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

@Manuel38407307rqw1: "I'm having problems with generative elimination, I can't use it, every time I use it I get this message"

That error corresponds to this LR English error message:

"$$$/Clio/StatusCode/HTTP/Forbidden=We've encountered an issue and can't 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.

Please post a full-resolution screenshot (not a phone pic) of the error message, and we can advise how to fix the issue.

@björnr38703033: "Since the newly taken images are ok, have they changed the limitations on nudity? If so, why doesnt the tool work on the older files?"

Adobe Firefly's "safety" filters, like all such AI filters (including Google Gemini), are imperfect. It's pretty clear that Adobe and the other platforms would rather have too many false positives than false negatives, for legal and political reasons. So it could very possibly be coincidence that some of your older photos still get flagged and some of the newer ones don't. We'd need to test a larger test set to know confidently.

@Donaldm2: " I selected with shift and select, but it did not select the line, but something in between (line nothing line nothing)."

It sounds like you've got Detect Objects selected. Uncheck it -- it doesn't work well, especially with skinny objects and near the photo edges.

"if i try to remove the lines 'normally' a white line remains. I expected a blue sky, like you get when removing a spot."

You're probably applying Remove on top of an AI mask, e.g. a Sky mask. Do Settings > Update AI Settings to recompute the mask.

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 everyone who has posted a problem photo, we've been able to show how to quickly remove the desired objects.

@Min E: "Lr cannot remove this simple distracting light on the edge of the frame."

Remove quickly removed it from your screenshot:

1. Uncheck Detect Objects before selecting the object. It doesn't work very well, especially with objects near an edge of the photo.

2. If you've applied Crop, Transform, or Lens Corrections, temporarily undo them, do the Remove, then reapply them. Remove tries to match the unselected, cropped-out pixels.

3. If you haven't applied one of those cropping commands and you're editing a raw, let us know the precise make and model of the camera and I can provide a simple technique.

Hold Alt/Option modifier and use arrow left/right to move the next or previous image when either Remove Panel or Masking Panel is open.
