Question

Remove Distractions feature is altering other parts of my image

I'm using Generative AI with the Distraction Removal tool. I am selecting the snowman in the center of my image to remove, and it is removing it but also distorting the entire outer edge of the image. The edge distortion also increases every time I adjust anything else (i.e. the lantern) How do I avoid this happening? Pics below:

I have the exact same problem... Have you managed to find a way to solve this?

One solution does not fix all.

I suggest starting your own post instead of adding on to Christine's issue.

In that post, insert a screenshot and explain your particular issue.

Wow, did not expect a reply like this whatsoever, no thanks, I will stay away from this forum and try elsewhere instead...

I am wondering what your exact workflow is? I tried to duplicate your issue, but it just worked as it was supposed to.

You mention the Distraction Removal tool, but did you just mean the Remove Tool? Only Find Distractions would not be relevant in your example as the Ai would not identify your snowman as 'People'.

How did you have Mode set?

Was Sample all Layers turned on? Was this a layered document? If yes, then maybe adding a copy merged layer to the top of the stack (Shift Ctrl Alt E) and turning off Sample All Layers, might make a difference.

I looked back and yes, I'm using the Remove Tool. But the issue is still the same, I wanted to remove the snowman, and when I clicked the checkmark, it did remove the snowman but then messed up the edges of the image. I uploaded the images in order but they apparently didn't show up in the right order, which should be original image with snowman, then image with the snowman in pink, then no snowman with warped edges.

I just want to be able to remove the snowman or other elements without the edges, or anything else, being affected. Any ideas?

Did you look at my attachment, Christine, and read my question? My one-pass removal of the snowman didn't perturb the margins.

(adding) I would expect that only selected areas would be removed. In addition to the snowman, are other areas of the image pink/selected? Does your work image contain layers?

Interesting problem, Christine! I don't have much experience with using this tool.

What confused me a bit is that your screenshots were out of chronological order. It may not matter, but to me, the Remove tool is so far able to remove two distractions, Wires and Cables, and People. Okay, snowmen are people.

"Select Find distractions from the options bar. When people is chosen, a pink overlay will appear over the detected distractions which you can then refine further if needed. Commit the change to remove those distractions."

Have you tried the three modes? Auto, Generative AI on, Generative AI off?

I downloaded your pic. When I selected People, Snowman wasn't automatically selected. I had to select, then commit. I am now trying a different tack -- creating a new layer, then checking the samlpe all layers box.

-- I think the key is not coloring inside the snowman, but to select more than you think you need. Here is my result. Let me know if you see perurbations in other areas of the scene. I made one pass; maybe subsequent passes are at the root of the problem.
