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

Adobe Employee ,
Aug 13, 2024 Aug 13, 2024

Copy link to clipboard

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!
 
Lisa Ngo: Lightroom Product Manager

Hey Adobe, do we need to remind you that we are paying for the software, and you've made no customer support available other than this useless forum? Fix it now!

I'm encountering a recurring problem when using Generative Erase in an area that is predominately in an area of sky.  About 50% of the time, I get results that are darker than the surrounding sky.  And if this happens, all the variations are the same way.  Has anyone encountered this?  As a note, there are masks applied - one of which was a smart mask - though I am not sure if there is correlation or causation between the two.  This isn't a matter of needing to refesh the mask, though sometimes that is needed when you remove something throguh generative erase that was modified by a smart mask.     ALC 14.0 - PC - Windows 10.

By Adobe's design, you should apply Removes before AI masks. If you apply Removes after the masks (a more natural workflow for most people), you often end up with these "holes".  In that case, you can usually fix the issue by doing Settings > Update AI Settings. 

 

But if it doesn't help, please attach a full-resolution JPEG exported from the unmodified original photo, so we and Adobe can see the issue in detail. In less common cases, Remove sometimes doesn't do a good job of matching sky color.

The remove tool is much worst in the new version. I don't want to generate anything, just remove small details from my images. The results are getting worse on every new version. I have to edit all my images in Photoshop and use the patch tool.

I just got the latest update.  14.0 Release,  Camera Raw 17.0.  Generative Remove does not work.  I uninstalled LrC and installed from scratch again.  Nothing.  I tried the same in both Lr and Ps ( CameraRaw there ) and that worked just fine.

It does a nice job of blowing up and crashing Lightroom, 

 

Is this the expected results?

 

Is this a beta release? Should I be getting a refund?

@iBcampion: "crashing Lightroom"

 

First, update your graphics driver by going directly to the manufacturer's web site:

https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/troubleshoot-gpu.html#solution-4

 

If LR is still crashing, make sure you've submitted a crash report to Adobe and entered the email address associated with your Adobe Id. Then start a new thread with the details of what you were doing when LR crashed, and include a copy of the entire output from the menu command Help > System Info.

Hi, I have a problem with the new update, some very strange things have happened to me. I had some files that I had already edited with the previous version, using the remove tool. Well, with the new version it asks me to update each file where I used that tool. I do it, but after a few clicks on other photos, they return to their initial state. That is, I can't get the changes made with the previous version to be fixed with the new version.

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, 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.

Hello,

To be honest the previous version of the AI gen removal was much better, I am struggling to remove objects now that I was very easily able to remove previously, I think the biggest issue I am facing is the object detection feature, now its auto selecting a very large areas and if I try to subtract the area it not letting me do that.

I am sorry but the new Gen AI removal is pretty bad, I would rather go back to the old version while not perfect was 100 times better than what it is now.

Adobe just released LR 14.0.1 to fix this bug, and after updating, you may have to re-upgrade your LR 13 catalog. See here for details:

@Bruce-Wayne: "What about edits made since the catalog upgrade, that would be lost if user went back to the previous catalog?"

 

At the bottom of Adobe employee Rikk Flohr's second post in that thread, he says, "Note: If you did a lot of work in 14.0, it isn't recommended to restore from the 13.x backup." So that suggests that if you've done work in 14.0, then install 14.0.1 and see if the issue goes away. If it doesn't, only then redo the upgrade from LR 13 (losing work you've done in 14.0).

I have been using the Beta Version of Generative Remove for a few months, editing my pictures from Italy and have had about 90% success with it.  Now I have been using the upgrade version for a couple of days and have had about 99% success!  It's probably one of the best enhancemants to Lightroom Classic in years.  Looking forward to more AI tools.

BTW - I now shoot exclusively with Apple ProRAW on my iPhone 14 Pro Max.  I leave my DSLR at home now when on vacation and I am totally happy with the results after I put them through Lightroom.

@pierre_cristina1476: "No longer works, replaces selection with the same selected area"

 

Make sure the Opacity slider is set to 100:

JohnREllis_0-1729182078265.png

 

You'll have to make at least one brush stroke to see the slider. 

 

If that doesn't help, please describe in detail the steps you're taking and what you observe.
