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.

    Hey Rikk, great feature, kudos to the team. I found it actually very useful for my work (wedding photography). My feedback - for object detection I feel like the selection extension is too big. I wish there was option to scale it down, like a slider. In example below I don't want to AI generate part of Groom's back, so I had to manually substract. I wish there was more automatic detection of what's around.

    I also explained that in this video: https://youtu.be/9CPouI7wG7A?si=dWfGqnZ0qtMXn5uY

      Came here to complain about this as well. Its VERY VERY off. There needs to be an option to control the extention.

      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?

            Update:
            Here are some tips if you are having issues with the feature replacing your object instead of removing it. 
            • Enlarge your selection - if your brush stroke is too tight, you will have unexpected results.
            • Remember that removing an object means painting over it, its shadow, its reflection, and any non-contiguous pieces. If you leave behind a shadow, a reflection, or a disconnected piece (e.g., a hand on a shoulder), the AI will attempt to create something to cast the shadow, reflect, or complete the unbrushed discontinuous item. You can avoid these issue by following the guidance provided in this linked tutorial. https://www.lightroomqueen.com/generative-remove-replace

            OK thanks.  I didn't know about including the shadow of the object in the selection.  That helped but it still wasn't as good as PS.  Nice to know if I can't get the result I want in LrC, I can go over to PS and probably get what I want.

              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.

                  Chris, I am having the same issue

                   


                  Same here. Lightroom is not crashing but it gives me hard time with generative remove. Instead of removing objects, it changes them to AI variants of the same stuff, or random crap. In one photo it changed some guy in background to trashcan, in other to chair.

                  I see similar behavior in PS from time to time but you can write prompt for it to remove it properly.
