Awesome New Update for Lightroom Classic !

It is a very exciting time in the photography world with new software updates coming on a regular basis. the most recent update comes to Adobe Lightroom Classic, bringing the Generative Fill function from Adobe Photoshop to the Lightroom Classic platform, called Generative Remove. In this video I will take you through how this new feature works and how it compares to the Generative Fill function in Adobe Photoshop.
If you would like to follow along with the video, you are more than welcome to download the RAW file here :- drive.google.com/drive/folder...

This is a significant win for staying in LR and RAW. I suggest saving Generative AI for more complex tasks and using the local removal tool when possible. Once the Generative feature moves out of 'Early Access,' it will use credits each time you generate. I first try remove and then go to generative when the results are not usable.

[@jamiermathlin]

I think you have provided clear advice Ron, only use the AI features where it is really needed !

Wonderful presentation of great new tool. I clicked both the "thumbs up" and "subscribe", even though you don't sound like you are from Texas.😊

[@jamiermathlin]

many thanks for the feed back, it is very much appreciated 😀

Love your content Jamie, you have taught me so much. Mike, Northern Ireland. 🍻

[@jamiermathlin]

thank you for the comment Mike, it is very much appreciated. It makes me very happy to know that you have learned somethings from my videos 😀

[@jrfsailing07]

Amazing work!

[@jamiermathlin]

😀 😀

[@williamturner1441]

Thank you Jamie for reviewing the new tools. I have several photos from the 1700 - 1800's in my area where i struggle to get rid of the modern touches.

[@jamiermathlin]

It seems William that you now have the power of a wizard to fix the buildings in your local area ! 😀

[@davidletz9123]

I was expecting this video from you, Jamie! 😄 As others have said, I have learned tons from your videos. If I lived in the UK, I'd certainly try to enroll in oner of your workshops.

[@jamiermathlin]

Thank you David, your comment is very much appreciated. I am happy to hear that you are learning things, this is what I am trying to do 😀

[@01Dirtnapper]

Your attention to detail and the workflow is fantastic, always something to learn. Thank you.

[@jamiermathlin]

many thanks 😀

[@rptaraporevala]

Thanks. Lovely tutorial. I was easily able to remove and highlight objects in my pictures after seeing your video. :)

[@jamiermathlin]

I am very happy to hear this 😀

[@jerryschulz929]

Thank you Jamie! First video on photography I have had time for in the last few months. Loved the edit and thanks for the run down on the new feature in LRC.

[@jamiermathlin]

You are very welcome Jerry, and thank you for the comment 🤩

[@DevonRich697]

Good timing Jamie! One thing that I picked up on another video was that where there are objects to remove, do this before cropping where these may be at the edge of the crop. I think that this was why the bottom left hand drain was not removed on your first attempt as this crossed over the cropped edge so the AI was comparing the whole image and not the cropped one. Hope that this makes sense.

[@jamiermathlin]

makes total sense, thanks mate !

[@ASMPHOTO]

Thank You! Another great learning experience.

Amazing editing, Jamie.

thanks for the update functions very useful thanks

[@jamiermathlin]

you are very welcome Patrick, hope you are well ! 😀

[@markscutt7471]

thanks again Jamie, great that we now don't need to go over to PS and loose radials etc. Time to go back and edit some older images :)

[@jamiermathlin]

it is a game changer mate, happy Lightroom time !! 😀

Wow!! Thanks for the Video.

Hi Jamie !!! This is Awesome Man ! Many Thanks for This Video. Hope One Day I Can Meet You in One of Your Workshops or Book a One to One Lessons for 6 Hours! Have a Great Day Man !. Fernando.

[@keithdraycott]

Very nice to be able to stay in LR and keep all of the RAW info and history. But as it's using AI, I'm guessing every time I remove an object now it will count against my monthly allocation.

[@tiaoat2013]

Jamie...I can confirm that Adobe is using our credits when using Generative Remove in Lightroom.

