You're welcome. It's probably not mentioned because it's not "new" to this release. It happens with any of the Remove/Healing tools.

I am trying generative AI remove in Lightroom Classic. I want to remove a lamp and each time it just gives me a different lamp. It's worked pretty good so far until this!

@britsphotoco, see this article about how to remove rather than replace objects:
https://www.lightroomqueen.com/generative-remove-replace/
If that doesn't help, then upload the original photo, not a screenshot, to Dropbox, Google Drive, or similar and post the sharing link here.

I have used this new feature several times and find it promising. I see it as a quicker way to use AI while editing photos (vs flipping to photoshop). As others have mentioned, it lacks the dialog box to say "remove person and replace with brick wall...," tho I'm sure that feature will arrive at some point. Sometimes it works beautifully, other times not at all. Nonetheless, an amazing advancement for those of us who started in a B&W darkroom!

So far it looks excellent. Rarely do I have to move on to the further options. Brilliant!

I intended to remove a person from a picture and expected to have the backgroud replace the person, instead it created a new person, not related in anyway to the person removed. It made me laugh, but not what I was looking for. Resorted to stamping and content aware removal

@Sandra27974680578h, I had to extend the selection to include every last bit of the boat's reflections in the water, and then it worked well:
Including reflections and shadows is important for removing objects. See this help article for that and other tips:

Not necessarily to do with the Generative AI itself (which is brilliant) but in the module that opens for it and specifically the eye icon which toggles your edits on and off:
Long-clicking on the eye icon hides any editing you've done so you can see the before and after and releasing the mouse button shows the current version again - this is fine. However, single-clicking SHOULD lock the toggle on or off. At the moment, a single click releases the feature when you lift your finger too. Just a small thing but I think it would be quite handy. I'm sure this is how it worked before the Generative AI update.

Hold down Alt / Opt and toggles will appear that you can click to permanently turn the panel off/on. This change in the user interface for all eye icons was introduced in LR 12.3.

Hey John - thanks very much for pointing this out! Very handy (although I think the long click/ single click way worked fine before!)

As you can see on these screen shots. I've tried like 3 different times to remove the dark area on the grass on the left side and it's not doing it. This is just a small part of the original image. It's supposed to be a very easy thing for the AI but it's struggling to add grass instead of redoing the same dark area again and again.

@Luis Solivan, using the JPEG you posted, I was able to quickly replace the shadow with grass:
The three variants were all useful but somewhat different.
Some things to check, based on this article:
- Make sure you've got a generous boundary selected around what you want to remove/replace. In this example, including more of the in-focus grass tends to make the replacement more in focus, matching the rest of the grass.
- If you've got a crop applied, do Remove, then crop. The Remove command applies to the entire photo, included the cropped-out pixels.
- Similarly, if you have a lens profile applied in Lens Corrections, uncheck Enable Lens Profile, do Remove, then re-check Enable Lens Profile. (Lens Corrections can crop out lots of pixels on the edges of the photo.)
If this doesn't help, upload the original photo (not an export) to Dropbox, Google Drive, or similar, and post the sharing link here. Let us know how you get on.

When editing a rotated photo, the remove tool does not select the actual object that I want to remove. The highlighted area appears on another section of the image. As a work around, I've had to use the tool with the imported orientation view prior to any and all other edits.

LR has long had problems with rotation and local adjustments:
Many of the most common, egregious cases have been fixed. I'm not able to reproduce your symptoms in my configuration. Could you please upload an original photo (not an export or screenshot) showing the problem to Dropbox, Google Drive, or similar and post the sharing link here? I'd like to understand in detail what's going wrong.

If this is to replace the remove tool in Photoshop, I need it to simply remove the object - not offer multiple replacements. Is there a way to make it remove without offering replacements?

Seemed great until i went to export, all corrections were gone they all say "some remove settings need to be updated", so a days worth of editing is wasted... Very frustrating.

The corrections aren't gone -- LR has just decided the AI needs to be recomputed. Select the photos and in Library, do Photo > Develop Settings > Update AI Settings. Any photos that don't need updating will be skipped.

Garbage - removes nothing and all of the artifacts left by previous brush attempts just clog up the space. I pay $21.00 a month and this is what Adobe gives me. The instructions on the Adobe site are the usual clear as mud too.

@imikeh61: "I wanted to remove the yellow leaf and replace it with the white siding below but that simply didn't work."
With Object Aware checked, I selected the entire yellow leaf, and Remove added a boundary around it to the selection, resulting it in it being replaced by the white siding:

Is anybody else experiencing a slowdown in Lightroom Classic after installing the update with Generative Remove? I find it noticeably slower, but wondered whether it had anything to do with another program that linked to Lightroom (DXO Raw), that crashed on me and so I uninstalled it. I have however uninstalled and reinstalled LRC hoping to fix any software issues, but with no improvement in response times. Before I did the latest updated, LRC response time was fast. Thanks,
