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:

After removal, ghost object is still visible even after masking update.

@samantha01010 Please post a full-resolution screenshot (not a phone pic) of the entire LR window in Develop, with the Remove panel open immediately after you’ve applied Remove. That should give important clues about what’s going wrong and perhaps how to fix it.

You haven’t upgraded to the .4 version (Lightroom Classic version 15.4).

Why in the world would you remove the Detect Objects feature in the remove tool when it was the best thing it had working? Now I’m back to a brush that doesn’t work well. Please put back the option to use the Detect Objects.

It’s still present in my LR Classic (Mac), LR Desktop (Mac), and LR Mobe (IOS):

Make sure you have the Remove mode selected -- Detect Objects isn’t available with the Heal or Clone modes.

If you’re still not seeing Detect Objects, please post a full-resolution screenshot (not a phone pic) of what you do see.

Hello, I´d like to recommend to focus on increasing quality on heal and generative remove when retouching skin… the replacement should work with subtle natural pores rather than weird lines that look like something chatgpt would do :(

Generative remove fails at even the most basic removal tasks. Just trying to remove this cone, for example, leaves a big blur, and several pieces of orange are left. I tried it four times on the first image, and each time got progressively worse. I tried a half dozen images, all with the same result. Fragments were left behind and the rest was visibly blurred. If I do the same thing with the healing brush tool in PS it will work.

As it stands this is 100% unusable.

Your screenshots and description suggest you may not have checked Use Generative AI. If so, then you are invoking the older Content-Aware Remove, which doesn’t work as well for larger objects and can leave blurs.

In my LR 15.4.1, Generative AI Remove does a good job removing the cone and sign in your screenshots. If you’re still getting the bad results with Use Generative AI checked, please attach here an original photo or, if it’s bigger than 47 MB, a full-resolution JPEG exported from the original, unedited photo. We can see if the issue is occurring in other installations.

You’re correct. once you check generative AI it’s much better. Thanks.

I do have another question. Does using this use up some sort of AI credit? Is there a limit to how many times you can use this in a month with the Adobe Suite plan?

When removing objects with the sky as background a ghost image remains.

Is the Ai Edit Status button in the upper-right yellow? If so, click it and do Update. That will recompute the sky mask to include the bits you removed.

I tend to get a ghosting effect when removing objects with the generative AI. This wasn’t always the case and has started happening recently in the last couple of months.

Such ghosting typically happens when you apply Remove on top of an existing AI mask. Click the yellow AI Edit Status button and then Update.

This is happening with only the AI remove. No other masking/remove applied.

Having trouble with a pretty simple remove. It’s a tree branch, basically a long twig, against an overcast sky. The branch has a small patch in the middle that is lighter than the rest of the branch. For some reason the light part in the middle persists as a bright streak after using Remove, Generative Remove, or Heal options. Even at 100% opacity it won’t go away.

I am trying REMOVE sign behind a person and it keeps REPLACING it with something similar. Very frustrating when it is called the REMOVE tool.

Very disappointed with this. Tried to remove a rock jetty sticking out into the water and no matter which of the tools I use, including clone and heal, none of them are doing a good job. Went back and removed denoise because I have noticed trying to remove things after having done that, I doesn’t work as well but it still didn’t matter, just left a very dark area where the rocks were removed.
