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.

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

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

    Does not work. The old version would allow me to simply remove unwanted objects without trace. I have spent half an hour with the new version trying to remove a simple, unwanted bit of building from the edge of a picture. Regenerative AI keeps replacing it with something unwanted, heal keeps leaving a grey smuge. How can I get back to the old system that simply worked?

        LrC 14.0, MacOS 14.7

        Tried to use the Remove Object with the new version and it just keeps trying to replace the object with something else similar.  What am I missing?

          The Photoshop remove tool worked flawlessly.  Maybe I just have to go into PS to remove objects?

            I have same problem. I have Sony a7RV ARW format.  I follow the same workflow ( I did use remove before ) and the object is still there.  That was no shadow and I included everything.  Same workflow in both Lr and Ps works just fine.

            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.

            Ciao, con l'aggiornamento build 14 lo strumento rimozione è ingestibile: anche un piccolo punto da rimuovere lascia aloni chiari. Il pc rimane bloccato alcuni secondi (core i7 32gb ram, geforce 1070). Anche senza usare la ia generativa il sistema rallenta vistosamente. Spero un una patch correttiva. Saluti.

              La nueva version de remover en Lightroom empeoro considerablemente, la version anterior daba resultados mas realistas y entendia que tenia q borrar un objeto o fondo, en la version actual en lugar de remover el objeto o el fondo, lo reemplaza por algo similar y con una calidad muy artificial.

                @luckbuch: "In the current version, instead of removing the object or background, it replaces it with something similar and with a very artificial quality."

                 

                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.
