P: Generative Remove Feedback (Camera Raw)

[Rikk Flohr: Photography]

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. 

Try out the latest updates and share your feedback with us here. Please also include the following details in your post:

• System details
• Example image(s) if you wish to share

Our team continually monitors this thread to track issues for future improvement. Thanks!

Generative remove and expand will often leave a "stain" on the image. The generated area differs in brightness and texture than the area in which it's supposed to blend. ACR 17.0. Mac running Sequoia 15.0.1. Nikon Z8 NEF images.

The first exmaple is using generative expand. The expanded sky is darker and noiser than the rest of the image. No other edits were applied to the image.

The second exmaple is using generative remove to remove a soft box in the lower left corner. Note the generated pavement is darker and "smoother."

This issue obvoiusly limits the usefullness of these features. Performing these actions in Photoshop works perfectly. The issue is within ACR.
