Hello Anthony!im literally with you from the start 10+ i believe already but again here:) keep up

I don't think there's anyone else on YT that explains photography editing as clearly and thoroughly as you do. Been following you for a while and always learn much! Can't wait to dive into your Lightroom tutorial! Thank you Anthony!!

the first thing you should be making absolutely clear is that this is a restricted feature, there's only so many times within each month that you can use this then you have to wait until your 'allowance' is reinstated each month depending on which Adobe product you're using it on

Yes! My biggest use for Photoshop lately has been popping out of Lightroom to do nothing more than use the Remove tool, then ending up with a huge TIFF file and, often, further Lightroom edits now spread across two files. Can’t wait to try this.

100% agree. Such a PITA to end up with edits on two files AND a giant TIFF file. I knew they would fix this.

As a wedding photographer, this being integrated into Lightroom is going to save me hours every month. Seriously, this is why I raise an eyebrow when people complain about Adobe’s subscription. This software just keeps getting better in a way that’s helpful for my business. I export my photos as lossy DNG’s for archiving purposes. I wonder if you can undo these generative ai edits in those DNG’s.

That would be a be valuable addition. Would you try it out to see if it's possible to and report back to us? For my work, I never use Lightroom - except to search for an image among the many and wouldn't know where to begin.

Thank you for sharing this feature. I found that pressing the REFINE button improves the removal of an object.

Really glad to have this new feature. In the past, Lightroom's Content Aware Remove tool was very good at removing small distractions, but trying to Remove elements as large as the ones nuked in this video was a challenge. You could move the image over to Photoshop and usually do it in one or two tries with Remove Tool or Generative Fill over there. This new feature will often save that step.

For me this is game changer. Yesterday I was editing an image and I did all my edits as usual and there was one part that I wanted to remove. So as usual I had to edit in Photoshop and do exactly what Lightroom does now. As you said it's not perfect but it's also not perfect in Photoshop. And I believe over time this will just get better and better.

Dear Anthony. I think it’s fair to say that I have learned to useLightroom from you. I have used your videos for years to learn LR. You are a born teacher! Thank you for your fantastic work. All the best from Iceland! 😊

Thanks for the video! LOL, I agree on the hit-or-miss issues currently with the feature. I tried to remove an electric wire in a shot and LR kept replacing it with another version of wire.

Is it me or does anyone else have the feeling that the old no ai tool worked better than what some ai get you ? It was like magic how easy it removed things back then in 2010 lol

Thanks, as always most educational. I have yet to run the update and am very concerned that I will encounter the same problem I am having with AI generative fill in Photoshop...........you have to upgrade your graphic card. The card I have in my laptop will not handle the program. I have spoken to both Adobe and the manufactuerer only to be told I need to buy a new computer.

A big help. Thank you!

So clear, thank you!

As always…great info! Thanks!

This is earth shattering! I love it!

Thanks, Anthony for sharing the updates to LR!

Excellent review

That’s awesome! That’s a great new feature.

Very helpful. Thanks.

Always appreciate your lesson on major updates to Lightroom, thanks very much Anthony 👏👏

Very interesting, thank you.

Anthony. like always, you do a great video. I really appreciate what you've been doing for the photographers out there. I just watched your video on the new AI Lightroom and I came in, upgraded mine. and you are a winner Thank you very much. Keep up the good work. CJ 5th wheel.

What a great tutorial of a very cool new feature in Lightroom. I cant wait to try this out. First I need to download the latest version. I would love to have you at Lancaster Motorplex some day so we can shoot together and try out some things.

Did it maybe add the rocks because there was a shadow that needed something to make it look realistic?

Great instruction as always Anthony. In #3, the girl taking a selfie against the brick wall, it appeared to me that the wall was not real. The bricks were too smooth and the mortar had too much textural uniformity, given the non-uniform array of the black stains. Makes me wonder if fake elements in the scene cause problems.

🤓 Very Good Explanation of the feature, how it works and some of the issues with it's use. 👍🏼

Anthony I told. you before I am from Buffalo, NY myself. In Akron. New York. and an old photographer like you from the film days Maybe someday we can meet up and have coffee.

