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

Well because "removing something" is sort of a context dependent and subjective operation. That is why additional prompt is quite useful for such tool.

The result that you present is something that I would rather expect from a healing tool, though.

@lukasradek: "In Lightroom Classic, there should be some sort of prompt to guide the AI generative remove.."

Photoshop has Generative Fill, which allows you to provide prompts. A couple others have requested here that LR offer something similar. Please add your constructive opinion and upvote this existing feature request:

"I am trying to remove a person from a photo of an auditorium full of people and it continuously tries to generate someone else in that place."

This is often possible with Remove but requires experience with Remove's rougher edges. See here for an example of removing a person from a crowded group of people:

This example trips over a misfeature in the Remove selection UI, which if it were fixed, would have made the example much easier to accomplish. If this doesn't help, please attach a full-resolution JPEG exported from the unmodified original photo (not a screenshot), and I'll see how hard it is to use Remove. (This would provide more evidence either for Adobe to fix the Remove UI and/or for allowing generative-fill prompts.)

@Jose GZ: "I keep getting the message that there is no Internet connection"

Please post a full-resolution screenshot (not a phone pic) of the entire error message -- depending on the error, there's probably a workaround.

@henke51366242: "Occasionally though it leaves weird 'blobs' "

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

@Elyasaf_Rubinstein8068: "the tool has become completely non-functional. It is unable to remove anything, even small and simple objects. Instead, it frequently creates a strange cloud or shadow in the background of the object or blurs it without completely removing it, leaving a 'ghostly' remnant. "

Two typical causes of this:

1. The Opacity slider might be set to less than 100. (The slider only appears after clicking Remove.) Sometimes the user accidentally changes the slider, and sometimes LR appears to change it by itself.

2. Applying Remove on top of an AI mask, e.g. Sky. Do the menu command Settings > Update Ai Settings to recompute the mask.

If that 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.

@Fran38403119vd93: "I have the problem that when I edit a photo and use masks and generative AI, the settings are not saved. It always sends an update so that the edit appears again."

See if this helps:

@startbov999: "I have to move to photoshop which works perfectly then return to lightroom. Definitely a pain. Lightroom remove just replaces with another object."

If the object is on the edge of the photo and PS removes it easily, that usually indicates you're applying Remove on top of cropping -- Remove tries to match the unselected, cropped-out pixels.  Undo any Crop, Transform, and Lens Correction settings, apply Remove, then redo those settings.

@defaultpk4d8i53s5q1: "I've been getting this weird outline or difference in tone. "

Generative Remove sometimes doesn't do a good job of matching the tone of uniform backgrounds. See this post for how to blend the boundary using the healing brush:
