To use the remove feature in Lightroom, particularly the Generative AI option for easily removing unwanted objects or distractions from your photos, follow these steps in Lightroom on your desktop:
Understanding the Remove Tool with Generative AI
Lightroom's remove tool offers a powerful way to clean up your images. The Generative AI feature uses advanced technology to analyze your image and the surrounding area to intelligently fill in the space left by the removed object, creating realistic results.
Step-by-Step Guide to Removing Objects
Here is how you use the Generative AI remove function as described:
- Open Your Photo: In Lightroom on desktop, open the photo you want to edit in the Edit view.
- Select the Remove Tool: Locate and select the remove tool icon.
- Choose Generative AI: Within the remove tool options, select the Use generative AI option. This activates the AI-powered removal mode.
- Brush Over the Object: Carefully brush over the object or area that you want to remove from the image. Ensure you cover the entire unwanted element.
- Refine Your Selection (Optional): After brushing, Lightroom analyzes the area. If you need to add more objects to the current removal selection or refine the area you brushed over, use the Add option within the Selected menu that appears. This allows you to brush over additional areas to be included in this specific removal operation.
- Apply the Removal: Once you have finished selecting the area(s) to remove, select Remove. Lightroom will then process the image using Generative AI to intelligently remove the selected object and blend the area with the surroundings.
This process leverages AI to predict and generate content that seamlessly replaces the removed area, often making it look like the object was never there.
