Awesome New Update for Lightroom Classic !

good morning good afternoon and good evening welcome back to Jamie photography it's a little short video here I'm just want to uh show you the new update in Lightroom Lightroom 13.3 as of the the 22nd of May they have updated Adobe uh the Lightroom to give us generative remove so that fabulous function that we've been playing with in Photoshop the generative fill in part has been given to us now in Lightroom and uh I just wanted to take you through briefly and show you how this works uh quite excited about it because it will reduce the amount of time we have to go over to photoshop and come back which means we can keep our history in the work that we're doing in Lightroom uh in a more controlled way so really really really exciting feature so this is the image I've I've created here monan Michelle in France uh beautiful medieval um Island that that you can visit this was uh in the middle of the night when uh there are nobody there as always you know me I tend to get up very early uh and and have a wander around and uh the bakeries were just starting uh to get ready to produce the uh the bread and the cakes for the day so it was uh good opportunity to to to get in there and uh take some photographs so that this is the image that I've produced and I've used generative remove here to to remove a number of things let me just show you the original image here we go you can see these more modern style lights not very nice detract quite a lot from the medieval area here and you can see the cables that run all the way through um of course they've got to run cables they need their electricity and their internet um and these old buildings you don't really want to be drilling holes inside them so this is why they run the cables along the front but it often means that to take a a really good photograph of the these beautiful medieval places quite often disturbed by um you know modernisms I like to call them so this this really gives us the opportunity now to to do all this work and stay inside Lightroom so I'm going to take you through show you how the function Works um if you like the video please click like uh always appreciate your comments and any questions or tips that you might have please pop them down below that would be great to see those if you haven't already subscribed to my Channel please feel free to do so um join me on this wonderful Journey that I'm having here on YouTube still still having a great time and if You' Got 5 minutes uh pop over and have a look at my website at jrin.net this feature you go you can just go straight to your remove tool here up in the top right corner and then you will find that you've got the generative Ai and the uh object aware tick boxes that have now appeared um and you can select the different modes but only in the remove mode will it will it show here so what's the difference between generative Ai and object aware and none none of them at all well if you just use the standard remove tool it will try to use content aware to to fill so for example if I just make my brush a little bit bigger here and I select this this modern light here in a medieval place so I obviously want to try to remove this I will just highlight it like that and it will it will remove it now it normally does quite a good job so same thing I can just continue along here take this this this little bit of cable out and I can pick the next lamp along and it will it will remove it and generally it does okay I've always had a great deal of success in using this tool but quite often I have to go over into Photoshop to use the generative fill function to really get a really good removal so we're doing okay there now if I just if I just undo those there and uh and I select the generative AI function what I now have is uh the ability to let me just make my brush a little bit bigger the ability to select everything that I I want to select here so I'm just going to go along same as I just did as you can see here there we go and I'll stop but it doesn't straight away analyze and remove the object it pauses and it gives you the option to add or subtract from The Masks now so we can we can continue make the brush slightly smaller and I can continue along this this sort of cable route here and I can select those cables and the next lamp as well make the brush smaller steel I just get that little bit of cable going out there so I can then click subtract if I want to and I can try to refine this so I can I can make it a little bit smaller and just just try to get as tight in as possible to the object that we want to remove and the reason you do that is because you effectively want to try to maintain as much of the original scenery as possible so sometimes if you're using quite a large brush and I'll give you an example here if I make my brush smaller now I can actually remove a little bit from inside inside there as well so so you can actually just fine-tune your your mask to get it as close as you want to if you want to that is of course uh you may choose to uh to just let it do the work for you which is quite good but you can see I've now got a couple of little bits sticking out the back where the wire comes out the back of these lamps so I can go back to add I can use that small brush and I can just touch in just touch in those areas so now I've got my mask selected I can just click apply now generative field just does take a little while because it sends the information off to Adobe servers and uh it processes those and sends them back to you so there we go uh that's been that's now removed so we did that all in one stroke now if I just brighten this scene up a little bit let's let's bring down the highlights just to get the lights where we want them I'm just going to open up the shadows and I'm just going to raise the exposure just a little bit we can see that there's still some cables left there now the advantage here in Lightroom is that we can now just apply straight over the top another generative fill uh option so there we go um so this generative remove function allows us to to select that so I'm just going to apply