Glad you resolved the issue with Opacity getting set to 1. There have been a few reports about that here, clearly an issue with the Remove beta user interface.

Have had issues with Generative AI selecting an area outside the photo, leading to either no replacement, or a gray patch over the selected area. When trying to select a corner that has vignetting from a filter that gets in the way (Yes I have tried all of the "Ultra Thin" filters, this lens always gives a vignette with any filter on it.), the results are minimal or LR selects an area outside the box as described above. Cannot move the selection inside to the actual photo, and switching to another form of Remove yields the same results. Have to delete the selection and reselect with the new tool.

Can you please attach a full-resolution JPEG exported from the original unmodified photo, along with a full-resolution screenshot (not a phone pic) showing the gray patch?

I am assuming that this forum is where the Devs want us to comment on where things didn't work as desired. In no way am i trying to come across as some Guru. I did steps 1-4 of your suggestion somewhat naturally, but I don't know what "5. AI selective edits" means.
-Opinion- So I have found that treating an area of my photo with this tool works best when only dotting the removal. Which is the preferred method when dealing with skin blemishes in my opinion. -Bad- I noticed when I use the tool in a brushing movement, for things like the exccessive amount of wrinkle line in the neck as the model is rotating their head to look beyond their shoulder, it seems like it is just using the cloning brush. I notice the corrections the most when I use my zoom function to check how sharp my picture is. I have tried large brush stroke, tight brush stroke, tried short brush strokes. I only tried to remove one wrinkle line at a time. And I wasn't removing all the wrinkles, just the excessive ones so deviation of my shadows stepped down nicely from one wrinkle line to the next. So after all those different methods, brushing the removal tool is not ideal.
-Great- So dotting skin bemishes, white heads, blackheads, irritated hair folicules works exceptionaly well. I like how I don't have to make the sample area the exact size of the blemish but I can dot an area, sometimes handling 3-5 blemishes well within the sample area.
-Bad in some coding or whatever- As I was dotting and Adobe would flash the analyzing text over the picture, it would blink my program off the desktop or the desktop would blink through my adobe. Very distracting and annoying. Would happen within 10 clicks and sometimes would happen back to back up to 3 clicks.
I'll update on this same post as I work more with it.

Have found it effective generally, but difficult at the edge of frame. Most recently, tried to remove a small patch of stray, thin tree branches from the edge of frame but with several attempts was unable to remove them completely. The tool kept retaining some of the branches. It got close on one occasion so I will keep trying, but the software clearly didn't want to remove them all. It's still a great tool though.

Have you applied Crop, Lens Correction, or Transform? If so, disable those before using Remove, which tries to match the pixels that have been cropped out. See here for more details:

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 and let us know which precise camera model, 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 remove the desired objects.

John, I will try that, it makes sense. Thank you for the response.

It may have been said in this forum, but it needs saying again. This is an amazing feature in "Early Access" and many of us appreciate the opportunity to provide feedback. I for one am very confident that most of the challenges will get resolved, but it's not always going to be a simple task to produce the results we want. I for one want that challenge.

Hi. I have used this new feature with amazing results but today, no matter what I do I continue to get a dark outline of the area selected. It is one of the easiest objects I have tried to remove but for some reason not today. You can see the area selected outline infont of the bird's beak & I have tried to include the bird on the branch above too just to see ifthe outline will go away but it doesn't.

Do you have an AI mask (e.g. Background) applied to that area? If so, then do Settings > Update AI Settings.
If not, there have been several reports here about the replacements not getting matched well with the background, leaving this kind of outline or difference in texture. Using a larger, more raggedy selection has avoided the the problem in the other examples:
If this doesn't help, please attach a full-resolution JPEG exported from the original unmodified photo.

Girar a imagem antes de usar o pincel de ajuste faz com que ele fique do lado oposto na hora de usar.

It took me a few minutes to get used to this tool. It did exactly what I wanted it to do.

I had a great day yesterday using Generative AI. I purposively took photos where I would have to remove objects but still wanted the background to look like it was in the scene. My biggest success was removing a side of car parked near the river. I was impressed with its removal and how the other bank that was covered up by the car looked like the car was never there.....Very, very impressive.
I took the advice of painting beyond the car and included all reflections and other artifacts. I used Generative AI Remove in the start of my workflow.

Tried to remove a brick wall on the side of my image hoping it would be replaced by bushes that surrounded the selection...it just kept generating different brick walls in all shapes and sizes.

Most instances of Remove "replacing" instead of "removing" can be fixed by following the tips in this article:

Overall this is working well for me. I too sometimes get wierd results but I find that changing the brush area helps, and sometimes I'll accept the results then redo the remove.
Suggestions:
1. I don't know if it's somethingwith my settings but using my enter key will not accept the 1st Variation. If I scroll through the Variations then my enter key will accept any version.
2. Being able to use the arrow keys to advance through the Variations would help with work flow.
Thanks!

Hello,
I would love it if the shortcut to Increase/Decrease the size of the heal brush by the brackets had the bug removed: it works only after it is adjusted at least once with the slider.
