Things you may not know about Generative Remove in Lightroom<\/h2>\n

Lets take a deeper look into Generative Remove in Lightroom Classic. It works exactly the same in Camera Raw.<\/p>\n

If you can’t upgrade Lightroom see this<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is a photo with lots of extra people in it. Let’s remove them.<\/p>\n

\"Generative<\/p>\n

Object aware<\/h3>\n

Turn on Generative ai and Object aware from the Remove panel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Scribble select the man in the corner<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Because Object aware is on, the scribble select becomes a nice selection. You want to go over the boundaries a little with Gen remove.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When you apply, it removes the man nicely<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Skip the Refine Panel<\/h3>\n

Scribble select while holding down the Ctrl\/Cmd key to skip Refine<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now this man is instantly removed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Because the resolution is 1024 x 1024 larger removals will leave a softer background. (1024 x 1024 is 3.5 inches at 300ppi)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can use the stamp tool to fix the softer patch area, this is a lot easier now the ai removal has already taken place.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Variations<\/h3>\n

For the next removal, select the group of people in the left. Notice a potential problem; the back half of the dog os behind the group. What will happen?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Generative Remove, removes the people and generates the back half of the dog. So it is capable of generating things.<\/p>\n

Click the variations button to cycle between 3 variations.<\/p>\n

Choose “Refresh” if you don’t like any of the variations. Unlike Photoshop, Lightroom only holds 3 variations at a time. You can choose the history panel and access the other variations though.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Multiple ai patches at once<\/h3>\n

Notice the photo has raindrops on the lens. This would have rendered the photo useless in the past. With Generative Remove, we can now save the photo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Turn off Object aware for this task<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Use the [ and ] bracket keys to adjust the size of the brush.<\/p>\n

Apply the brush to both rain drops.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Notice they are nicely removed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you look, you will see that 2 pins have been created. Each of the spots has aplied its own instance of Generative Remove. This means that each spot gets its own variations, as well as not sharing a large area with one fill which will limit the resolution.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Each spot has its own 3 variations to choose from.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Generative ai and Masks<\/h3>\n

Lets remove these people from an image that has already been editing with masks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Select the people and apply the Generative Remove tool<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Notice the people are removed, but it leaves behind artifacts.<\/p>\n

This is because Gen Remove is working off the original image pixels.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The solution to to apply Generative remove at the beginning of the workflow.<\/p>\n

If you have images that you already used masks on, not problem.<\/p>\n

Click the ellipses menu and choose Update al masks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The mask updates and now it looks nice.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoyed this deeper look in the new Generative Remove in Lightroom.<\/p>\n
