Written steps here: photoshopcafe.com/testing-ai-remove-power-lines-in-photoshop-how-good-is-it/ So many people asked if a second pass world would help. I tried it here Can #photoshop remove power lines in this impossible image? Applied 2x #photoshoptips #ai ruclips.net/user/shortsf4y9quPFZag?feature=share
Hiya, Thats exactly what I was thinking. Now that so much has bee removed maybe PS will now have a clear view of the remaining problem. Im sure it should be able to find that large cable at least. Over to you Colin, would a second or third pass get rid of the rest of the cables?
@@photoshopcafe Thanks Colin, I noticed you did that as a short, since my comment. I never watch shorts, but I guess it worked. I have now taken a camera shot from your original video and I`m going to try it myself. Cheers Colin.
Thats what I was going to ask, because one of those cables is so big, with a lot of the clutter gone, perhaps another go at it will make it identify those remaining wires and the big one.
@@spookysandwich1355 I never thought of that. I`ll give that a go. Perhaps in the future Colin could share the phots that he uses so we can then try and obtain his results.
Very impressive demonstration, Colin! When I think of all the time I've spent manually cloning wires out... it's one of those things with editing a photo, once you start, you want to keep at it until they're all gone.
Well, it does a good job and i tried the last one, to get rid of all. With 2 times wiring function and three times generative fill, i managed to get a clean image. So very impressive
Awesome. A companion video with a quick refresher on how to mask back in the bits and pieces this, or other tools, don't handle perfectly, would be welcome!
@@mavfan1 Sure, but he should put links to some of his own in the description. RUclips may be the second largest search engine in the world, but that doesn't mean it always get you exactly what you are looking for... (and using the RUclips search on a specific channel is pretty hit or miss a lot of the time)
I tried it on a photo with a few wires, small, and with dark background, and it did a great job. I had been using the patch tool to remove, and this works much better (and takes much less time).
I had fun testing this feature myself. It reminded me of when Luminar released their powerline removal tool that barely worked a few years back. Adobe's version works great - though now they need a power pole removal tool.
On the last one I feel like you could’ve duplicated the two layers after, merged them, and then rerun it to see if it’ll continue to clean them up. Interesting to think about, what do you think?
I like that feature, but with a lot of my photos, they are for Real Estate, and taking them out would be bad and not representing the property. But look forward to use it on other pics when needed. Thanks.
Wow. AI is really good. I wonder if this feature would work on images that have chain linked fences in them. Technically not wires, but perhaps PS would be able to remove the chained link fences as well. Any chance you have some stock images to test this on?
All AI tools are only in beta versions of all adobe products. Keep the original version to relay on because all beta versions are unstable so you don’t wanna lose a project
Run the same group of photos through Luminar. Some it will do just as well. But for others the Luminar version will yield awful results. This is SO much more advanced! Thanks for doing this.
It is not perfect but it saves a ton of time tracing every wire. I tried the "people" distraction tool and it has some flaws too, but just like the AI Generative tool, it is pretty amazing.
The only thing I use Luminar Neo for is removing wires, so once this feature gets into the current release I can get rid of that. Well done, Photoshop!
I have Photoshop version 25.12.0 and I do not have the options of "find distractions" and "auto" when choosing the remove tool. Is it an update to this version? Thanks
It may not get very complex arrangements first time but it takes so much of the hassle out of removing wires. Typical of the "so called" AI (more machine learning really), it is often not perfect without some small amount of help from humans (which, I've no doubt it will learn from!), but the toil it saves is well worth it. Brilliant demo Colin, with a good range of photos. I enjoyed the game!!
Can you please try this on Fly-away hairs? It seems like that would be an equally useful application of this sort of process. A one click removal of all crazy hair would be the best ever AI gift!
I shoot in an urban environment almost exclusively and editing out lines is a pain in time and money. This new tool saves me so much time it pays for my monthly subscription on every job!
Why don't I have this feature in my photoshop.I get the remove tool, and there are no "find distraction" options. Just the brush option. I am using V25.13

Thanks for posting. It is a very effective tool.
Wonder how a second go at the last photo would work

That’s pretty impressive. Thanks for testing this 🤗🙌🏻🍀
Brilliant, Colin, I didn't know that tool was there. I always love your tutorials.
A great test...and a helluva fun time! Colin, thanks for letting your hair down with this video!
I wonder what would happen if you ran the process a few times on that last image?
Thats what I was going to ask, because one of those cables is so big, with a lot of the clutter gone, perhaps another go at it will make it identify those remaining wires and the big one.
@@stevejarvis186 take a screenshot of the video and try it , it might work ?

@@stevejarvis186 let me know how you get on would be interesting to see if it does work , ive still yet to update my ps haha
See my pinned comment where I tried it
Like your new style!And of course the contents.
Pretty good, beats using the pen tool with stroke and healing brush!
If you run the "kraken" through a 2nd run does it pick up the leftovers?

