Great! I need that in real life: a banana removal tool. I need them removed from other peoples' hands.

This was so fast, a simple bit of retouching but used the wire detection and it worked first time...

Evening shot, so lighting fixed then bits of people etc removed... Some traces of them do remain so I think I would do a bit more manual work, this is using gen tools only

Mine simply doesn't work. I click on the 'Find Distractions' button, and no options appear. It's like the button is disabled.

Steps? I thought it was a fallen over retaining wall that someone had taken a chainsaw to. Has anyone seen CG Dream? Colin Smith did a (sponsored) video on it a few days ago, and it is pretty impressive. If you've seen this years's Sneaks, as well as checked out the new features in the major Photoshop update, you'll know they still pushing Firefly related features for all they are worth, but I can't help but think they are falling behind the competition. Perfect Blend looked interesting though, so PLEASE Adobe, make that one happen.
