Used it for the first time today and sadly I will not be using this in my workflow because it is very slow. I tried it on a small part of a flower photo to remove a distracting element and patiently waited for over two minutes for it to remove the selected space. It did a good job but to be honest unless you can improve the performance I suggest you spend you development time on something else. There are other tools like Lightroom and Photoshop that are much faster.
I believe LR and PS are faster because they send images to the cloud to process.
Speed well very much depend on your processor. On my M1 Mac it takes a while, but the results are usually pretty good. I am not an Adobe subscriber but will be interested to see what On1’s remove tool is like when v 2025 comes out in a few days’ time
the remove tool in LR and PS can be set to use the cloud or not. In PS the most recent update to the remove tool has setting to run in auto mode which means for a complex remove it may or may not use the cloud but in many cases if the area in question is relatively small it does not. Complex removals should be done using Generative AI which used the cloud all the time.
I suspect that one of the reasons both Super Focus and Remove have separate panels is that Topaz will be offering cloud processing in Photo AI before long. That is already the case with Gigapixel AI.
