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

This post applies to Lightroom Classic and the Lightroom Ecosystem products.
Camera Raw 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. 
 
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!

Me parece una mejora indispensable, tanto que recomiendo que se incluya dentro de máscaras, ya que estas funcionan muy bien y por ejemplo tras reconocer a una persona, podríamos eliminarla con gran facilidad. Gracias

Thanks for your reply. Do you have any timelines for this improvement?

Hi,

tell me how to us this feature if my computer is behind a Proxy. I can't find any option in LR to fix this problem. It seems LR does'nt use the system settings of Microsoft Windows.

I need a solution!

BR.

Working to remove/clean up the bottom of this shoe and instead of JUST removing the black, it alteres the shape of the shoe....

"Working to remove/clean up the bottom of this shoe and instead of JUST removing the black"

 

A thing to keep in mind with Generative AI Remove is that it is always trying to generate a replacement that it thinks best matches the area surrounding the selection.   So what you don't select is as important as what you select. 

 

In this case, selecting the white part of the heel and the reflecting scuff marks on the sole causes replacements that try to match the back part of the heel and clean part of the sole, without changing the shape of the shoe:

 

 

 

I had to try about 6 variants to find this one.

 

Sometimes it helps to do two removals. In this case, I first replaced the white part of the heel, and then replaced the white reflective scuff marks:

  

 

I looked at perhaps 6-8 variations for each. 

 

A tip: When you're looking at more than the first 3 variations and see one that you think is plausible, make a snapshot by clicking the + button the Snapshots panel. Then you can later review all the saved snasphots very quickly.

Its so frustrating … honestly its sometimes hot but mostly its not. If I try to delete some object it will be replaced with random bull****.  E.g.  if I want to delete a car the actual car will be replaced by another Ai-generated car instead of a reconstruction of the background covered by the first car. This ist artificial stupidity … sorry. ;D

See this short article for how to remove objects more reliably:
https://www.lightroomqueen.com/generative-remove-replace/

Most complaints about Remove are addressed in the article. But if it doesn't help, please attach a full-resolution JPEG exported from the unmodified original photo (not a screenshot). With nearly every one of the many dozen problem photos posted here, we've been able to show how to quickly remove the desired objects.

Remove means remove! Not add the same object similar to the one you are trying to remove. Give us the option to put directions. Like, "match the wall" etc

@Daniel336694186n1h, removing .lrcat-data and doing batch Update AI Settings on all photos has worked for many others with these symptoms. I don't know why it isn't work for you, unfortunately.  Do you have the latest version of LR installed, 14.3.1?  If you're not positive, do the menu command Help > System Info to triple-check. There was a bug with Update AI Settings that Adobe fixed a couple releases ago.

 

You could try chatting with Adobe support. To get to a human, go here:

https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html

 

click on the chat bubble at the bottom, and type "agent".

 

But beware that Adobe support is notorious for often not helping with difficult technical issues and sometimes will say anything to close out an issue.

I just updated and still all my galleries still need updating for every single edited photo.  I don't have time to update every photo or try batch update for every gallery (to no avail.)  I feel like it's hopeless.  I've never had major problems like this with Lightroom in all my years having it since 2008.  I'll try support I guess.   If Adobe support cant handle a tech problem like this, who can?  Is there anyone who is a pro tech that I can pay to help me investigate my problem?

the AI needs to work on how to remove light leaks from images shot on film. it severly struggles in that aspect but besides that it works well the majority of the time.

Here are videos to explain my failed attempt to fix the Gen AI tool issue that I have been dealing with.  Updating all my edits doesn't work.  Batch updating doesn't work.  It remembers my edits for a minute and then forgets and tells me to update again and again and again.  I followed instructions about moving the ircat-data file, but Lightroom warned me it wouldn't remember my edits.  Please watch the videos and tell me what I need to do to fix this problem for good.  My previous post is this:

"I followed instructions about moving the ircat-data file, but Lightroom warned me it wouldn't remember my edits.


It sounds like you didn't do the last step of the instructions above, after moving the .lrcat-data file and restarting LR:

 

7. In Library Grid view (not Loupe view), select all photos and do Photo > Develop Settings > Update AI Settings. That will recompute all the AI masks, which could take a while.

 

The actual settings of the AI edits are stored in the main catalog file. The .lrcat-data file stores the pixels computed from those settings by the AI algorithms and can be recomputed at will by doing Update AI Settings.

Ok, I finally followed the instructions and I got this screen message for the first time.  

 

Please help!  I have client galleries that are due.

Fantastic tool. Be great if it had a more flexibility: straight removal vs replacement
