Removing Distractions in Lightroom Vs Luminar, PhotoLab and Affinity
In this beginner-friendly editing comparison, I walk photographers through one of the most common frustrations: removing unwanted people and distractions from photos, without needing to touch Photoshop. Using a real-world example from a busy cherry-picking shoot with Nicola Paige, I compare how the latest Adobe Lightroom Classic handles object and people removal against Luminar Neo, DxO PhotoLab, and Affinity Photo. Aimed especially at newer photographers and anyone who dislikes complex Photoshop workflows, this video breaks down speed, accuracy, and real results when cleaning up busy backgrounds, photobombers, and everyday distractions. You’ll see clear before-and-after comparisons, honest pros and cons of each program, and why Lightroom’s Remove tool has become one of the most powerful all-in-one solutions for fast, clean edits. If you’re weighing up software options, concerned about subscription pricing, or just want the easiest way to tidy up your images, this practical comparison will help you decide what editing tool actually gets the job done.
