Congratulations on your new Mac, Dave. I'll probably change mine next year. This year my brand new toy is the Epson ET-8550 which I bought during black Friday. Thanks for your tutorial, impressive results indeed!
Got an ET-8550 last month and has been great. Looking at getting standard Mac Mini M4 with 512Gb SSD & 24Gb Ram so hoping those specs should keep me going for a few years.
Thanks for the video. I am already using this feature but find it takes long time. I find it much easier and faster with great results using photo app in mac using editing. Try it you will love it. You most of the time don't even need to use the brush, just click any where on the oblect you need to remove and it recognizes it and highlites, you then just remove instantly. I usualy do all the editing in Topaz using built in Topaz plug in on the photo app. After saving the picture to photo app if I have to remove any object , I do so in photo app. Hope all this makes sense.
Dave, I think the removal of the note on the flowers image was only fair- I could see a distinct textureless area where the note had been. It should have taken the pattern from the adjacent wall area. Otherwise, quite good.
Thanks Dave. I would have never given this a look without this vid. I guess I'm wondering how or why you'd use this over what's in photoshop? Plus how does it really look when done? Does the replaced area blend and look like it belongs or does it look a bit smudged like PS? No matter, i'll give this a go later. Thanks again. - tim
It blends very well. Photoshop gives us some monthly credits for generative AI, so this is an alternative when you want to save some Photoshop Generative Credits.
@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly Isn’t Topaz moving to a credit based system also? I considered purchasing during black Friday, but unfortunately they didn’t offer any discounts on Photo AI alone without cloud credits. I’ve spent a small fortune over the last 15 years on software, and getting to a point where I refuse to get forced into more subscriptions.
I have generally avoided using PAI tools other than sharpen, Denoise, and upscaling because I work with RAW files and the other tools won’t save as a dng. But what about the remove object tool? If I add this as part of my general pre work of denoising and sharpening, can I still export a dng?
I gave it some trials on a 40MP Fuji RAW image, lossless compressed. The results can`t compete with results achieved in Adobe camera RAW, respective Photoshop generative fill. Tets run on a MacBook Pro M4 Max. Processing speed comparable to your video. Speed marginal slower with quality slider on 50, but quality didn`change. Fine details like in grass areas are lost , geometric repetitive details are not recovered and destroyed. For my use case unusable.
Dang, you had double the process power my ole pc has now. Bogs down when doing a lot of heavy localized brush work in LRC. To the point that if you don't wait after some brush strokes & even after lifting finger off the left mouse button, a half minute later the adjustment will show up all the way to where I moved the brush to even thow I wasn't making the adjustment. Intel 4 core i7 dell allienware with a nvidea gtx1080 8g graphics card & 64g of ddr4 ram. Seems like the processor does most of the work & that's where the bottleneck is.
Why pay overprice for the Mac name? Is it to punish Bill Gates, or just to flash the small Apple icon? The same goes for Capture One, though extremely expensive for the value, a certain group of brand-fixated individuals pay for it - just to be together and feeel goood. It seems to be a religious thing. Pay Brother and your soul is safe with us... Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
You may not be aware but capture one is very popular with a lot of high end commercial/ advertising studios. It offers some compelling features that make bulk workflows more powerful and efficient and better suited than Adobe for these workflows.
@@roderashe For large workflows you may be right. Prestige is also a factor for "high end" activity. I have quit C1 twice due to an annoying number of distracting bugs combined with very slow fixing rate - plus a traitorous file system, in one case causing an unrecoverable loss of all masks. Darktable is not as polished but very good - and free.
Awesome,thanks for showing us this feature,it helps me a lot!
Thank you so much. This is the first time I know how good is to remove objects, I never tried it before
Thanks Dave. I didn’t know the remove tool was that advanced. I certainly will give it a try!

Excellent! I concur. Really great tool. Thanks for highlighting Dave!
Thanks for the update...I had not used it before. Looks like it may be worth a try.
Thanks Dave. Clear and concise.

Yes I use it.

Thanks for sharing, Dave! Roughly how long did these removals take on your new Mac?
I believe they were under 15 seconds.

Hi Dave. Is this a Generative AI tool or a Content aware tool? That will determine if I can use it for competitions.
I believe it is Generative Ai.
Give it a stress test by removing the deer 🦌
Thanks Dave 👍
Hello Dave. What kind of monitor did you get for your Mac Studio?
I got the Studio Monitor just because I am so used to my iMac. It's a great monitor.
@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly it is. Been very happy with mine.
I'm in the same situation, I have to replace my actually well-functioning iMac from 2017, everything is acting up.

on windows, upgrading a gpu won't help with the remove. I tried it and the gpu is not used. Thanks for the video

I hear you on the slow performance. It can be frustrating.

No, I just like Macs.
@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly Unexplainable love, I thought so Dave ;O)

If have noticed how so many non-Mac users post nonsense like this. We don't care at all what computer or phone you have. If you like it, good for you.
