Retouching Tools Retouching tools are software features or applications designed to enhance, correct, or manipulate digital images by adjusting various aspects of their appearance, such as color, tone, texture, and composition. These tools are commonly found in photo editing software such as Adobe Photoshop, Affinity Photo, GIMP, and Capture One, among others. Retouching tools include brushes, healing brushes, cloning tools, spot healing tools, adjustment layers, filters, and masks, among others.
They enable photographers, designers, and digital artists to remove imperfections, enhance details, adjust exposure, correct color balance, remove distractions, and refine overall image quality. Retouching tools allow for precise and selective adjustments, enabling users to target specific areas of an image while preserving the integrity of the original photograph. Professional retouching requires a combination of technical skill, artistic vision, and attention to detail to achieve natural-looking results that enhance the visual impact and storytelling potential of the image. |
