Apple vs Adobe at AI photo clean up: Apple is clearly better


Apple Photos added a new Clean Up feature that competes directly against Adobe AI tools in ACR and Lightroom. So, which one is better?

Since Adobe just updated Photoshop and its Firefly AI model, we figured now was a great time to see how these two widely available removal tools fare against each other. Clean Up also specifically recognized the boat, which is why the area it fills with generated pixels is smaller than the one Adobe produced even though I highlighted the same space on each platform. That’s probably because Apple’s system is very focused on removal, which is easier to code and provides a more consistent result compared to Adobe’s which is running on an AI model that also generates images out of thin air.
