Blemish Removal
The process of removing temporary skin imperfections like acne, scars, or spots from portrait photographs.
Blemish removal is the most common portrait retouching task. The goal is to remove temporary imperfections while preserving permanent features like freckles and moles that are part of the subject's identity. Professional retouchers distinguish between characteristics (keep) and conditions (remove). Traditional tools like the spot healing brush work well for individual blemishes but become tedious for extensive corrections. AI-powered blemish removal can process an entire face in seconds, identifying and correcting acne, redness, dark spots, and other temporary imperfections while maintaining natural skin texture and the subject's recognizable features. Magic Eraser handles blemish removal as part of its object removal capability.
