I would like to request a new feature (if it already exists let me know) that prohibits Lightroom from sampling outside of the cropped area of a photo when using the Remove tools.
I always do retouching after I've made general exposure adjustments and after cropping. However, the remove tools sample from areas that have been cropped out or they blend areas in areas from outside the crop if the painted region is near the edge of the frame. This often means that you have to undo your crop to move the sample and make a more accurate adjustment of the sample point or to increase the area of the object that you're removing that removes all of it frame outside the crop. The AI tools incorporate the areas outside of the crop in their calculations of what is being filled in. So if I try to AI remove an object that is half in and half out of the crop at the edge of the frame, I have to delete what was already generated, undo the crop, then I have to repaint, AI generate, again, then redo the crop. This is incredibly inefficient. Since you often do not know what needs to be removed until a crop is made, there should be an option to only sample within the crop and disregard anything outside the crop, so you don't have to undo cropping and sit through additional processing time for the newly generated content.
