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!

The ''Remove'' tool sometimes just doesn't remove. It replaces the image with some other genarated creepy stuff.. But i only want to ''Remove'' the stuff, not to replace it with something weird!

See this short article for how to remove objects more reliably:

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.

This does not work as well as photoshop? why?

@Hal35668775dy1a: "This does not work as well as photoshop? why?" Generative Remove in LR uses the same algorithm as in Photoshop. Try unchecking Detect Objects (on by default in LR 14) -- it doesn't always work well, especially with skinny objects and along the edges of photos.

If that doesn't help, please attach a full-resolution JPEG exported from the unmodified original photo (not a screenshot) and call out what's not working in LR but works in PS. 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.

I'm attempting to replace an electrical box on a wall that intrudes into the rectangle for the graffitee that is the subject of the image. What I get with generative AI is new material with people and objects that aren't in ant of the photos in my library. I also get partial replacements and replacement with other objects in the image. Since the box is surrounded by a stucco wall, I would have expected that it would use this adjacent area to remove the object. In no iteration was the replacement anywhere close to replacng the box with anything closely resembling the surrounding wall. Totally useless for this photo in any case.

Hello.

This is the original photo.

I wanted to remove the person in the foreground, but I got this:

I made several attempts. Once there was a road construction worker, once a
child bending down, and finally this very object. What happened there?

Best regards

Remover objetos por IA deveria de fato remover objetos. Eu recebo muito resultado ruim, incluindo objetos que não deveriam estar ali. Se o objetivo é remover, não deveria incluir. Removendo libros de uma prateleira recebi imagem colocando LIXO, uma lata de lixo e uma torre de papel amassado no lugar. No Photoshop funciona melhor quando eu consigo descrever com prompt simples: "remove with content aware". É mágico! Só que no LR é uma tristeza. São muitas tentativas. Tantas que me questiono se essa é uma ferramenta útil no LightRoom, porque só me fez perder MUITO tempo de trabalho. Triste e frustrante.

@Leandro_Barreto: "I question whether this is a useful tool in LightRoom, because it only made me waste A LOT of work time."

There are many dozens of examples posted in this thread showing it usually works quite well. But as with any AI tool, there are certainly some instances where it doesn't. Please attach a full-resolution JPEG exported from a problem unmodified original photo (not a screenshot) and call out what you're trying to remove.

Comlete nonsense!

There is nothing removed. The marked object is replaced by some other object. Pure phantasy!

AI has been working perfect up to this point. Some great improvements have happen most recently. Thanks!

Hi!

No idea if this hint has already happened: Perhaps it would be useful if you could provide comparison photos, e.g. from the web, to the AI. I have already had the case several times that I wanted to remove a poster or something similar from the picture. The solutions generated were often not so good and in most cases images already exist in the web, from time points at which the disturbing element was not yet there.

The generative Remove has been working very well. Starting today 1/13/2025 it removes tiny objects fine but anything bigger than a "stanp" size is smudged badly.

There are several easy-to-resolve possible causes. Please attach a full-resolution JPEG exported from the unmodified original photo (not a screenshot). Also attach a full-resolution screenshot (not a phone pic) of the entire LR window showing the Remove selection and smudged results.

In both LR and PS Beta, I have tried to remove one person from a group photo, but generative ai persistently tries to fill the space with another person. All I want to do is remove the person and fill the space with the background. I have tried everything including tighten the selection, expand the selection to include part of the background, but no matter what I do, PS and LR ai puts another figure in place of the one I am trying to remove. What am I doing wrong? Also, I dragged the photo into your box below, and it said it was too big - come on, as a professional photographer, I deal only in large raw files and I would expect Adobe to accommodate!

I've had luck using the heal brush and cloning basic background elements over the person first (like a really bad paint over) and then using the generative AI with no prompt in segments to clean up edges and such.
