Visible transitions/borders through generative removal // How to avoid?

Hello everyone,

first of all, all the best for the new year!

I have a problem with removing disturbing elements in the background via generative removal. Normally this works quite well, but here the newly generated areas have a different grain (caused by ISO) and you can clearly see the transitions/borders to the original background.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can improve this? Or do you know a good tutorial on how to do this?

Many thanks and best regards!

This is a known limitation of generative remove. It's not very good at matching noise patterns. You could use AI Denoise on the image before using remove.

In addition to not matching noise, it's also not good at matching the tone of uniform backgrounds. Ways to ameliorate the problem:

1. Apply Denoise first, as Johan indicated.

2. Select a much larger area to be replaced.

3. Use the Healing tool with 100 feathering along the hard edge, using short strokes if necessary.

Here's an example using your screenshot. First I Removed one larger area rather than several smaller ones:

Then I applied the Healing tool along the hard left edge of the replacement, making it much less noticeable:
