P: Distraction Removal: People (CR & LrClassic)

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!

Peter Baust - Dir, Product Management

I'im really impressed!  I took a photo of a bunch of balloons at Disney but got the heads of several people in the way, The remove distraction feature captured and removed them cleanly

Did some testing. Works well on most photo's i tested but got also a result where Remove people in Camera Raw could not find distracting people while remove people in the Remove tool removed all of them perfectly.

I like these tech previews and they hold great promise for the future once properly optimized and with developing AI. Right now, I am working on some travel photos, and dust is a real problem. I love the Heal Tool (working in Lightroom Classic), but working with it manually is extremely slow, laggy and un-optimized on large panoramas, even on a very beefy system (RTX 4090, 64gb RAM). This is thus a feature request for 1) Optimizing the Heal Tool for large images 2) Using AI to automatically detect and remove dust spots as a Distraction Removal. This would be an amazing time saver, and more practical to me than people removal.

Не особо коректно работает эта функция. Не понятно почему когда на групповом фото есть явно отвлекающий объект в кадре, он его просто не находит. Это намного легче и быстрее сделать инструментом удаления выделяя вручную, так еще будет и 3 генеративного варианта выбора. Как по мне функция не особо нужна.

Очень бы хотелось чтобы когда нибудь добавили в Camera Raw инструмент пластика. Вот это действительно нужный инструмент.

I tried it today on several images, some with just one or two people and some with a lot of them. I got mixed results. On a picture of the Acropolis in Athens it removed around 12 people scattered around in front and did a good job. I found that if I opened a Raw file that had been previously edited in Lightroom and I had applied some masks to the people to adust their exposure it did nothing in Camera Raw, as if it didn't see them and they were front and center. Personally, I seldom use ACR so this new tool is not too important to me. My workflow starts with Lightroom and moves to Photoshop if necessary.

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.

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

Seems not stable...
