As an alternative suggestion, before "AI Remove" features were added, the process would have been something like:

1. Select subject (cloud processing)
2. Layer via copy (Ctrl/Cmd + J) to isolate the subject on a new layer
3. Load the copied layer transparency as a selection
4. Expand the selection 1-2 px
5. Select the previous layer containing the background and subject
6. Content Aware Fill
7. Deselect
8. Blur the background

Which is easy to automate into an action.

Step 6 can of course be replaced with Generative Fill with a blank/empty prompt (uses generative credits).

In addition, people keep telling me it there but it isn't. The remove your pointing to just removes the selection and replaces it with something else. The remove in the contextual tool removes the object selected and fills it with its surroundings and does not put something else like your trying to remove in its place. 

Hi @Ham5766

Thanks for reaching out! The Remove tool is already available in the GA version of Photoshop 26.8. You should be able to access it directly from the toolbar. 

Let us know if you’re having trouble locating it or if it’s not working as expected—we’re happy to help!
