behind a person and it keeps REPLACING it with something similar.  Very frustrating when it is called the REMOVE tool.

Very disappointed with this. Tried to remove a rock jetty sticking out into the water and no matter which of the tools I use, including clone and heal, none of them are doing a good job. Went back and removed denoise because I have noticed trying to remove things after having done that, I doesn’t work as well but it still didn’t matter, just left a very dark area where the rocks were removed.

The tool fails to remove unwanted objects most of the time. It generates new objects similar to the ones we actually want to remove. It’s so frustrating to try to remove a pair of boots laying on the floor only to see them replaced by a AI generated pair of shoes. 

A qualidade do arquivo gerado na ferramenta de remoção generativa está horrível, não sei como resolver pesquisei e diz que tem um botao de selecionar a qualidade da geração, mas não existe botão

muito ruim quando quero apagar a pessoa no fundo e é criado uma outra pessoa, 

Some of the poor results you are seeing could be due to your GPU. If you are on Windows, Lightroom needs far more than the minimum GPU recommended by Adobe. It needs a minimum of 8GB and should be the latest NVIDIA hardware archecture. If on a MacBook, you want at least a M1 Max with at least 32 GB of RAM. 

I get mostly very good results (May 2026) but I carefully remove only one area at a time. If I attempt to remove a person and a car then the results are strange. It is using generative AI to fill in the erased area, attempting to match the area around the removed object. Even removing 2 similar objects, such as light poles, doesn’t work because each light pole has a different area around it.

I never get ghosts though I did with other products. Are you processing locally with a reasonably powerful GPU enabled? 

I’m not an Adobe apologist, I have no shortage of serious complaints about Lightroom and how they support it but this feature works better than any competing products that I’ve tried. I’ve read that the Photoshop remove works better but it uses the same underlying engine even though that doesn’t mean that it isn’t superior.

Generative AI, when trying to generate the bottom of an arched entrance/doorway always produces an inverted arch at the bottom insted of a normal horizontal passageway. It appears to be systematic and no variation you try, you never get anything else but an inverted arch at the bottom.
