Hi Joann, After you make your selection of an object and click "Remove" you will see a "Selected" panel that has the opacity slider. You can also cycle through the variations, refine your selection, or delete the selection and start again.
I hope that helps.
Check out Step 5 in this tutorial:

Hi Everyone!
Try out Generative Remove, powered by Adobe Firefly's generative AI! With just a brush mask, you can easily remove distractions or unwanted objects from your photos. Adobe Firefly will automatically remove the object and seamlessly blend the fill with the rest of the image.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Give it a try and share your Before & After images—or just the After—and show us the magic you've created in the comments below.
Try it in Lightroom Classic
Generative Remove
Open Lightroom Classic
Step 1
In the Develop module select the Remove tool by pressing Q or clicking the eraser icon beneath the histogram making sure the Mode is set to Remove.
Step 2
Select "Use generative AI" and use the slider to adjust your brush size.
Step 3
Use the brush to paint over the object you want to remove making the selection slightly larger than the object.
Step 4
Use the Add or Subtract buttons to complete your selections (don't forget the shadows) then click Remove.
Step 5
Using Adobe Firefly, Lightoom Classic removes the objects creating three different versions to choose from. You can cycle through the versions in the Selected panel, change the Opacity, Generate three new variations, or delete them and try again.
Step 6
You can also use Detect object to easily select an object by simply making a squiggle over it.
Step 7
Lightroom automatically detects the object for easy removal.

October '24 REMIX IT!
Every train has a story...
This image is from the Twin Mountain Station in Carroll, NH nestled in the heart of the White Mountains. It still runs daily and is operated by B&M (Boston & Maine Railroad). For those that share a fascination with trains and NH's White Mountains there's more information here: https://www.nashuacitystation.org/station/new-hampshire/coos/carroll/twin-mountain-bm/ This Remix version is showing some fun with the lens blur tool and more modern looking edits and we're looking forward to seeing your take... as Rick pointed out "so many possibilities". An old fashioned look in B&W with grain, A desaturated version with a hint of color... We hope you have fun and remember to post your remix and upvote the ones that you like best!
How to Join
Make sure you have the latest version of Lightroom Desktop, iOS, or Android
