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!

hola gente! uso mucho lightroom cada dia, y aun estando actualizado version 15.1.1 , en el modo de borrar con IA generativa, nunca me aparece el cuadro de dialogo para dar alguna informacion. El caso puntual es que trabajo con vestuarios grandes que vuela, y nunca me “extiende” el vestido, la tela digamos, siempre me la corta ampliando mas fondo. Se entiende el ejemplo? la ia me dijo que actualizando la app me apareceria el cuadro para poner por ejemplo “estender la tela” o “continuar cola del vestido”. Alguna recomendacion? ya se que migrando a photoshop se puede realizar, pero tengo bastante caudal de trabajo y prefiero optimizarlo resolviendo todo en lightroom. Alguna solucion o sugerencia para que aparezca el cuadro de dialogo? pueden ver el tipo de trabajo que hago en @lauraporporatto.artphotos … ahi lo entenderan todo. muchas gracias!!!!!!

Hola Laura, yo uso PS y Lr, y para extender objetos Lr no parece ser muy bueno, la herramienta Quitar justamente quita objetos, yo la uso mucho en Lr  para mejorar cabelleras y pelos. Pero para extender objetos, es mejor PS. Suerte!

Hello everyone, been having issues with generative removal. I remove objects from the photo, then I edit other photos, and when I export is like I havent removed anything. If I remove and imediately export, then the AI removal is correct, but if I take some time to export the AI goes back to original, without being removed. 

When I go back to the image the erasers have this orange symbol, but it only allows me to update without actually removing. So this orange symbol does nothing. 

I’ve already searched this problem and they say to update catalog, its already updated, to remove its place, I've done that, but nothing works.

Subject: Bug Report and Complaint Regarding Erase Brush AI Feature in Adobe Lightroom Classic

Dear Adobe Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my concern regarding a technical issue I have encountered with the Erase Brush tool, specifically the AI erasing function, in Adobe Lightroom Classic.

Despite the promising capabilities of the AI erasing feature, I have experienced persistent bugs that significantly hinder its performance and usability. The tool often fails to accurately remove unwanted elements, resulting in unsatisfactory edits and disrupting my workflow. These glitches detract from the otherwise excellent user experience I expect from Adobe products.

As a dedicated user of Adobe Lightroom Classic, I rely heavily on your software for professional photo editing. Therefore, I kindly request that your development team prioritize investigating and resolving these bugs at the earliest possible convenience.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and a future update that addresses these issues.

Best regards,
Punit

Why does Distraction Removal not appear in LrC for me?  About LrC says it is v15.

I'm having the same issue as a lot of other users here(the remover tool just replacing rather than removing, and the quality has significantly dropped), with photos as an example. Even when I carefully detail only the wires and poles I'm trying to remove, it just gives me a gross AI version of it.

 

And, within the last week, I'm noticing it is even changing the image outside of my selections/highlights, bringing on a whole other unpredictable issue (see photos of couple's face)

 

Photos include the original, where exactly I highlighted, and the best of the generative removal options it gave me. I've been stuck on this exact photo for 45 minutes already and have tried everything in that blog that is being sent.

Here's another image with a much simpler removal job, and this one can't even be done.

Hello

With the new version, it's no longer possible to move generated removal masks using the mouse.

The image switches to a horizontal view, which makes it impossible to move!

I hope this is a bug that will be fixed quickly...

@christoph_5810: "it's no longer possible to move generated removal masks using the mouse. The image switches to a horizontal view, which makes it impossible to move!"

 

I'm not observing the problem in my LR 15.0 / Mac OS 15.7.1 (see the attached screen recording). Unless Adobe can replicate the problem easily, they're unlikely to pay much attention. Next troubleshooting steps:

 

1. Do the LR menu command Help > System Info and copy/paste the entire contents here so we can see exactly which versions of hardware and software LR thinks you're running and important LR options that are set.

 

2. If the steps you're taking look different than those in my screen recording, then attach a full-resolution screen recording similar to mine (not a phone video) showing what you're seeing:

Lightroom Classic is leaving a "ghost" outline of the removed content using generative AI.

It looks like you've applied Remove on top of an AI mask (e.g. Sky). Click the yellow AI Edit Status button and then Update:

LR:

Windows 11 home

OS Build 26200.7019

Having an issue on a specific image trying to remove a stick.

I've rebooted windows and tried doing the removal again. Again it only shows black.
I tried another image and remove works fine. So far just this specific image on multiple tries.

I'll add replies if I encounter this again.

CanonR5mk2 with firmware 1.1.1

@Cg Ray: "Link to CRAW file"

 

Of course, the problem with that photo doesn't occur on my Macbook Pro / LR 15.0 / Mac OS 15.7.1 or my ASUS mini-PC LR 15.0 / Windows 11. I tried with and without Detect Objects checked and immediately after restarting LR.

 

A few others have reported similar intermittent symptoms, but unless Adobe can reproduce this reliably, they're unlikely to pay attention (unless many more people report it).

 

To help narrow down possible causes, please do the LR menu command Help > System Info and attach or  copy/paste the entire contents here so we can see exactly which versions of hardware and software LR thinks you're running and important LR options that are set.

When I've been doing generative remove, it will leave the outline of the silhoutte of a person that doesn't blend with the image(like a ghost almost.) If I try to do another generative remove or a heal or remove, the same outlined silhouette remains.
