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!

Remove works realy great! 97% is OK. Most of the time "variations 1", sometimes variation 2 or 3 have to be used. Great job!!!!!

Trying to remove emergency exit signs with the generative remove tool, it would be really helpful if they were replaced by bits of wall instead of a different light.

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), so we and Adobe can see the issue in detail. With nearly every one of the several dozen problem photos posted here, we've been able to show how to quickly remove the desired objects.

Similar to photoshop content aware please allow to select part of the image to give AI an idea of what to generate. I would simply like to expand a backdrop but it generates something else entirely

@Miguel Aguillón Fotógrafo: "Generative deletion failed. We encountered a problem and are unable to complete your request at this time. Please try again later."

 

Sometimes firewalls and anti-malware / anti-virus utilities incorrectly block some network requests from LR. Try these troubleshooting steps:

- Temporarily disable all the firewall / anti-malware on your computer. If that solves the problem, then add a specific exclusion for LR to the firewall's rules.

- Connect to another network, preferably one serviced by a different ISP. E.g. a Wifi connection of a neighbor, a coffee shop, work, or your phone's hotspot. Sometimes the routers in these networks block LR's requests, especially in authoritarian countries like China.

- On Mac, try relaunching the Finder -- start Finder, click the Finder menu, and do Quit Finder. Someone reported that this solved this problem for him.

To help others, please let us know which of these work and which don't.

On the last version and this current version (I updated today), Generative Remove leaves the outline of the brush stroke. I have no masks on the image and the opacity of the brush is at 100. Does anyone have a fix for this? It's happening on multiple photos.

I'm using a Sony A7r5 and shooting in raw. I wonder if it has something to do with the high Megapixel's of the camera.

Bonjour, 

 

Dans la dernière version de Lightroom, les morceaux générés par la suppression par IA générative sont systématiquement flou et très brouillon. 

On s'attend a un rendu plus fin et précis pour que ça soit exploitable.

 

Bonne journée,

 

Maxime

@Shards: "In the latest version of Lightroom, the pieces generated by generative AI removal are consistently blurry and very messy."

 

Please post full-resolution screenshots (not phone pics) of the entire LR window after you've selected an object and then again after you've clicked Remove, so we can see the issue in detail.

The "remove" tool does not work correctly, many times when you want to delete an object, it simply replaces it with another similar one, the same thing happens with people.