I always learn new things watching your videos !I tried today in camera raw and in LR classic. Now it might be my imagination but the Generative remove worked better in Camera Raw in photoshop.

Do you know what resolution is used for the filled area? Thanks.

If you get a chance could you please see if they have added it to the 'Fill Edges' option when you merge images to panorama? This desperately needs it as what it normally adds is often horrendous!

The lady against the wall, it got confused because her shadow wasn't also selected. If you expanded that selection to include her shadow I'd imagine you'd get a better result.

+1 My thoughts exactly! The same is visible with the shoe shadows (Eiffel tower image) generating stones with shadows. If the generative AI sees shadows, it will wonder where it is from and generate a plausible reason for the shadow! It has nothing to do with background blur!

For the problem image of the selfie girl against the brick wall-maybe it’s because you’re not fully selecting the very subtle ambient shadow she’s casting, so LR gets confused and tries burning the wall to match her shadow gradient, or replacing her with something else that casts a subtle shadow (like a scary Ai human). Did you try expanding your selection so it encompasses her ambient shadow? Just a thought!

Thanks, Anthony. I was hoping Generative AI would have made its way to Lightroom. It will definitely help cut down on my processing time.

This is great because I am all the time taking a nice portrait but there is a pole coming out her head!

Finally,i dont need Photoshop..uff😊 Btw at my first attempt it produces a object..regenate i think called?but i want to delete only

I just upgraded LR to take a look at this new feature. It appears to have a similar bug as the spot removal tool had originally. I removed a person from an image whose upper body had the sky as a background. I had previously made adjustments to the sky using masks. The person was successfully removed but left a “shadow” in the sky. I created a virtual copy of the image, deleted the sky mask, and then removed the person using this new feature- success. I then created a new sky mask, and was able to make adjustments without and sign of the removed person.

Anthony tell us what you were using for a mouse to draw so perfectly and are you using a desktop computer or tower

The difference between using Lightroom and Photoshop for Generative AI, is that in Photoshop you can see each generated content on a layer you can edit later, but with Lightroom they are not editable. Correct?

If you add lens blur artificially before using this, will it improve the results?

Thanks Anthony, great video, appreciate the help. I thought I read that Adobe will charge for Generative AI after a certain amount of usage, any feedback on this you can share?

Thanks for posting. It seems like it arbitrarily attempts to either replace the masked area by incorporating the surrounding area (replace the cars by extending the parking lot) or by replacing the masked area with a similar object (replace a person with another person). Just tried to replace a portion of a house and while I "wanted" the house replaced by the adjoining vegetation, it insisted in replacing it with another house. Hopefully, it will be fine tuned in future releases.

Thanks for the video! To be honest I don't care very much about AI, but I'm so happy for the tethering support for the Canon R6 Mk II. Finally!!!! 😃😃😃

I updated to 13.3 several days ago and since then it is showing syncing 3 photos. I have searched for missing photos, there are none. The Catalog panel does not show any sync errors. In the LR cloud version it states syncing is complete. In classic I can still create a collection and it syncs to the cloud OK. There seems to be a lot of people affected by this. Do you have any similar experiences?

I wonder if there’s “clicks” count against the monthly free ones like in PS?

I had the same problem with certain images. I found unticking object aware fixed the issue

LRC is getting a lot of new features but are the results still in lower resolution 1024 x 1024 and therefore only useful for screen/social media and not able to be blown up into a decent sized print?

Try adding the shadow in your selection to remove the girl.

Love your videos. But you didn't mention that when you upgrade, you have to update all the masks for the photos in the catalog AND you have to update any eraser (maybe all remove tool) adjustments you made. I just upgraded and found that every photo needs these updates. Like many others I have well over 100,000 photos so just to export some files for a client today instead of one minute to export, it took 15 minutes to update all the photo masks and remove tool adjustments and then look to make sure they look like the original adjustments. Any thoughts??

I should have mentioned that you have to do two steps, one to update the masks and then a second step to update the remove tool You can't even do it in one click!

