AI-powered Generative Remove performed extremely poorly for me. Removing a pretty simple, very linear brick wall from the lower left corner of an image (with uniformly textured green grass sorrounding it) should have been an easy task, even without AI. However, applying the AI Generative Remove was a complete disaster (result looked more like a very crude, early-2000s rendition of clone/heal brush). I tried every available option and adjustment, all without success. Very disappointing performance, especially given the animated GIF marketing snippet that accompanies the AI Generative Remove feature, which depicts three [very deceptively] impressive results. While I appreciate being able to "beta test" this feature, regrettably, it has a long way to go before it's ready for release.

Your photo very possibly has cropped out pixels on the edge next to the brick wall, due to Crop, Transform, or Lens Corrections. Remove looks at all the pixels of the photo and tries to match those cropped-out pixels. Disable Crop, Transform, and Lens Corrections before doing Remove.
If that doesn't help, see this article for how to remove objects more reliably:

Most complaints about Remove are addressed in the article. But if that still 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.

on some objects it works really well, on others a little less but it's a big step forward compared to the previous removal tool, however I still prefer the spot healing brush from ps

They key to me is in the name where I expect a remove not a replace. On abot 50% of ocassions some random 'stuff' gets inserted and have no idea where this has come from. Get the same in photoshop. On other occasions one does get a very good remove. Where there is a lot of plain background a good results is very common and some times on a complex background. But replace seems to be a somewhat random event and pressing refresh seems to make little difference, just get a load more different 'stuff' not a element of neutral background!

Dear Adobe...
NEVER EVER is it appropriate to replace someone's hand with a gun. Do better.

Removing an object means painting over it, its shadow, its reflection, and any non-contiguous pieces. If you leave behind a shadow, a reflection, or a disconnected piece (e.g., a hand on a shoulder), the AI will attempt to create something to cast the shadow, reflect, or complete the unbrushed discontinuous item. You can avoid these issue by following the guidance provided in this linked tutorial.

Lightroom: If I want to delete a person or a part of a person Lightroom often places new persons in the picture even if i I try again. I don't see why I should want a new person but it would be nice that at least one of the suggestions is without a person. I think Photoshop does a better job even without instruction ( at least if you try several times, but in Lightroom new people keep coming back)

Hands down this is a game CHANGER! It took this masterpiece bird photo and removed a significant tree limb encroaching on the subject. I CAN'T even tell where the branch was loacted. 80 to 90% of the time it gets the correction I'm looking for right the first time. Can't thank you enough!

the remove tool works pretty decent when an object has to be removed from te center of the image. but when you want to remove an object that is on the border, it never works. It would be great if this can be implemented better. because a lot of times I want to remove objects that are partially in the frame.

This happens when there are pixels that have been cropped out due to Crop, Lens Corrections, or Transform. Remove looks at all the pixels of the photo and is generating a replacement that matches those cropped-out pixels. Apply Remove first before those cropping commands.

Worked great to remove a blown out cloud and fill it in to blend with the other clouds!

When removing abjects against a clear, equally colored background (eg a blue sky), it does often not match the present color so the slightly different replaced color stands out against the original color of the background

excuse me, please ignore my earlier comment, as when creating a mask by auto selecting Sky before removing objects AND using inverted mask of that same sky, again before removing objects, I now understand that all earlier edits counted towards the inverted mask, as at that given moment they were not (yet) part of the Sky.
Now when I changed my sequence on this, removing objects, then selecting Sky and next using and inverted mask for Sky, it is all looking great!

Sweet lord the remove algorithm is so bad.
Absolutely never works properly even for the simplest tasks (speaking removing a yellow ball in a contrasty background, or a tiny black corner against a blue sky). Just put the photoshop remove algorithm instead because Lightroom's sucks.

I use generative remove to quickly click through deleting dust specks in the sky when shooting at f/16+. Going from photo to photo, it's fastest to copy edit settings (just Remove) and paste to the next photo. However, sometimes spots that were previously in the sky are now on a mountain or trees, where I don't want to have a Remove spot. To get rid of these, I have to click on each one and hit the delete button. It would be nice to multi-select or use a lasso or box selector to quickly select all of the pasted Removes I don't want and get rid of them.
OR if I could suggest an AI-powered dust removal feature. Have an algorithm look for circular, slightly off-color dots in the sky or something, idk that's up to you to figure out 🙂

I like to use this feature to delete people from my photos. However, it often wants to replace the people with one or more birds. I don't want to invent birds, I just want to fill in the background. I also have problems when deleting people with sky in the background. The AI generated replacement sky doesn't quite match the color/tone of the sky, so that I can still see the area that was cut out. The healing brush does a much better job of matching the color/tone of the surroundings.
