The Lightroom team is sharing an early look at Generative Remove, which makes it easier to remove unwanted objects and distractions, even on complex backgrounds, with a simple brush stroke. Generative Remove is powered by Firefly AI.
 
How to use Generative Remove on a desktop:

  • You can find Generative Remove under the newly renamed Remove panel (aka “Heal”).
  • Make sure the “generative AI” checkbox is enabled before you start brushing (note: when unchecked, Lightroom will use Content-Aware Remove to fill your brushed spots). 
  • By default, you will be given a moment to refine your selection with an add or subtract brush. Remember to include shadows for a more accurate result! You can also skip this step by holding down ‘CTRL’ on windows or ‘CMD’ on mac as you finish your brush stroke. 
  • Once you’re ready to apply and have accepted the terms, Generative Remove will use Firefly AI to remove your distractions and intelligently fill in the space that’s left by the removed objects. 
  • Note: stable internet connection is required to use this feature.
  • Generative Remove also lets you choose from multiple variations, so you can pick the one you like best, giving you full creative control. 

    Checkout the FAQ and Best Practices
 
Please give it a try and share feedback and/or report variations in this community forum. It would greatly help to include details like which app you are using (i.e., Lightroom Classic or Camera Raw) and other system details. Our team will continually monitor this thread to track issues to improve the future experience.

Update:
Here are some tips if you are having issues with the feature replacing your object instead of removing it. 
  • Enlarge your selection - if your brush stroke is too tight, you will have unexpected results.
  • Remember that 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. https://www.lightroomqueen.com/generative-remove-replace

 

The recommended order for applying edits is:

 

  1. Denoise 
  2. Heal (includes Generative AI Remove)
  3. Crop (includes traditional Cropping, Lens Correction, Transform, or any operation changing the geometry of the image)
  4. Global Edits
  5. AI Selective edits (Sky, Person, etc)

    If you deviate from that, you may see the removed object remain as a ghost image. If this occurs, you will have to use Update AI Settings, which can be found under the Develop module 'Settings' menu.

Excellent feature! Recommend the ability to point the tool at another reference image. E.g. a series of photos taken of a street scene where you want to remove a vehicle. If you could point the tool at another photo where the vehicle has moved slightly, this would help in the creation of a more accurate background. Would be especially useful where there is text that is partially obscured by the object you wish to remove.

Me gusta mucho porque facilita la edición. Lo que me ha empezado a pasar y que no sé si tiene que ver con esta actualización, es que en las máscaras no detecta sujetos ni cielos cuando concretamente los sujetos son más que evidentes.

I had high hopes but I am finding it pretty useless and I pretty much will have to keep going into PS to actually remove objects.

Hola, actualicé hoy Lightroom con gran expectativa, y cuando intento aplicar la opción quitar para remover objetos o personas, no me funciona, en cambio me cambia (en mi caso) una persona que quería remover, por otra parecida, y me da tres opciones. Pero lo que quiero es eliminar esa persona u objeto. ¿Qué estoy haciendo mal?

Not bad. I like it. Removed an old man from a track meet I was photographing. Please ignore my wonky color correction on the right.

it would be nice to be able to complete images in a panorama for instance where often angles are to be cropped

It is possible in PS , why not as an option of panoramas in LRC?

You need to select the entire duck plus any shadows, reflections or projections. Be generous with you selection/mask.

 

Assuming that it was the duck in the background that you wanted to remove. As such, I've attached an example of what I produced by first selecting the back duck, reflections, etc. I removed the wake either side of the front left duck separately. Don't worry about clipping the nect of the front left duck when selectings/masking the wake. Note that I used only Generative Ai Remove by leaving Object Aware unchecked.

I like the quality of the generative corrections. Two areas to improve. 1) Copying the designated marks to other pictures (very helpful if you have sensor dust 🙂 2) Speed of application of the masks

Thank you so much for Generative Remove - I've been waiting for this feature! The beta version is already working very accurately. As feedback, here are two observations:
(1)
If the object to be removed with Generative Remove is at the edge of the photo or is clipped by the edge, then the object actually to be removed is included in the generative calculation - which is not what is wanted. When calculating the new pixels, only those surrounding pixels should be taken into account that do not belong to the object that is cropped by the edge of the image.
(2)
Sometimes Generative Remove calculates new objects into the image area to be cleaned up, e.g. a house facade or a pile of stones. As a rule, these new elements fit into the image quite well - but: the new elements are inserted without being adjusted to the scaling and/or perspective of the original image. For example: the original image was photographed with a perspective from the top right, but the inserted pile of stones is shown in a frontal view and the size of the stones does not correspond to the size of the stones in the original photo.

In my opinion, the main issue is that generated elements often don't match perfectly with the image in terms of noise level and texture. The same applies to generative fill in Photoshop.

It would be great to have an option in Lightroom to add an adjustable amount of noise to the generated elements to better blend them with the image. Alternatively, it would be ideal if the generated elements could automatically match the existing texture and noise level, eliminating the need for additional adjustments.

Cette nouvelle fonction n'est pas du tout au point,  aucune avancée pour ma part. Le trois fonctions précédentes , supprimer, corriger, dupliquer, étaient bien plus efficace. A faire évoluer impérativement.

" not at all perfect"

 

Rather than leaving the Development team guessing as to the issue you're having, it would be helpful if you described or shared a before/after screenshot showing an example of where Generative Remove failed.

Using the upgraded 13.3 in LrC and it seems the 'Object Aware' does not detect an object.  If I switch this off, the Gen AI can undertake a reasonable job, but with Object Aware switched on I keep getting an error message saying 'No object detected'.  The file attached is one example - I have also tried it on people, cars, and buildings - the same error is returned.

Hi,

 

I used the new generative remove some items from a few photo's in LR classic and thereafter imported my .nef and .xmp into LR cloud (generally used for remote access and back-up storage). However, in doing so, the generative remove edits made in LR classic did not transfer into LR cloud. Not sure what I could have done differently to maintain those............

I'm experiencing a similar behavior. I see the generative remove corrections in the cloud copy of the picture on my smartphone, but I cannot edit the picture with the LR app on the smartphone. I keep getting the error message, that the app is waiting on settings data from LR Classic.

My setup: LR Classic 13.3 on Mac Studio M1 with 14.5 Sonoma and LR App on a Samsung S23 Ultra.
