SUMMARY
The new blemish removal tool in Adobe Camera Raw uses AI to subtly clean skin, avoiding the plastic look often associated with retouching. Users can control the extent of the edits using 'amount' and 'fade' sliders, with 'amount' adjusting texture and 'fade' refining the removal of features like moles. Anthony Morganti demonstrates how to use the tool non-destructively by converting layers to smart objects in Photoshop, ensuring edits remain editable. This AI-driven approach, where software makes an initial pass and users fine-tune results, is becoming a pattern in Adobe's creative suite.
