As with all other updates you guys do screw up things that have been working perfectly before: this time it's generative remove that you've screwed.

Hi @srravi, thanks for reaching out. Could you share a few more details about the issue you're seeing with Generative Remove, and let us know which version of Lightroom you're using?

Thanks,
Alek

What happens is when you use generative fill it erases that part of the
image totally without any "generation" done leaving a dark place

Hi @srravi,

 

Thank you for sharing your system info and the details so far. To help us better understand, could you elaborate a bit more on the exact behavior you’re seeing with Generative Remove?

 

Also, just to check, is the issue you’re facing similar to the one reported here, where Generative Remove unexpectedly affects areas outside the painted mask?

Knowing whether your situation matches this logged bug (or if it’s a separate case) will help us direct it to the right team. A short screen recording would also be useful.

 

Thanks,

Anshul Saini
