For some time now, the Generative AI remover has been using horribly low-resolution images in the areas it changes. In its current state, it’s not usable.
Could you tell us a bit more about what you're experiencing? Which version of Lightroom are you using? Does this issue happen with every generation, or do the variants it creates seem to be better quality?
Also, if you could share your System Info, that would be super helpful. You can find it in Lightroom by going to Help > System Info. Just copy it into a text file and attach it here, or feel free to share it via Google Drive, WeTransfer, or any other file-sharing service you prefer.
Thanks so much! 😊 Alek

Hi @Aleke , thank you for the quick response. I always use the latest version of Lightroom (not the Classic one). I first noticed this problem in September, and I’ve also seen it in Photoshop: if I use AI to remove something or uncrop an image to make it larger, the added area looks like 360p. I thought it was a temporary bug and didn’t use AI Remove much until now, but it happens every time I use AI Remove or uncrop something. Here are my system specs:

Hi @prlolos32185349lsx9, thank you for sharing the detailed system info. To dig deeper into what’s happening with AI Remove, could you please:
Please share a sample file after you have made all your edits so we can run Generative Remove on the same image and compare the results.
Let us know specifically what edits you wanted to achieve (for example, object removal, uncropping, background fill, etc.), so we can see where the quality is breaking down.
If possible, record a short screen capture of your workflow while applying AI Remove. That will help us understand exactly how you’re using the tool and where the output starts to look low-resolution.
This will give us the best chance to reproduce the issue and investigate why the generated areas are turning out blurry or low quality.
Thanks again for your patience, and looking forward to your files and recording.
