Question

Generative Remove does not complete brush stroke before it begins "analyzing"

I'm new to Lightroom and just started using Generative AI. It was going great at first, I was able to successfully remove cars, signs - then it started behaving strangely and not working properly. I have Generative AI and Object Detect checked.

 

Basically the behavior is this, when I start drawing a mask, instead of rendering a red mask I get a white outline of the brush stroke instead. It won't even allow me to continue along the entire object (in this case a power line), it just stops and then I get a black 'Analyzing' box. After that's done, the white outline transforms into a red mask - but it's much larger than my original brush stroke and very boxy. I tried to continue with my brush stroke along the object, it drew properly for awhile after that but it would delete the last portion on its own. I tried several times to redraw this last portion, but it deleted it every time. This last portion was the power line coming in front of a house, before that the sky was behind the power line. I then hit enter to see what would happen, to see if it would actually remove the object, but it didn't. The shape of it was changed somewhat, that's it. I tried the variations and none of them removed the power line either.

 

I have tried it with other objects, such as a garbage can, but I get the same problem.

Uncheck the 'Object Aware' option. Powerlines are not detectable objects for this tool. When you stop brushing before you have selected everything, Lightroom will start trying to detect an object, but fail. You also can't remove powerlines in parts, because Generative Remove will match the new pixels to the parts that are still there, so it will draw a new line. You have to select the entire line before you click Generate.
