The Object Removal AI tool lets you remove distracting elements like exit signs, fire alarms, and fire extinguishers from your photos automatically. When you download and review the edits in Adobe software, you can undo these changes photo by photo or in a batch, if necessary.

TIFF format isn't supported for Object Removal. Use RAW or JPEG format instead.

Object Removal is currently in beta. 

Create an editing project

1. Choose one of these photography types: Weddings, Events, School, Family / Newborn, or Portraits.
    

2. In the Add AI tools area, find Object Removal, and click the + sign to add it. You can't use Object Removal with HDR Merge.
   
    

   You are prompted that Object Removal needs high-res photos, which will take more time than usual. Click Got it.
   
    

3. Review the objects that will be removed automatically from all your photos. By default, all the objects will be automatically removed. To keep an object, click its toggle. For example, if you want fire stickers and fire extinguishers to remain in the photos, click their toggles, and they turn grey.
   
    
4. Click Save Changes. When you choose the Object Removal AI tool in future projects, the same objects will be removed.
    
5. Click Edit to upload your photos and edit them.
   
   
    

Download and review edited photos in Adobe software

When you review your edits, you download them for review in Lightroom Classic or Lightroom, Photoshop, or Bridge. You can adjust the areas where the objects were removed or revert the photo back to display the objects, as you choose.

Filtering the changes by each object in Lightroom Classic

Imagen adds a keyword for each object removed from the photos. You can see which objects you removed in photos by filtering by the keywords. 

• In Lightroom Classic, go to Library > Keyword List, and type in the keyword of the object you removed. For example: “exit signs.” Also, a list of objects that Imagen removed is under Imagen Object Removal.
  
  The photos where the object was removed appear with a light background in your library. Under Keyword List > Imagen Object Removal, there is the number of photos where the object was removed next to each keyword.
