P: Generative Remove Feedback (Lr Classic & Lr Eco)

@cdquint: "AI generative remove doesn't seem to work well when there are multiple items to be removed."

In general, Remove doesn't have such problems. What's going on in your case is hard to say without seeing the unmodified photo. 

See this article for how to remove objects more reliably:

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 (not a screenshot), 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.

@Rhonda22756048lpmw: "Rather than removing a person who should not be there, it's putting in a new and random person."

@WalterD Madrid: "I try to remove a simple pole that crosses the sky or eliminate a cap that sticks out with the ground background, let's say easy to eliminate, and it offers me pole or cap models, but it doesn't eliminate them."

Using your attached JPEG exported from the raw, I was able to quickly remove the powerline, the pole, and the cap in the corner:

Things to check:

1. I deselected Detect Objects. It doesn't work very well, especially with skinny objects and objects touching the edges, failing to select all of the object and often making the border around the object (which is necessary) way too big.

2. The metadata for the two JPEGs indicates that you cropped the original raws. Remove looks at all the pixels in a photo, included those that are cropped out, and it's generating replacements that match those unselected cropped-out pixels.

Adobe wants you to remove first, then crop (which doesn't match many people's natural workflow). So undo the crop, do Remove, then crop again.

If that doesn't help, you could be tripping over an obscure bug ("as-designed" according to Adobe) in which for some cameras, like your a6400, the raw files have a hidden border of pixels that automatically get cropped out. It's easy to handle that too:

You don't encounter this issue in Photoshop because a) It's Object Finder doesn't find the pole, wire, or cap, so you have to select them manually, and b) Photoshop's destructive editing model doesn't have the notion of cropped-out pixels -- they're simply not there.

Most complaints about Remove are addressed in the article.

@X1Jogi: "Takes too long compared to stamping, e.g. to stamp away sensor spots (pollen, dust, ...). "

Adobe recommends you use the other Remove modes (Content-Aware, Heal, Clone) for correcting small spots.

@evalsky: "Generative remove was unable to remove flash reflection in a window, and when someone's ear was in the vicinity, it made us look like elves."

It sounds like you may have had checked the Detect Objects selection, which often makes the selection too big. Uncheck it and then select just the flash with a smaller border around the flash that doesn't include human parts.

@eXecutiveHippie Adobe censorship is kicking in.

Whenever there is some skin showing in the image (e.g. woman in bikini) then Adobe Ai thinks we want to generate p*** or nudity content.

Both legal in many countries especially the latter.

I want to make an example.

Female model wearing lingerie (lingerie job)

I try to remove a scratch ON THE BACKGROUND so not the model's body NOR what she is wearing.

Violation of guidelines!

It's nonsense and the same happens in Photoshop BUT in Photoshop it can be done with a simple workaround.

There is a way to bypass this nonsensee in LrC but you need to use a Plug-in (not because it allows illecit content OR hijacks the system) but becausee it allows to work properly with Remove.

@Blue Baron II: "I want to remove one of the generative replacements that I did. but it will not go away.  I right click on the idon and chose remove, but nothing happens."

That right-click menu is confusing. Select Delete, not Remove, to get rid of the chosen instance of Remove.

Adobe made some very confusing choices for the names of the command and its various modes (precision naming hasn't been their forte). The overall tool is called "Remove", and it's various modes are called "Remove" (the old content-aware), "Generative Remove" (aka Generative AI Remove), "Heal", and "Clone".   The first four menu items in that right-click context menu let you change the mode of the existing Remove tool selection, e.g. from Generative Remove to content-aware non-generative Remove.