that again it's just going to process that now when we go over into Photoshop and we use generative for in Photoshop shop we do have some other options because of course we can control the mask uh and create the layer for for the individual generative fill but with the generative AI remove here you don't get those options but you do get the option to obviously you can go back using control or command z um or you can just continually uh add to the to the layers here but of course it is all stored in history so you can go into history and you can you can find that you've got your your your generative removed there so as you can see I can go back to the previous position and it's back again and I go into history and I can go forward again so this is really really helpful because it saves on stepping over to photoshop and and in doing so stepping over to photoshop when you import the image back from Photoshop it always comes back as a tiff or or or a PNG depending what you have selected as and you have lost all of the previous history that you had because it reenders the image so if you had masks that you'd uh you'd created a number of different masks perhaps you you you'd taken um a radial gradient previously and you you'd plac a radial gradient somewhere we just rais that light level there and then we gone into Photoshop and come back well that mask would no longer be available but now that mask is available so if you generally only use Photoshop for for the remove functions generative fill or stamp tool um then of course this is a huge advantage to us because we can just stay inside uh Lightroom so let me just show you another another feature with this generative film I'm just going to come out of masks going to go back into the generative remove mode and I had it on generative AI but you also have object aware okay so what we can do with object aware is we can tick that as well so now when we select a particular uh area it will pick the actual item that you're trying to remove so for example if we want to remove this this sign here um we can either use the object to wear and the AI featured together so we can take a brush let's make the brush a little bit larger and we literally can just paint over the the the areas we want to remove here so I'm just going to come down take this sign out just going to fill that in little bit extra there and the the content aware will we'll look at that and decide uh what we should what we should uh include within this so it's it's gone with my straight edge here and it's it's it's taken a little bit more information up there um and then what we'll do is we'll apply this and we'll allow it to calculate what should be put in its place so let's see what it comes up with so it's ended up with a lot of more services and clut because that's all you can see here so let's that's option one option two nice big electrical system and option three it's it's giv us something else so even if I refresh again let's let's have a look at this uh refreshing again asking for another three options it will give us uh something more so here we go there's here's some more here still some some information there um more more information again pipes and electrical things so it's using the the sort of content where to generate the AI now if I just go back using control Zed and take us back to where we were what I can do is show you a comparison in um Photoshop if I right click and go to EDI in and go over to photoshop and I use the beta Edition uh purely just to try to keep up with new new additions and new things that have been added now if I if I zoom back into that sign again and I take a a polygonal lasso tool so you go to the lasso tool select polygon which just means you can draw straight lines so I'm just going to start here I'm going to come up here over the top of there just just nice straight line so I'm just making a selection and I've selected that and it gives me the generative fill option I'm going to click generative fill and going to click generate and so now we're going to allow Photoshop to to do the generative fill function so if you don't write anything in the Box it doesn't go to the Firefly instructions to try to replace it it tries to figure out what should be in it in in in its place in removal and as you can see it's given us a plain bit of wall uh that's option one option two option three so it's giv us some more information but we we got what we wanted which was to remove it and that's something that you you're not seeing with the generative remove function in Lightroom but you are getting 90% of the featur so if you're just removing items and if I just go back over to Lightroom there um if if if if we want to remove like these cables and these items and small items it works extremely well so example if I if I click over that uh that CCTV camera there and click apply it will run through the process for refining this result here so let's have a look there we go and it's gone so again we'll try the sign again so I'm just going to come down here we'll we'll put that on that side we'll come across here and we'll just just take that there we'll apply and then we can see what it does with this sign when we're trying to remove it as a whole um but as I say with my my sort of testing here uh there's it's always trying to do something and that I believe is because you've still got the fire the Firefly um AI is working all the time you don't have the option just to ask it to remove something so that's option one option two it's not too bad that's not too bad option three uh it it it seems to be more option three has added something there so option two seems to be pretty good but one of the advantages here is is we can just keep keep layering to remove things from from the shot so can just scan it in again just take that bit across the top there as well apply and we can just keep removing those those objects now this is really really useful because at the end of the day option one option two option three pipe sticking out the wall can take the pipe away as well apply that so you can just keep layering the removal over and over and over uh