Yes its a time saver

The last example is almost unbelievable!
I was shocked
Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant , thanks for the information.
Yes it will be useful for most of my work. Thanks for the session.
It is truly amazing! Great tutorial. As always....
Thanks
Terrific job!
Awesome. A companion video with a quick refresher on how to mask back in the bits and pieces this, or other tools, don't handle perfectly, would be welcome!
there are probably 1000 videos like that.
Check out one of my videos on remove tool, I cover that

See my pinned comment where I tried it
pretty amazing, thank you!
I’ve spent way too much of my life erasing utility lines from photos. Even the easy test shows a big step forward. Thanks.
yes, time saver
Amazing feature, and you made it into a fun and entertaining video. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for making these videos. Very helpful!
you were welcome
Wonderful... for the last image, what if we do it again...and YES. your look added a flavour to the subject...lovely...

Very impressive. Up to now, I have been using Luminar Neo to remove power lines. I am impressed by the current results. Thank you so much
I tried it on a photo with a few wires, small, and with dark background, and it did a great job. I had been using the patch tool to remove, and this works much better (and takes much less time).
I’m having trouble following along what version of Photoshop are you using? Thank you.
Public beta there’s a card at the beginning links to video that shows you how to get the beta
That is great - what if you ran it through a second time to get the remainder? Would that work?
See my pinned comment where I tried it
Can it remove fences? Can you take the first removal page and do a 2nd pass to see if it removes more wires?
I had fun testing this feature myself. It reminded me of when Luminar released their powerline removal tool that barely worked a few years back. Adobe's version works great - though now they need a power pole removal tool.
On that last one I’d do a stamp-up of the layers to a new layer & run the tool again to get rid of the thick wires.
On the last one I feel like you could’ve duplicated the two layers after, merged them, and then rerun it to see if it’ll continue to clean them up. Interesting to think about, what do you think?
See my pinned comment where I tried it
Does this last shot improve if saved and then run the edit again?

That’s a good point.
Definitely a more useful feature for landscape and amateur travel photography than (honest) real estate photography.
Any idea when this is coming to regular ,not beta Photoshop?. I could really use this tool.
They don't tell us that.
That was very impressive and as a property (residential and commercial) photographer this is going to help enormously
Glad to hear it
Impressed 👍
That was fun!
Thanks
I don’t have beta but I live on the big island of Hawaii where every vista has wires. I’m looking forward to the remove update.
WOW AMAZING
Thanks Russell Brown
Hey nice job, but why did you put a new layer for the removal tool?
No destructive workflow, it can be reverted easily
@@Maxiwoofyup
Great feature and yes, quite impressive.
I think so
Curious Colin: does that tool use up credits ?
Wow. AI is really good. I wonder if this feature would work on images that have chain linked fences in them. Technically not wires, but perhaps PS would be able to remove the chained link fences as well. Any chance you have some stock images to test this on?
doesn't work
@@photoshopcafe thanks for giving it a try.
Colin, I don't see the Remove Distractions option in my Photoshop v 25.12.0. Is it currently only in the Beta version of Photoshop.
All AI tools are only in beta versions of all adobe products.
Keep the original version to relay on because all beta versions are unstable so you don’t wanna lose a project

Thanks, yes, as you said it gets us off to a great start, if it doesn't nail it.
Wonder if this will work with mesh in front of an animal enclosure at a zoo
nope tried it
For the last one, try merging the layers and trying it a second time.
See my pinned comment where I tried it
I've used this on beta. It's a hell of a lot better than the way we used to try and remove distractions 📷 👍
yup it is
Wow, wow, and WOW!
Saw someone in the Photoshop Lightroom FB group trying to remove lines from a puzzle, wondering if this would work?
Did it work?
@@photoshopcafe haven’t tried but I’ll download photo and see, that would be awesome
It might not be perfect, but a really awesome starting point, a definite A+ from me
I agree 100%
Wow!
I just tried it and it started to process the photo and came back with a "Process Error" hmmm....
Great feature for architectural photographers
I would try a 2nd or 3rd pass on the Kracken
See my pinned comment where I tried it
Can you please try this on Fly-away hairs? It seems like that would be an equally useful application of this sort of process. A one click removal of all crazy hair would be the best ever AI gift!
I doubt the auto selection will work on hair. But you could apply the removal tool, probably work, although gen fill probably better
0:26 guess the location?
It is really good and useful. That image of Kathmandu is super hard to edit. With time, the algorithm will only improve.
Yes, definitely
I shoot in an urban environment almost exclusively and editing out lines is a pain in time and money. This new tool saves me so much time it pays for my monthly subscription on every job!
nice
WOW! OK👍
good lord this is gonna save me lots of time
me too
I think this will be helpful.
👍
Luminar Neo has a "Remove Powerlines" option to the Erase tool. Photoshop seems to do a better job from what I see in your video,.
I agree with you. I have Luminar Neo, but Photoshop seems to do an outstanding job.
I wonder if he made a selection of that rat's nest of wires then used generative ai if ai could repair it.
It probably world
Funny and interesting ... people removal is also quite good.
photoshopCAFE, awesome content keep up the amazing content
Thanks, will do!
As Darth Vader said impressive, most impressive
lol
colorizethis AI fixes this. Is this IMPOSSIBLE for Photoshop?
Why don't I have this feature in my photoshop.I get the remove tool, and there are no "find distraction" options. Just the brush option. I am using V25.13
It's a new feature currently in PS Beta, you need to install the beta version...and watch the whole video, not skip through ;))
photoshopCAFE, great video I really liked it
Thanks
Dig the hat Colin!!! :)
Thanks, once again, for enlightening me on a feature I didn't know about!!!
