SUMMARY
Photoshop, Capture One, and Evoto have introduced slider-based tools for portrait blemish removal, streamlining the initial cleanup process. The effectiveness of these tools varies, particularly with freckles, as each application interprets what constitutes a blemish and how much natural skin texture to preserve differently. Testing on diverse skin tones and conditions reveals that Photoshop retains more original texture, Evoto offers a smoother, more automated result, and Capture One requires careful masking to protect desired features.
