Can't remove a face

I’ve tried to remove an underexposed face on the side of a picture. Instead of the original dark face I got a new strange bright face. Who is it? Why a new face when trying to remote a face?

Try with different settings for keep/erase area (in this context you would normally want erase).
Also try different mask sizes - sometimes it seems to work better when the mask is slightly larger than the object.

Thank you, but this doesn’t help. It also makes no difference if “recover face” is activated or not.

EDIT: wrong thread

Other items work fine. Only faces seem to cause problems
