Question

Remove tool leaving a ghost

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.

Thanks for your suggestion.However, this issue occurs every time I try to remove an object* before* doinganything else to the image, so it is not the case where I have used a maskand then tried to remove an object within the mask.

In that case check the opacity setting of the tool. Maybe this is not 100%.

 


Thanks for the suggestion but the opacity setting is at 100%.
There have been so many good responses but nothing has fixed the problem. I
think that later today I will sign out of Adobe, clear the cache etc and
reboot my Mac. Hopefully, that will solve the problem.
