This new Lightroom feature is a GAME CHANGER! Generative AI

All the equipment I use:

//////

In this video I use for the first time, and show lots of examples of, the new Generative AI feature in Adobe Lightroom version 13.3, released in May 2024.

This new feature is a game changer because it now means that distracting elements of photographs can be removed in Adobe Lightroom, without the need to go in to Photoshop.

The feature isn't perfect, as I show you in the video, but it is a huge step forward for Lightroom and will save photographers lots of time in the future.

As always, if you have any questions about anything which I do in this video, please do not hesitate to ask!

At 10:30 I use the select subject tool in PS to make quick selection of removing people or removing things around people.

The "Credits" mention was super important so I researched it on Adobe and now understand what that means. I image LOTS of people using this new feature will not know about the credit limited since it's not "footnoted" within the LR tool.

Excellent learning video and introducing these amazing features now being brought into Lightroom. Thank you for the clear and clean presentation. Nnce work overall including the shots.

Updated yesterday, yes it is wonderful to see them in Lightroom.

Hey Niel, I'm learning a lot from you!! Great content as always..🎉

To remove people in the middle try to use rectangle or square selection not a human shape so therefore Lightroom will not try to replace the human with another human. That works with most cases.

So is there a limit in how much we can remove before we have to pay for the remove tool??? This video was very helpful. Thank you

[dirtysouthtiger]

If you select object aware, it fills in the erased outline

So you think you’ll use Lightroom for the removal of strobes, stands and assistants vs taking plate shots to use in Photoshop?

nice tutorial.what version of that lightroom you use?.

[Joslemian]

Unbelievably well performing tool and a complete game changer! Even the first example you chose to nitpick was still quite impressive (but I get your point being critical)

[scottfreckle]

don't forget to mention this is a restricted use tool. You only get to use it so many times per month depending on your subscription then you have to wait until the end of your month for your usage rights to be refilled

Such an amazing update and super helpful video. Excited to start using my credits!

[danirayoum]

Hmm, mine does not work like this at all. It struggles pretty badly and my menu looks different. I dont have as many options.

[MyLittleMoana]

hello

I can see the option on my Lightroom - any advice please?

[woodworkingphoto]

It seems that it's low res, if you look at Darcie's veil that you caught on the first image.

[Spencer_White]

Awesome video on it, thanks for sharing buddy.

Amazing video 👏
I upated mine 3 days ago and my lightroom classic has being freezing every 20mins or so. I don't know if it's a general problem or is just mine 🤷‍♂️

[jesperkoefoed]

Great video - but sorry to say - if you make for instance four selections that are seperated from each other and use REmove AI at all of them at once, you'll be "charged" for four credits.
I fixed a studio photo with 25 scrathes at the floor - that was an "expensive" way to use it.... But stil an amazing tool :)

And if you use the Remove tool I PHOTOSHOP (not the fill but the remove) - which is almoust the same as en LRC - it does NOT cost a credit.... So there is still a reason to use Photoshop if you are running out of credits - even touht I would love not to...

[wladimirllanos]

Side effect: on META platforms, every image even with the smallest tweak use of generative IA will be labeled as IA generated.

[margotdaley]

This will save so much time not having to send images to Lightroom, fix the photos and then export! Exciting update!

It's been curious to see the AI elements in PS and LR. They still seem to have moments of madness but are getting to be really useful tools!
