Remove distractions in photos with Generative Remove

In the Develop module, select Remove > Detect objects.

Select Detect Objects checkbox.
Roughly brush over the object you want to remove. You can adjust the brush Size to make a precise selection.

By roughly brushing around the object of interest, the whole object would be selected.

- Add - Add areas to the selection.
- Subtract - Subtract areas from the selection.
You can adjust the brush Size in the selected panel and change the Overlay color.

Generative AI powered by Adobe Firefly can be combined with Detect objects to analyze and automatically select the object and remove it for optimal results.
Select Reset if you want to cancel the changes made.