Great video Anthony, for the brick wall, 10:07 maybe it replaced with another girl because the mask shape is similar to the girl , can you try drawing irregular mask and tell us what will happen

i have no idea what i have done but i'm hoping you could help me i shoot three canon bodies all set to raw and jpeg and jpeg are in mono but when i import them into lightroom it shows them all in colour any idea what i have done wrong

Can you use this to remove stray hair on a model?

Is there a resolution limit to how big an area can be removed, say like the 1024x1024 resolution limit in AI Generative Fill?

You missed quite a few cameras now able to tether including (at long last) some Sony cameras.

When I trıed to remove a person it also replaced with another person ! I hope in the future they ımprove this may be giving an option like "Generative Replacement" AND "Background Replacement" button.

@falklumo

You cannot remove a person but not ALL shadows they cast. Because the AI will infer that the plausible reason for the shadow is a person or other object ... If at all, it could be improved by adding a text prompt to generative remove/fill.

Helpful video! Thank you for giving us this first look. It's good to see more PS tools trickling down into LR. Do you know if Adobe abandoned the idea of AI credits? There was talk last year that Adobe was going to give you so many AI credits according to your plan and you've have to spend those every time you used generate AI. The argument being that AI tools use their servers and required bandwidth. I haven't heard anything since so I hope that it never happens.

My understanding is that once this comes out of the "Early Access" phase, AI credits will apply. The number of credits you get per month will depend on your subsciption. Use of the old tools will not be subject to the credits as they don't use the AI servers, so you don't want to get into the habit of using AI for simple edits like spot removal where the existing tools work just fine.

Removing main pieces of an image is somewhat of a party trick. The real usage is to clean up backgrounds. If you don’t want the person in the image, don’t push the button.

This looks like a great option to remove cellphones from other people taking pictures

Anyone else having massive problems with Lightroom Classic 13.3? Version 13.2 worked perfectly, but this version won’t import properly, hangs when i try to do anything, is using 415gb of virtual memory (according to system info in Lightroom preferences, but not in activity monitor) I hope they release a less buggy version soon!! If you haven’t updated yet, DON’T!! Wait for the next release

I am not sure… did you mention that this function is not for free? It cost Adobe credits…

Good job Lightroom……..now do focus stacking so I don’t ever need photoshop

I shoot fashion and professional portraits and agencies and the big fashion magazines are inserting a clause into my contracts that prohibits the use of AI retouching to images. Some are going so far as to be requesting the Raw file as it came out of the camera. So be warned. They alone reserve the right to do the editing, not the photographer. And I think its a very good thing too. Clients want originality and naturalness.

It is a cool tool, but watching makes me want to get a decent composition in camera and not rely on LrC Remove.

The question that I have, for Adobe, is, if you are using the "eraser", why on earth would you put objects into the picture?

@falklumo

The AI will fill in the most plausible content. This is mathematically defined from the training material. It wouldn't put objects onto a background if the remainder is clean.

In the early days of Generative Fill in Photoshop, you'd get this annoying behavior but could often avoid it by simply inserting a "." [period] in the box asking what you wanted to fill. PS then understood you wanted to remove the lasso-ed element, not add something. Lately that hasn't been necessary in PS. I wonder if that would have helped here in Lightroom.

Isn’t the point to remove distractions and not the subject itself… in most of your examples you are removing the main subject in the photo

This stuff is going to end photography in my opinion. I'm not a fan.

@@davidpearson3304 I didn't say anyone was forcing me to use it. I simply expressed my opinion about AI's effect on photography in the long term. It's my opinion. If you disagree, great.

If you don't mind sharing credit for your photograph's excellence with a machine this is the way to go. I'm not that person. Many people are. There should be a scarlet AI burned into the image, though. The key word is "generative" meaning not in the original, added by automation. It is the new plagarism - taking credit for what some software engineer created while working from home in his underwear. I'm trying to be honest and funny. AI augmentation is not what the camera saw and never can be. It's why I don't use ML features in Pixelmator Pro. I bet not everyone agrees! :)

These are toys to play with, not tools for photographers. I'm fed up of AI. If they want to release something useful, let them add the polygonal mask. FYI. your images are now property of Adobe.
