- 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.

Update (Dec 2024): With the new release, it is no longer necessary to perform Generative Remove Operations prior to Cropping.
Update:
- 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 issues by following the guidance provided in this linked tutorial. https://www.lightroomqueen.com/generative-remove-replace
The recommended order for applying edits is:
- Denoise
- Heal (includes Generative AI Remove)
- Crop (includes traditional Cropping, Lens Correction, Transform, or any operation changing the geometry of the image, including round-tripping to PS to use Gen-Expand)
- Global Edits
- 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.

Bonjour, je rencontre un bug quand j'efface avec l'I.A un bateau sous Lightroom. Je vous joint les photos. En effet, il reste comme une impression fantôme.
Merci d'avance

@Art Pictures LC: "it remains like a ghost print."
Two possible causes:
1. You applied Remove on top of existing AI mask. Do Settings > Update AI settings to recompute the AI mask. In general, Adobe recommends applying Remove first, then masking.
2. The Opacity slider is set less than 100:

I see that Remove has also generated a wake under the boat:
It's matching the wake behind the boat, which you didn't include in your selection. In general, to remove an object, you need to select any associated shadows, reflections, and things like wakes.

It's annoyingly insistent on not removing objects, instead it just replaces it with similar objects (i.e. people for other people).

@Sergio252963475j0h: "it just replaces it with similar objects (i.e. people for other people)."
See this article for how to remove objects more reliably:

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, so we and Adobe can see the issue in detail.
