@Celts88 of course! for Remy’s case, we don’t know what issue he has yet as we haven’t troubleshooted together as he has a deadline. We will troubleshoot with him! ---

Strange, unexpected result of the Remove object function. I wanted to do something with it. I used Remove object with a white-gray background using Brush-Object selection. The selection was quite good, I manually removed something in the lower part. It somehow changed the background, but that’s secondary. The main thing is the strange change in the guy standing there. His head changed, he lost his ears, his arms are also somehow different, and you can also notice the change in the chair. I didn’t expect that at all. Why was it done like that? So then the question arises: Which of the two guys is actually the father of the little girl?! ![Remove object clipboard](https://community-cdn.topazlabs.com/original/3X/a/8/a8e83af531a9d4cdee84d102a59340a5c5e089d3.jpeg) ---

What selection did you have? Can you send screenshot? ---

Thanks! The intended use of the Remove Object tool is not this. It would be to remove let’s say, the dust on the floor, or the patch of dirt lower screen left. See the best practices section here that mention selections of 25% of the images are not recommended as well: [Remove Object | Topaz Photo AI](https://docs.topazlabs.com/photo-ai/enhancements/remove-object) We have a background removal feature request that is popular and the development team will consider all the feature requests when planning for future updates, however that is not the intended use of the tool. ---

I understand, thanks for the explanation. I’ll use something else for the background for now. ---

I’ve seen a Youtube video about PhotoAI 3.5 [Photo AI 3.5 update](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3qLpHJrwmk&ab_channel=TopazLabs) But I don’t see it here for download. When it will be released? ---

They’ve jumped the gun with the video being released before the actual update 🙃 ---

yes ahah Object is not a background 🙂 but Background removal is something the development team is contemplating. To see! Our Photo AI 3.5.0 Youtube update video went out a little early (the build was delayed to today) - stay tuned! ---
