Announcing a new feature now in Adobe Camera Raw (17.2) – Removal of Distracting People

Under the Remove dialog, under Distraction Removal, we have added an item called “People”.

This feature supports faster and easier detection and removal of distracting people in an image. It is offered as a Tech Preview in the Adobe Camera Raw Plugin-only and is available now. Please try it out and let us know what works well, what doesn’t work well, and anything that might improve the experience.

Thank you!

I used it to remove one person on a bridge, while not perfect the result was okay. Would be better if it worked like the object selection tool and you could hover and select.

It did not detect any of the people in the background of this RAW file.

Thanks for sharing your test images. I am not able to reproduce the issue on my end. All the persons are correctly dedetected when running on my MBP.

Are you running this on Windows? Please follow https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/acr-gpu-faq.html#update to keep your GPU driver current. That is most likely the reason that you don't get any meaningful result.

I am running this on an iMac - everything IP to date. I tried removing the people again and get the message "Unable to find distracting people in this image".

When the image is opened in PS, the Remove tool gets rid of the people very successfully.

Removed all the tourists and replaced them with some blurred faceless person...somewhat bizzare.

yes, today same situation.

Last saturday, LrC removed persons correctly and replaced them with correct surrounding.

Seems not stable...

I have a photo of the U.S. Capitol, one of a number of photos. There are lots of people in there. So this is a good test. It found a lot of people, great. But it has four key issues: (1) You can't adjust the Mask, so the nice couple I wanted to keep got grouped with others I wanted to remove and the choice is All of None in a group; (2) I took the photo from in front of the Capitol, with the reflecting pool there and it didn't consider their reflections in the water; (3) it identified a traffic cone as a person; and (4) it missed someone.

La rimozione delle persone è buona o abbastanza buona, dipende dalle immagini. Non sono evidenti le puntine per ripristinare quelle persone, che non voglio eliminare. In ogni caso, una volta evidenziate le persone si dovrebbe avere la possibilità di scegliere quali, aggiungendo o togliendo con un pennello.

I have tried this on multiple pictures with people in varying locations, it has failed badly.

In image one with the red GTO it got the guy behind the car with the hat on and not the people in the upright and left of the image.

In the image with the red antique Ford it gets the guy on the back left with the 'Indians' shirt and none of the rest of the people.

In the image from the church, it identifies the woman with the ponytail in the lower right corner and NO one else.

If you need these in RAW to run your own test, please let me know.

Curious as to a definition of distracting people. Tried out the new distraction removal feature on photos containing people ranging from a single person to a group of ten. Each time the program reports that it is unable to detect distracting people. The question is what is this feature aimed at for I haven't yet managed to find it?
