This post applies to Camera Raw.
Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Ecosystem feedback can be found here.
Previous Early Access Feedback can be found here.
 
Generative Remove makes it easier to remove unwanted objects and distractions with a simple gesture, even on complex backgrounds. For more accurate results, be sure to include the object's shadow in your selection and/or expand its size. 
 
Detect Objects uses AI to find the objects underneath a brushed area. The masked areas will now appear larger than the Early Access version of this feature. You can also circle objects for quicker selection now. 
 
We have also updated the spot selection experience to make it easier to manage variations, switch the fill type, refine the selection area, or re-generate as needed. 
 
Batch updating is also now supported for Generative Remove spots. 

As Generative AI analyzes portions of the image that have been cropped out, Camera Raw has the ability to toggle Show Uncropped Image is now available to guide you in your Generative Remove selection.

Why doesn't distraction removal show up on my system? I work for the VA and we have people with reflections on there glasses I need to remove and don't have the time to do it the old way. I am updated and running the newest software.

Look in Camera Raw Preferences and check this box.

That said, refelection removal currently does not work for small reflections such as spectacles.

It would be great to be able to back track when using the remove tool.  Here's why: I somewhat successfully removed unwanted folds in a sweater worn by the subject that also needed a bit of a "tummy tuck", which I performed with the warp tool later in Photoshop. After finished, I noticed a few things on the sweater that I hadn't noticed previously.  Parts of the sweater "fix" were rendered blurry.  It would be great to be able to identify where the remove tool started doing that by being able to go back in its history step by step rather than having to start all over.  Thanks in advance.

Spot removal using generative AI is replacing the hot pixels with symbols?

just used for a construction image. i needed a photo of a wall but all the saftey features are more distracting than the wall. You'd never remove them in real life, as that's a hazard. So i had to take the photos and hope for the best in editing. I loaded it into bridge, then it opened in camera raw. i got the notif about the AI so i figured i'd try it. INCREDIBLE RESULTS. very coool to see. this could have taken me a while to do, getting all the gravel right and the angle of the ditch that is dug within the area i had to recreate. this got the angle right, got the gravel, even gave me 3 variations!!! i was gonna use the first one because i was so impressed, but the third added little scuffs on the ground, giving me a bit of a distraction from the maybe AI artifacts that will probably be in the photo upon further inspection. i havent ran through the whole outline in detail yet im for real just so impressed with this i had to give a positive review. ok ttyl

Apple Macbook M3, Camera Raw 17.2 Remove tool is dead slow. Using Erase it starts off ok, but then if you hacve a lot of spots to get rid of, it begins to pinwheel frequently slowing down my work until I can't do any more and have to wait for up to 10 minutes for it to finish all the spots. SOmetimes appearing to freeze with a white outline of an area selected. Pinwheeling is miserable. What is the problem here?

Hola buenas tardes, la eliminación generativa es muy mala, ya que si yo deseo eliminar, LO QUE QUIERO ES ELIMINAR! no que me aprezcan caras de unas personas inventadas y ademas deformadas. yo lo que deseo es ELIMINAR!
