This post applies to Lightroom Classic and the Lightroom Ecosystem products.
Camera Raw 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. 
 
Try out the latest updates and share your feedback with us here. Please also include the following details in your post: 
  • App version
  • System details
  • Example image(s) if you wish to share

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

Thank you, thank you, thank you!  The AI Generative Remove feature in the recent update is a Godsend.  The accuracy is significantly improved and, as expected, AI seems to be coming into it's own.  So glad that you are continually working on improvements such as this.  It really does improve our daily workflow. Thank you!!!!!

I followed created a new catalog and that seems to fix the problem.  Now need to figure out how to move files from old catalog to a new one, but that is something what I need to work on going forward.

Please post a full-resolution screenshot (not a phone pic) of the full error message.

Okay here is a picture of what it looks like on my screen I never used to have a problem with it before the update and nothing with my internet has changed but this comes up every 3 or 4th time I remove something now.

I just got update, v 14.0.1.  Remove still does not work.  Using Lr and Ps ( CameraRaw ) works fine.

Please provide more details about "does not work" -- what steps are you taking, what do you observe. Full-resolution screenshots (not phone pics) often clarify.  Most problems people are encountering are easily addressed, but there are still some bugs, so more details will help you and Adobe.

the generative remove feels like it's slower after the update and it keeps having errors saying to check your internet connection but my internet connection is fine I've been in the same place. Also, my editor sends me edited photos and I have to go through and press update on all of them and some of them just don't update or it takes so long its shorter for me to go through and re edit them myself. Also none of the masks that she did are showing up.

i have just updated to the latest LR and everytime i go back to a photo it asked me to update masks, and ai mask.

The remove function didn't come to an end. It's not possible, to remove anything without the KI - remove, KI is not marked. It's very unsatisfactory, can not work with this version.

See this article for how to remove objects more reliably:
https://www.lightroomqueen.com/generative-remove-replace/

Most complaints about Remove are addressed in the article. But if it doesn't help, please attach a full-resolution JPEG exported from the unmodified original photo, so we and Adobe can see the issue in detail. With nearly everyone who has posted a problem photo, we've been able to show how to quickly remove the desired objects.

Ne fonctionne plus, remplace la sélection par la même zone sélectionnée

@pierre_cristina1476: "No longer works, replaces selection with the same selected area"

 

Make sure the Opacity slider is set to 100:

 

You'll have to make at least one brush stroke to see the slider. 

 

If that doesn't help, please describe in detail the steps you're taking and what you observe.

I have been using the Beta Version of Generative Remove for a few months, editing my pictures from Italy and have had about 90% success with it.  Now I have been using the upgrade version for a couple of days and have had about 99% success!  It's probably one of the best enhancemants to Lightroom Classic in years.  Looking forward to more AI tools.

BTW - I now shoot exclusively with Apple ProRAW on my iPhone 14 Pro Max.  I leave my DSLR at home now when on vacation and I am totally happy with the results after I put them through Lightroom.
