Remove Tool leaves visible halo after recent update.

After the latest update of Lightroom Mobile, the “Remove” tool started leaving a visible halo or ghost outline even after export.

This never happened before — I’ve used the same tool with AI successfully many times, and now the exported image has an artifact. I’m editing JPEGs.

I already tried reinstalling the app, but it didn’t help.

Please investigate — this affects my workflow.

Did you use a sky mask? If Lightroom creates a sky mask, and there is an object in the sky, then that object is not selected as sky, so it will be a gap in the mask. If you then remove that object, the gap in the mask is still preset and causes this strange ghost object. The solution is simple: you need to update the mask.

i do not think that is just it. I was even guessing it might be cuz of some masks i had left. Nope, it is a technical issue. This had been happening since a long time and I had been ignoring. it is frustrating.