to get to where you want to be now what what is important is that you look at the um the level of of uh resolution that you get from using the generative remove so try not to do too big in area because I mean if I zoom in here uh move over you can see that this is definitely a lower resolution to the areas around it so to just be just be aware of that to try to do small areas at any one time you know we removed all this up here that looks pretty good so let's continue to remove objects in this scene just going to zoom in there um I'm going to turn off object to wear now I'm just going to use the straightforward select and I'm just going to come in here and just just select these these cables so this beautiful um medieval Town monan Michelle in France beautiful place to visit um they've got to run the cables somewhere Unfortunately they run them along the front of the building so uh they they they do they do add for a bit of an eyes saw and it's something that that you know having the generative fill and the remove uh capabilities is is really really very helpful you can tidy this up so I'm just going to make my brush a little bit smaller and deal with these smaller cables here like so so there we go we've made a selection remember try not to go too big if I try to go across here and all up here and everywhere else the resolution will be much lower so let's let's just apply that to remove those cables now because we didn't use object towar and I went over the edge of this lamp here you'll see that it's messed it's messed the lamp up a little bit because I had covered the edge of the lamp if ID used um the generative fill with the object selection it would have ignored the edge of that lamp um but let's have a look at the options option one option two seems to have done a good job with that lamp there and uh option three now what I do like is the cable went right across front of this Lantern here um and it's it's just placed another Lantern there to effectively hide the Gap where there was there was no uh there was no information because the cable was in front of it so that that's quite nice we can light those up in in in a little while and can do the same across here just take out these these cables across here small brush small as you can just to uh just to make sure that you're only getting the area that you want to because these signs you're losing quite a lot of that information on those signs there so it'll be interesting to see what what it comes up with so I'm just going to apply that and we're going to wait for it to do its little thing to do the generative remove and see what it what it does with this sign with the writing there we go and because it's so far away it it doesn't actually produce any discernable writing it uh almost becomes uh Old English or uh or even something from Lord of the Rings there but because it's such as a small part of the image it can be tolerated um but it's dealt with it it's removed the cables same again here we've got uh Fiber Optic Cables here and fiber optic joint boxes for the phones and the the internet just come down and get get those cables out the shot there same thing apply again and I can carry on for hours here it's quite therapeutic just removing all the things that uh spoil uh a lovely area like this so it's left the cables in there option two option three added some sort of lantern up there in option three I'm just going to go back yeah I'm going to stick with option two but I'm just going to run over those cables again just to remove them we go and I'll just keep applying that as we go but remember you don't have to remove uh use the AI functions you can just use the remove tool um with content aware which is pretty good to be fair um I I always found that to be quite acceptable so we've got rid of those cables there there's some more cables here so same again I'm just going to draw those in smaller brush just going to get that that cable there try not to go over the sign too much there we go and we'll apply that again so that's that's all I'm going to show you with that that particular function there are some other functions that we do have with the update as well which include um some of the the lens blur options I'm not going to show you those now I do have a previous video um that takes you through lens blur but there there is be some updates on that which you can use as well so let me zoom out on this shot let's let's actually try and finish this off as a usable image so I think what I'm going to do is I'm going to just crop just maybe go for a one one by one a one by one crop here there we go one by one and then put that lamp in the middle so this lamp here I'm putting right in the middle there got this Edge I'm not if I'm too far over this way you'd have a little bit of the window and that would make for the edge of the screen to be not not not very tidy so I'm just going to go to there we got that light in the center and hit return quite happy with with that I'm going to go back into the remove tool I'm going to turn off the the generative AI because I just want to remove this drain down here so just cover that in there there's a drain there just remove that let's also remove this drain cover here so we can just have the old medieval cobbles so just just selecting those click apply and it's going to deal with those now you see it's going a lot a lot slower now now cuz it's got a lot more information to have to calculate so it's looking at all the different areas that we've selected and it's trying to deal with them individually uh to make the right calculation to give us exactly what we want so let's see how good it can deal with these cobbles there we go we've got rid of all the drains so still for some reason kept this drain down the bottom corner here so I'm just going to select that one more time and we'll apply that that and allow that to just generate a a new image to replace that drain in the bottom left corner okay there you go that's removed now there's a little bit of litter there let's just zoom in there and just just have a look what we've got going on there yeah just a little bit of rubbish