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!

The changes done in the current release DO NOT change the problematic situation with Remove.
Yes we can now apply remove even if the image is cropped BUT it doesn't work well.


Starting point.

Screenshot 2024-12-12 at 22.05.55.png

I paint the Gen Remove

Screenshot 2024-12-12 at 22.06.06.png


All works till now, I painted on the uncropped image.

Screenshot 2024-12-12 at 22.24.33.png

I then Crop the  image AND refresh the Gen Remove.

 

All seems good now as well...

Wrong!!!
Look at the hidden reality:


Screenshot 2024-12-12 at 22.13.46.png


When the full uncropped image is revealed I can see the Gen Remove left an horrible blob on the tree outside the crop, something that didn't  happen when I painted on the uncropped image BUT because we can't do "Show Uncropped Image" I can't see the poor result of the refresh so I am led to believe all was ok (but it was not the case)

 


• The reality is that at all times we must always see AND paint the remove on the entire image otherwise we leave out parts necessary for the Remove to be usable in all situations...so we need the option "Show Uncropped Image" in LrC like in ACR to properly paint usable remove AND judge its quality when we refresh.

Needless to say that painting a partial remove when the image is cropped delivers horrible partial results as the moment one changes the crop the remove must be redone/refined/completed.

@AkhileshS20: "my LR generative remove is not working at all."

 

Sometimes firewalls and anti-malware / anti-virus utilities incorrectly block some network requests from LR. Try these troubleshooting steps:

- Temporarily disable all the firewall / anti-malware on your computer. If that solves the problem, then add a specific exclusion for LR to the firewall's rules.

- Connect to another network, preferably one serviced by a different ISP. E.g. a Wifi connection of a neighbor, a coffee shop, work, or your phone's hotspot. Sometimes the routers in these networks block LR's requests, especially in authoritarian countries like China.

- On Mac, try relaunching the Finder -- start Finder, click the Finder menu, and do Quit Finder. Someone reported that this solved this problem for him.

To help others, please let us know which of these work and which don't.

What are the best ways to speed this up? Selecting the first couple of spots works, then it starts lagging massively, showing the little rotating circle until you can select the next area. Until this has finished rotating, there's no chance of doing anything. Also, the processing is significantly slower than in Photoshop. Almost twice as slow. I haven't touched it again after 10 minutes.

 

 Windows 10, 2xXeon something, 128 GB RAM, Quadro M5000, most recent version (can't check atm). This was slow before, but now it's also laggy

@Corniger: "What are the best ways to speed this up?"

 

Which mode of the Remove tool are you using?  Clone, Heal, Remove without Generative Remove selected (Content Aware), or Remove with Generative Remove selected?

Hello. I've read some of the contributions - particularly the one where the 'removal' of a human is replaced not removed. When I highlight someone to be removed, it is replaced with something that is not even human.:

How can I remove and not replace? I do not see an option. I am using Lightroom Classic release 14.1 and build 202412062302-d2b56666

Okay, I think I figured it out: I need to make a sweeping inclusion of the material around the subject to be removed. This time it worked. But you should have a health warning on this tool - I'm going to have nightmares for weeks.

@Nikon Z8: "I need to make a sweeping inclusion of the material around the subject to be removed."

 

Right. If you check the option Detect Objects, it will usually include enough border around the object to avoid this. (But beware that Detect Objects doesn't work well with skinny objects and near the edges of the photo.)

 

See this article for more tips on how to remove objects more reliably:

Hi,

While I love the AI feature, it is wonky. When I want to remove something, I want it comletely removed and not replaced with an alien.  This is okay but am waiting for the next versions.  It is still more work then it needs to be.
