Generative Remove manipulating lighting

Let's say I have finished color grading a specific photo, I then decide to use generative remove for whatever reason. Generative remove successfully removes the object I ask it to, but for some reason it also makes the photo brighter, seemingly increasing the highlights. This would be easy to fix if it was simply changing the sliders, you could simply paste the original grade to revert it. This is not the case, though, as the sliders remain at the same values prior to the removal, but the properties of the image visibly change. Adobe, please fix this as it has almost doubled my workflow duration and is unsustainable.

Hey @Katanaz_Dzns9369,

Welcome to the Lightroom Community! We’re glad you’re here, and we’re happy to help with any questions you have or any issues you’re running into.

 

To better understand what’s happening, could you share a screenshot of the issue you’re seeing? Sometimes, if images are edited before applying an AI edit, all settings may need to be updated. You can read more about that here: (https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/using/ai-edit-status.html).

Could you also let us know which version of Lightroom you’re using?

 

You can find this information by going to Help > System Info, then copying and pasting it into a text file to attach here. This will enable us to investigate the issue more thoroughly.