[@jamiermathlin]

Yes, I can confirm the same, the tokens are being debted as they are used, it took me a while to find out how to find out how many I have left, but I did find it. I will add this to my next video for information. thanks for the comment 😀

[@zanzi7072]

Nice video Jamie..

[@jamiermathlin]

many thanks 😀

[@gashead2]

Great video thanks

[@jamiermathlin]

No problem 👍

[@michaelkramer4741]

This one is a game changer for my post workflow. Being able to do this work in LR and continue to work with the raw file is extremely helpful. Always my biggest gripe with doing anything in PS is dealing with a 2nd file when returning to LR. Hopefully Adobe will increase the credits for doing AI functions. Would be nice if they could add additional selection options beyond just a brush.

[@jamiermathlin]

I completely agree Micheal, keeping all your history in LR is a much better situation. I note from the recent work I have done with the remove tool that the algorithm has improved as well, so best to try and remove with content-aware removal tool before using Generative Remove, if you can. Saves on tokens 😀

[@MyStocko]

Great video Jamie. Lightroom will soon be as powerful as PS .

[@jamiermathlin]

I think you are right David 😀

[@dipakkothari8393]

Great informative and educational as always. Can please let me know the island name you are discussing in the video? Thank you in advance.

[@jamiermathlin]

thank you for your kind words, it is very much appreciated. The island is called Mont Saint Michel, it is located on the west coast of France. There are a few small hotels on the island, so you can, as we did, stay on the island, then you will have the place to yourself 😀if you get up early...

[@dipakkothari8393]

@@jamiermathlin Thank you very much for your prompt response. I have visited this island. I just could not catch the island name. Your instructional videos are just amazing!

[@robertleem5643]

I have learnt so much from your videos, many thanks and keep them coming. Can you do one with a sky replacement but show how you get inbetween tree's or other objects that the Sky AI can't reach

[@jamiermathlin]

Hi Robert, thank you for the comment. I am happy to do a sky replacement with tree refinement, however, I have done a few already, so have a look at this video first:- kzbin.info/www/bejne/enuwaIhmfMioe6c&ab_channel=JamieRMathlin. if you think you need more information let me know 😀

[@markledingham4942]

Thank you so much, Jamie, for an informative and instructive video. This is something that I will be looking forward to using. I just want to mention that the local photo club, of which i am a member, frequently has photo contests. However, the club has decided to not allow AI-edited photos in submitted photos; this, because such edits are stealing from other photographers’ work (according to their resolutions). Isn’t this a commonly misunderstood perception when it comes to AI edits?

[@jamiermathlin]

I see that you understand, but you may wish to point out to the purists in your photoclub that an image captured by a digital camera is technically not a photograph, as light has not been exposed on to a photosensitive material, a digital sensor turns light into data, which is then processed by the CPU in the camera, in fact a JPG is more processed than a RAW image, in addition, many cameras are now using AI as part of their processing capabilities for exposure and auto-focus capabilities, so the silly people in your photo club, may have to start checking which cameras use AI processing. If they wish to be purists and not hypocrites, they should only shoot film !! But thanks for the comment. In my view shoot whatever you want and process as much or as little as you like, the key to photography is having fun 😀

[@cindysmith6842]

Do you still only get 250 uses before there is a fee? Does this take credits away from your photoshop usage?

[@jamiermathlin]

Hey Cindy, currently they have not started to charge for the tokens, let's see if this start in the near future 😀

[@JoeCosentino]

Look T your terms of service you are giving Adobe full rights to your photos, if you use generative fill so who really owns the photo you or Adobe.

[@jamiermathlin]

It is just for fun 😀However, if you read the terms and conditions, human creation remains copyrightable by the author, however, if you create an image using adobe AI, the output of the AI remains the author's property, not Adobe, unless the majority of the image is produced by Adobe.
