Since I downloaded the latest version of LR CC (14.0.1) (Mac Studio - OS Sequoia v 15.0.1) the Remove tool is not working correctly. No matter which image I use the remove tool always leaves a faint image of the object. Even if I run the remove tool a second or third time the ghost image remains. Please fix this bug. Thanks.

My experience is that this will happen if you use the Remove tool on top of a mask.

Use the Remove tool first, then create the mask.

This is not a bug. Update the mask. You should see a red dot underneath the masking icon showing you that this is needed.

To explain what's happening: Let's suppose you made a sky mask to darken the sky a bit. There was a kite in the sky, so the mask does not include that kite: it will have a gap in the shape of the kite. Then you decide to remove the kite. The kite is now gone, but the gap in the mask is still there. That means that the gap where the kite used to be will not be darkened by the mask, and so you see a 'ghost kite'. Removing first solves this, updating the mask after you removed the kite will solve it too.

Well explained, and it makes sense.
