This is such a game changer for me. I normally use the 'Retouch' tools, but having this 'Remove' tool, is such a cool trick when showing my students!

I love the tool and have been using it for several months. However, if there was ever a opportunity to remove people, it would be in this photo. I only get the "Could only find people who are not the subject of this photograph" message.

Maybe there could be an option for "Remove All People"? Forget the discraction requirement. Let me decide who's a distraction or not.