there so we'll select a smaller brush use the square brackets just to the left of the return key we'll just again we'll just select these areas that we want remove a little bit little bit here as well so just just select those again click apply now you can get a little bit carried away with these removals you can see there's a little bit of cigarette down here and there's other bits and pieces but once you're zoomed in at this level um you know we are in extreme detail but if you were producing an image you know for for a fine art exhibition or or for to to be the best work that you do then of course you've got the time take your time to go through and tidy up all the these little bits and pieces uh and make the image almost perfect you know it's the little things particularly if you print them very large uh you will see you will see these things so there we go we've got rid of most of the things that I want to get rid of here uh obviously I'm Bound by time here in the video so just just giving you a flavor for the new function in Lightroom let me just finish this image off with a little bit of a Jamie style so I'm just going to go into masks I'm going to take a a radial gradient just going to pop quite a large one in over here just going to bring that down a little bit and what I want to do is light these shops up a little bit more so the light coming from th this side is lighting up the lights on this side so I've just taken that there I'm just going to brighten that up slightly probably open up the Shadows a little bit more a little bit of contrast in there now it's a little bit bright here so if you don't want it quite so bright there you can always move it back and pull it it out a little bit more if you want to try to get a a better feel for that lighting there I quite I quite like that it works quite a little bit bright here so let's just drop that down just a little bit that's fine I'm going to create a new mask another radial gradient for the ground I'm just going to pull that out here ground level make it a little bit bigger and we're just going to brighten that up as well using just a little bit of um exposure add a little bit of a tint in there little tiny bit of magenta just to balance that off that that works quite well and um I do I do quite like this now we do have a couple little lamps in here so let's quickly just um zoom in and let's light let's light these two little lamps up just going to get in nice and close so to do that create a mask radial gradient take a radial gradient make it just a little bit bigger than the lamp itself bring the exposure up and then what we're going to do is going to subtract the brush make sure the feather is zero the flow is 100 because we're subtracting don't make the brush too big so we make brush a little bit smaller and then we're just going to come in Click and then shift click just to remove around this Lantern here so I'm just going to go across the top for the minute come down here and then and we'll just do the detail on this lamp so I've got in there going round let's zoom in even further we'll get down almost to the pixel level we'll take a smaller brush here and we'll do we'll continue with the shift click shift to draw the straight lines we're just going to come up over the edge of there freehand just to follow that nice curve that we've got in the lantern there fill that in that's good same here just just make sure that we got that area done just going to come in there shift click now we can take slightly smaller brush again and we're just going to put these veins across but I'm just going to back off the flow a little bit so it's not quite as dark as the full removal so just going to put some click shift click just to put those lines in there we go and I'm going to back the flow off still further just so we can do the ones on this side as well so just going to put those crossing over it just gives a flavor we are very very close I mean we're at uh let's see we're down at pixel we're at 800% so you're not really going to see that so let's Zoom back out let's go back up to 100% flow let's make the brush bigger to to remove the rest of that round there and and to find out you can always hover over the mask and that will show you where where you're uh where you are so we've we've lit that up I can push that even further push it up to uh full exposure there brightened up if you want it even brighter you can right click on it duplicate The Mask okay and then what we can do is we can take a small mask in there just to show like the lamp is inside the the Lanter turn just come away from there you can see that that gives us quite a nice look there just want to put some light on the wall so we're going to uh go into uh a radial gradient there we're just going to put that on the wall behind where that Lantern would be lighting up which is about there we're just going to bring that light up a little bit adding just a little bit of color there that's good and we can always go back to the previous mask and just drop the brightness back a little bit if it's too much there we go so come out a mask we've turned that Lantern on as well put a little bit of light there I I would normally add some light on the ground but in this case it it is pretty bright here we can always just try it just to see create another radial gradient we'll take a small one down here nothing too big and we'll be quite subtle just add in a little bit more light there like so bit of temp that's illuminated so anyway hopefully uh you're you're as happy as I am to see that generative remove is now been added to Lightroom it means we don't have to jump over into Photoshop so often and because of that we maintain the history all the way through on what we're doing so thank you very much for taking the time to watch the video and uh if you did like it please click like down below I always enjoy to see your comments and questions and tips feel free to put those down below as well and you if you haven't already subscribed it would be great for you to uh join my journey here on YouTube still having a great time but for now I'm going to say bye-bye
