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!

So, I’ve come to notice.

Generative Remove needs to work on improving its ‘correction ability’ AI software on identifying fabrics. The texture isn’t consistent and doesn’t match with the original fabric.

Generative Remove still doesn’t work reliably.

After years of feedback from users here and across the forums, I expected this to be resolved by now - especially since it worked back in 2024.

Please, take a look at that. I’d really appreciate it if this could finally be addressed, as it has a major impact on everyday workflow.

I am in desperate need of help! I edited 20-30 images in a larger set and used generative ai to remove trash and a few people in the background. The edits won’t “Stay” no matter what I do! I have hit update on each individual one etc… how can I fix this?!

Hi guys, I’m new here and don’t know if someone posted it already, bu please include a button to tell the AI engine what you are trying to remove. Like for example the most common element I try to erase is women hair like, static, wind, puffed up by moisture. Also the AI engine need to know the hair growth direction to avoid floating hair strands etc. Also, feet tracks in the sand too. Thnx

Bonjour,

L’outil de suppression générative est très utile mais aussi très frustrant car il créé régulièrement des artefacts, des dégradés de couleurs de mauvaises qualité, des générations de mauvaise qualité (pixelisées), voire des zones vertes… Ça fait plus d’un an que je l’utilise et que j’ai ces mêmes problèmes ! Je vous joins un aperçu des ces bugs.

Cela concerne surtout (et peut-être exclusivement ? je n’utilise cet outil que pour ça je crois...) mes photos d’architectures fusionnées HDR (empilement de 5 photos au préalable dans LrC puis retouche de la photo fusionnée en DNG).

Si vous avez une solution je suis preneur ! 🙏

I am getting quite frustrated with both masking and remove. It is now impossible to work on a photo that has lots of masking changes. For a while remove was working pretty good. And masking too.

Please do the LR menu command Help > System Info and copy/paste the entire contents here so we can see exactly which versions of hardware and software LR thinks you're running and important LR options that are set.

Im not real happy with the generative remove tool. was ok at some things in the beginning, but as it is learning it seems to be getting worse. I try to remove a car from a background, it will add back garbled pieces of some unrecognizable car. No matter how many variants or regenerations I try it will keep doing it. What’s worse, it that sometimes it will regenerate the same thing every 4th or 5th regeneration. This would indicate the “AI” isn’t AI at all. I frequently have the same issue with letters in signs or walls. The clone stamp tool with feather adjustment works better for me more times than not.

I totally agree. It has gotten much worse! And LRC slows to an unusable point when I am masking with lots of adds and subtracts. LR 15.2

First, I would like to say that this AI generative remove is super cool and helpful! Thank you for including this in Lightroom Classic.

Secondly, I would like to give feedback about the generative remove feature’s consistent struggle with one particular scenario that I encounter often. When I use it to remove tree limbs from a sky, it preserves a white silhouette of the tree limb in the sky. I’ve included a sample picture that makes this obvious. This happens every time for me. If any work could be done on fixing this, I would find it tremendously helpful.

Most likely you’re applying Remove on top of an AI mask (e.g. Background). See here for how to handle that:

I shoot a lot of events. Ever so often I get someone asking me if I can avoid posting any shots they are captured in. From the introduction of the generative AI removal tool, I was able to paint over a face and immediately get AI generated faces to replace the one I captured. Since 2 updates ago, I now hardly ever get a replacement face suggested, let alone that I can cycle through a series. Instead it now appears like the face and head are recognised as “noise” and they get completely removed. the AI engine simply generates a continuation of the back ground.
And tit has me quite unhappy...

I’m having hit-or-miss success with the generative AI remove tool. It seems to prefer to leave any white object (like a hospital bed) in place. I want it gone -- LRC wants it to stay. grrrr,,,,

If you’re applying Remove on top of an AI mask (e.g. Background), see here:

If that doesn’t help, please post a full-resolution screenshot (not a phone pic) of what the original photo and of the result after applying Remove.
