Question

AI remove leaves uneven tone

I've been using Lightroom for over a decade and it's been a pretty stable and valuable tool. But I wish that some things worked as well as they do in Photoshop. I don't actually understand why they don't. 

When I use the new AI remove in Lightroom, it does a brilliant job in removing the distractions. HOWEVER. Looking at the image, there is a visible "patch" that is noticably darker than it's surroundings, making it obvious that the image has been altered. This makes the tool completely useless to me and I now have to go and edit every image in Photoshop. 

It doesn't matter if I do the remove before or after other edits, it just doesn't blend the results into the overall image. Very disappointing.

Thank you for the report.  We are aware of issues here, particularly in the type of photo you have included - high ISO, noisy.  We are working on improving this.  Please do try the feature with other images -- I think you will find it works well in brighter lighting with less noise.

Thanks Peter, 

I'm a northern lights photographer so a lot of my images are shot in ISO800+. The issue is more apparent in bright areas. Using the Remove Tool in Photoshop however on the same photo works almost perfectly with very little to no visible remains. Don't know if that is related to RAW vs TIF format but it's flawless. Maybe that helps you guys to cross-develop reusable components.

Raw images are indeed more prone to this issue.  Thanks for the additional feedback!
