View the post in your Web browser.]   @CedricSimon: "I am trying to understand why my generative remove attempts are sometimes very blurry compared to the rest of the photo, even with small patches. It was the case in all my session yesterday. For some reason, today, simply regenerating the same spots gives better results (but still blurry)."   Generative AI Remove often doesn't match the surrounding noise/grain with replacement patches.  Sometimes running Denoise first significantly improves the match.  If that doesn't help, please attach a full-resolution JPEG exported from the unmodified original photo (not a screenshot) and attach a screenshot showing what you've selected for Remove. That will let us see more precisely what the issue might be.   "I have the feeling Photoshop does better here, at least, is more consistent."   PS and LR use the same Adobe Firefly Generative AI Remove, though their user interfaces are different, and they have different other remove modes (e.g. Heal, Clone, and Content-Aware in LR). So when comparing Generative Remove in the two apps, in LR make sure you've got Remove mode selected with Use Generative AI selected:   and in PS make sure Mode: Generative AI On is selected:   If you encounter an example where Generative Remove behaves differently in the two apps, it would be good to post an example here (with unmodified, full-resolution JPEGs).  To date, no one has posted an example where the two apps differ. ...

"It is strange that only the Collection Informations are not carried from Original to the Enhanced image.

"re-installing the pic-time external uploader ... a faulty pic-time plugin"   There's clearly a conflict between the two plugins, but you can't conclude from this that the Pic-Time plugin is at fault. It may be simply that reinstalling the Pic-Time plugin changed the order in which LR loaded the two plugins, and that there is some issue inside LR with respect to TCP sockets. ... View more

Re the Loupedeck error messsages, the evidence strongly indicates that the Tourbox developer copied the Loupedeck plugin code and forgot to change one instance of "Loupedeck" to "TourBox" in an error message. Oops,   Details   The Tourbox and Loupedeck error messages are both coming from the Tourbox plugin's file InitPlugin.lua:     $ strings Tourbox.lrplugin/InitPlugin.lua | grep "needs access" Loupedeck needs access to tcp ports, but failed to make a connection. TourBox needs access to tcp ports, but failed to make a connection.     The Loupedeck plugin (now called "logiplugin" after their acquisition by Logitech) has very similar error messagew for its InitPlugin.lua:     $ grep "needs access" logiplugin.lrplugin/InitPlugin.lua LrDialogs.showError("Logi Plugin needs access to tcp ports, but failed to make a connection.") LrDialogs.showError("Logi Plugin needs access to tcp ports, but failed to make a connection.")       The Loupedeck plugin doesn't compile its source-code files, so it's easy for another developer to copy the source code. Tourbox compiles its code, making it harder for another developer to copy the source code.   It sure looks like the Tourbox developer copied the Loupedeck code and neglected to change "Loupedeck" to "TourBox" in one of the error messages. ...

[This post contains formatting and embedded images that don't appear in email. View the post in your Web browser.]   Often, Remove doesn't match tones well in flat tonal areas, as in your example. Sometimes you can fix that by selecting a larger area:    (You can get rid of the newly added wall outlet with a second application of Remove.)   Other techniques for ameliorating a tone mismatch: make the selection more raggedy; use short strokes with the Heal tool around the boundary to get better feathering; use the Brush mask and set Texture, Clarity, and Sharpness low to blur the area.   ...

According to the Exiftool utility, it looks like you have a new camera model, the Sony RX100M7A, not the RX100M7: [EXIF] Camera Model Name : DSC-RX100M7A   This model is not yet supported by Camera Raw / Lightroom.  You can submit a request for the camera model to be supported here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/camera-raw-discussions/p-new-camera-raw-file-support-requests-amp-information/m-p/12354770   I wouldn't assume that Adobe will automatically learn about the new camera model, so be sure to submit the request.

"I’d like to think that the Lightroom Classic plug-in API wouldn’t allow for a conflict between two control surface plug-ins trying to talk to Lightroom Classic at the same time, but I don’t know enough about the Lightroom Classic plug-in API. Maybe @johnrellis would know if that’s even a possibility?"   There's a possibility for conflict if both plugins choose the same port number on which to listen for connections from their respective external apps.  So disabling one of the plugins is a good way to test for that.   It's also possible there's a bug in LrSocket, but that seems unlikely too.   Seeing the precise error message from Loupedeck could help clarify things.     Running pirated copies of software sometimes involves modifying the /etc/hosts file to prevent the software from phoning home, and depending on how the hosts file was modified, a side effect could be to disable the proper operation of "localhost", the loopback address LrSocket would use to connect to other apps' sockets on the computer. So seeing the contents of /etc/hosts could eliminite this possibility. ... View more
