Steps?  I thought it was a fallen over retaining wall that someone had taken a chainsaw to. Has anyone seen CG Dream?  Colin Smith did a (sponsored) video on it a few days ago, and it is pretty impressive.  If you've seen this years's Sneaks, as well as checked out the new features in the major Photoshop update, you'll know they still pushing Firefly related features for all they are worth, but I can't help but think they are falling behind the competition.   Perfect Blend looked interesting though, so PLEASE Adobe, make that one happen.

it works down to the wire.

Mine simply doesn't work. I click on the 'Find Distractions' button, and no options appear. It's like the button is disabled.

I can't find the Find Distractions from option bar

Are you using the Photoshop Beta version and also do you the remove tool selected? 

[Baguss348663076x1h]

[Trevor.Dennis]

@Baguss348663076x1h  You have the Spot Healing Brush selected.

The Remove Tool is probably hidden in the pop-out list.  I'm struggling to remember the default way of selecting pop outs, but I think if you click and hold, you'll see the other options.

When using the Remove Tool, be aware that if you have the Mode set to Automatic, which I think must be the default, if it choses to use Ai for the fix, then that will use one of your Generative Credits.  I actually didn't know that myself until watching this video with Lisa Carney and Jesus Rameriz at MAX

Evening shot, so lighting fixed then bits of people etc removed... Some traces of them do remain so I think I would do a bit more manual work, this is using gen tools only

[derekwatson]

This was so fast, a simple bit of retouching but used the wire detection and it worked first time...

Bird on the wire. Nope bird on a pole

Great use of this time saver tool!

[DeanUtian]

Anyone dislike bananas with their waffle?

[Monika Gause]

Great! I need that in real life: a banana removal tool. I need them removed from other peoples' hands.

[Oh.N8]

perfect for those fussy eaters.

[fbeaume]

Great idea and nicely done!

Partial success

[fbeaume]

Yep... It might needs 2 or 3 more steps to be the King...;)

[Myra Ferguson]

[Oh.N8]

peace and quiet.

It's good to be alone sometimes!
Well done!
