P: New AI-powered Generative Remove (Early Access) available across all surfaces.

Removing sensor spots used to be really easy, now it's become impossible to do it decently. Why does everything have to be AI when things worked really great before? Is this some marketing stuff to sell your product?

Rikk and Ian,

I appreciate your repeated advice about being sure to select "shadows, reflections or projections" in order for Generative AI to cleanly remove an object rather than replacing it with some other (typically random) object.

However, you're probably getting an accurate sense from numerous other messages here that for anything but the most basic removal tasks, the average Lightroom Classic user is not going to do this intuitively, and even if they do my experience so far has been that it's a roll of the dice as to whether G-AI actually removes the object or attempts to replace it.

I'd also propose that if G-AI is smart enough to detect shadows or other artifacts and to take that finding as a signal that it should go about the intensive process of generating a synthetic object to replace the one being removed, it should also be smart enough to instead expand the selection to include the artifact and to remove it along with the selected object.

I suggest (again) that the choice of whether to "remove" the object (replacing it with a plausible, synthetic background) or to "replace" the object with an AI-generated surrogate for the removed object should be an option available to the Lightroom Classic user.

Hi, in my cast the tool doesn´t work, when the green bar it stays on and doesn´t finish. In Photshop Beta it works alright.

That's my 2 cents about Lightroom Classi "removing" (do not remove anything) function....I'm trying to remove a bag of chips from an image...but it just generated other things...see images attached

Hello,

Works very well to suppress a bin in the background.

But trying to suppress :

- a person in the background : the IA replaces by another person

- a person's head in the foreground : the IA replaces by another head.

90% of the time I use this, I want to just remove the object and replace it with a better understanding of the background that the remove tool.  But this tool seems to constantly want to replace the object with a random other object that I have no say in.  Very strange.  

das generative Füllen in Lightroom habe ich getestet. Auf die Ergebnisse hab ich gar nicht erst gewartet. Habe nur eine ca 5 mm x 15 mm großen Bereich markiert (Baukran). Ich bin eine Etage tiefer gegangen und habe mir Kaffee geholt. Als ich wieder vor dem Rechner saß, war Lightroom immer noch nicht fertig  Nein, macht ihr euch keine freunde.

Schneller geht ist, wenn man mit Rechtsklick das bild in Photoshop öffnet, dort bearbeit und zu LR wieder speichert. Solange die Schnelligkeit fehlt meine Empfhelung: auf diese funktion verzichten!

funktioniert nicht!

Funciona muy bien, igual de bien que en photoshop. Es una cosa que veia necesaria en lightroom desde que empecé a usarla en photoshop. La única pega es que tarda muchisimo mas tiempo en procesarlo que en photoshop. Estaría bien que pudiese procesarlo en segundo plano mientras se hacen otras cosas en otras fotografias. 

I removed a pole with a sign in a rather difficult landscape and it worked perfect. Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
