Question

Reflections removal not working in LrC but fine in Camera Raw

  • April 29, 2026

In the attached raw image (and many other similar ones) shot from behind a window, there are evident reflections. The reflections removal tool in LrC leaves it essentially unaltered (only slightly darkened) while the corresponding tool in Camera Raw appears to do a fine job of cleaning it. The attached file is a jpeg rendition because the RAF file is too big.

I am working on a iMac M4 running macOS Tahoe 26.4.1, LrC 15.3, Camera Raw 18.3

Does anyone have an explanation for this? Does the case need to be brought to Adobe’s attention?

    @Francesco6C19 can you also post the LR System Info for the M1 and the PS System Info for the M4?

     

    If we can’t figure out how to give instructions to Adobe to reproduce this, they very likely won’t pay attention unless many people report the problem . (Unfortunately, two reports don’t count as “many”.)

    Following is the LrC system info on the M1. I’m currently away from the iMac so I’ll only be able to post the info for that next week.

    The story is more complicated than appeared at first sight. I now tried exactly the same process on a different hardware (MacBook Pro M1) and neither LrC nor ACR remove those reflections. I do hope Adobe will look into this, or at least give an explanation as to why this happens.

    I noticed the same bug a while ago and posted here: 

    As far as I can tell, Adobe has not acknowledged nor corrected this bug.,

    Funny Camera Raw 18.3 (Best) worked for me. I tried LrC both with and without GPU

    Hmm, neither my LR (15.3) nor PS / Camera Raw (18.3) removed the reflections from that raw. In Photoshop, please do the menu command Help > System Info and copy/paste the results here. Then repeat for LR.  That might give some insight in the difference in behavior we’re observing.

    The forum converted your JPEG to Webp, and LR did a good job of removing the reflections.

     

    Given that Camera Raw removes the reflections from the original raw but LR does not, that definitely indicates what Adobe would consider a “bug” (not working as designed), rather than an imperfection in an AI algorithm (which every application of AI has). (LR uses the Camera Raw engine.)

     

    Adobe won’t consider it a bug unless they can reproduce it. So upload the raw to Wetransfer, Dropbox, Google Drive or similar free service and post the sharing link here.

    Thank you for your prompt reply and help. Here’s the link:

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Re6FxkW-ZblzY9J1NFD-jNgRdAsF4eGC/view?usp=share_link

    I forgot to say that in each case I used the “Best” option for removal.

    Do I need to do anything else?
