Lightroom/Photoshop is very good. Unfortunately, it is available only by subscription, rent vs buy. The good news is that they are making constant upgrades to the programs and you get upgrades as soon as they are released. The remove tool with generative AI is absolutely amazing. Just paint the area you want removed and it will automatically fill in the area where an object is removed. It's not perfect, and it will give you different options to choose from, but it is incredibly easy to use, and normally the removal is invisible.
There is a learning curve, like all powerful software.
