@PhotoInge: "When removing objects against a clear sky, the sky is darkened around where the objects was"
That can happen if you apply any of the Remove tools on top of an existing mask. In Develop, do Settings > Update AI Settings. In general, do Remove first, then create the mask.

Hi,
Love the feature, but...
Remove should be more of a ''remove'' thing than a ''replace'' thing.
The selection of remove areas isn't intuitive.
The results are very volatile (sometimes very good, sometimes pretty bad).
The general application of the generative removal tool should be more like in Photoshop, where you have more control over the affected areas.
Kind regards,

Hello, I'm new to using PS and LRC. I'd done some tests with the AI element suppression in PS and I'm delighted to see the function arrive in LRC. I generated a first time the choice N°2 was good but not perfect, I then updated and the 3 new proposals were not good, when I wanted to return to the proposal N°2 of the first generation that was not possible whereas one can baculate in PS. Did I make a mistake? If not, it would be nice to be able to go back to the previous generated version.
Thank you Corinne

The command Edit > Undo will back up to the previous version. See the attached screen recording for an example.

Really an amazing addition! I find myself using it al the time and I'n pleasantly surprized by it's accuracy. Bravo!

I have the same issue as many do, it doesn't remove, just replaces with similar object. I end up going to PS to use it there. For me it has been completely unusable. Hopefully all this helps. Will be nice when it works like PS. Which is amazing.

It seems Adobe erred in naming it 'erase', maybe'replace' would be better

See this article for how to remove instead of replace:

If that doesn't help, attach a problem photo here or upload it to Dropbox, Google Drive, or similar and post the sharing link here, calling out which object you're having trouble with.

This is my new favorite tool in Lightroom! The only strange issue I've encountered is when I try to remove people - sometimes the original person is replaced with another person. I did discover that removing the shadow is important to avoid replacing one person for another.

Right -- this article covers that and other tips for doing remove instead of replace:

It doesn't work. I've stopped even trying to use it.

"It doesn't work" really does not help anyone. The purpose of 'Easy Access' and this thread is to provide meaningful feedback that the Development team can work to address in the final version. Maybe you can be more specific about what doesn't work by describing your results, etc.
As an aid and based on previous feedback, you may find below linked tutorial helpful.

@Susan22949128oi72, if by "doesn't work", you mean that it replaces a selected object with other versions of the object, then see this article for how to remove rather than replace objects:
https://www.lightroomqueen.com/generative-remove-replace/
If you mean something else, please attach full-resolution screenshots of the entire LR window (not phone pics) showing what you've selected and what the result is.

I been trying to remove this chair from the corner of my image, but its just reduced the size of the chair leg, and i have done like 10 generations to remove this tiny bit of left over chair leg at the edge of the image and it just wont remove it.. so now i will have to export the image and remove it in photoshop

And photoshop removed the left over chair leg with the remove tool in 2 seconds flat. And the generative fill on photoshop also works wayyy better at removing stuff than the generative ai remove tool on lightroom. I hope this is not eating up my generate credits because i am going to be screwed soon at this rate.

Generative AI is currently 'Early Access'. Adobe have already stated that while credits are counted in your allocation, there is no cost.

@B B Photographer: "I been trying to remove this chair from the corner of my image, but its just reduced the size of the chair leg ... And photoshop removed the left over chair leg with the remove tool in 2 seconds flat."
It sounds like parts of the chair were cropped out either by an explicit Crop or an implicit crop by enabled lens corrections or the Transform tool. LR Remove works on the entire uncropped image, and if you don't select the entire object (because parts of it are cropped out), the Generative AI will try to match the uncropped-out portions (which is what it should do). So the general rule is to apply Remove to uncropped images with lens corrections and Transform disabled, then apply Crop, Lens Corrections, and Transform.
When you send an image with cropped pixels to Photoshop, those pixels get rendered away and Photoshop Remove doesn't see them, so it doesn't try to match them.
If this doesn't help, attach the original photo (not an export or screenshot) here, or if the forum doesn't allow you, upload it to Dropbox, Google Drive, or similar and post the sharing link here. You can see a number of posts from users who insisted Remove didn't work who then posted their images, and Remove immediately worked after following the instructions here:

At this point I have quit using it and just go into PS. I am not even having luck with small things.

I am completely blown away with the new AI removal tool. It is so accurate! I've been editing a beach scene with some unwanted objects included in the shot. The new tool removed them perfectly, first time for each and every one including some larger objects on pebbles. Very impressed and a great addition to the LrC system.

Personally not a fan of this new update. Bring back the old brush please.

The three older tools, which collectively used to be called "Healing", are still available. From left to right are Content-Aware (now called Remove, uncheck Generative AI and Object Aware to get the old Content-Aware functionality), Heal, and Clone:
