Learn how to remove reflections in a photo with the AI-powered Distracting People Removal tool.

The People feature under the Distraction Removal tool in Adobe Camera Raw helps remove unwanted background people from your photos. This AI-powered feature automatically detects crowds or distracting people in an image and removes them in just one select. 

Before you begin:

  1. Open a raw photo with distracting people and select Remove  .

  2. Under Distraction Removal, select the drop-down beside People

  3. Camera Raw will automatically detect all the distracting people in the photo and create a mask overlay (red by default) with individual pins over them. 

  4. To exclude someone from the removal, select the pin over them and press the Delete key.

  5. Select Remove to remove the selected people.

  6. You can select   to switch back to the original photo or select the pin over people to generate variations.
