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!

Occhio alle linee dell'orizzonte: se c'è un soggetto che la "interrompe" l'IA non riesce a calcolarne la continuità

I have noticed a positive change in the use of the AI remove tool. As mention before, I photograph acrobats and athletes and often AI remove would fail to work citing 'guidelines'. It was likely not good at seeing the difference between a gymanst in a leotard and, ... lets call it 'something else'.
I noticed a great improvement in that regard! It now lets me edit my photos and it does a great job adding fabric or fixing fabrics or blemishes. This a very welcome improvement and saves me a lot of time! Thank you!

I installed the latest update (October 2025) and now Generative AI isn't working.

We all agree. Uninstall version 14.5 using Creative Cloud and reinstall 14.4

Just give us the old healing brush or clone tool. NOBODY WANTS AI. GET USED TO IT.

For the benefit of future readers, the old tools are still there.

Currently getting a black box when performing Generative Remove. Just tried to remove a stray hair and this is what I got. Tried a few different times and it kept happening.. May need to update.

Do the menu command Help > System Info. If you're not on version 14.5.1 (the latest), then do Help > Updates.

If that doesn't help, then update your graphics driver by going directly to the manufacturer's web site, rather than relying on Windows Update or a manufacturer's update utility:

If that doesn't help, please copy/paste here the entire contents of the LR menu command Help > System Info -- that will let us see exactly which versions of hardware and software LR thinks you're running.

It would be great if this command could type commands like Photoshop.

Generative remove is leaving the area way too light and reflective

Your screenshot suggests you've applied Remove on top of an AI mask, e.g. Background. Look in the Develop tool bar -- is the AI Edit Status button yellow? If so, click it and you'll see:

Click Update to recompute the Background mask so the removed area matches the background.

Thank You! Will try this on my next edits!

At present the AI Remove tool is unusable for half of what I usually use it for. I use LR daily, and so do other editors I work with and we have all been dipleased with the latest updates to the AI Remove tool. It causes a number of issues between us and now takes us longer to edit. I frequently use it to remove stray hairs and frizzy hair. Lately when I make a selection, the tool reaches beyond my selection and replaces the friz I am trying to remove with different, chuncky looking friz, often full of weird looking pixelated discolored artifacts. There are other issues too with the regular remove tool just leaving burry blobs where it removes things, but I digress. What was once a quick task for me now takes way too long. Please roll back whateve you have done untill you can acctually improve it.

I can only agree with many of the comments here—unlike earlier versions, generative removal has become practically useless for my needs.

The main problem is that not only the marked areas are altered, but also large surrounding areas—often to the point of being “destroyed.” Everything just gets messed up. I’m attaching an example.

Sorry, Adobe, but this is simply unacceptable!
