Photographer Clifford Pickett from iPhone Editing Academy recently showcased an app that has proven indispensable for cleaning up photos: Touch Retouch. If you’ve seen the video tutorial, you’ll know how the application transforms images by seamlessly removing unwanted distractions. Here are the significant takeaways from the tutorial.

1. Easy Access and Integration:

• With a single click, you can import photos from your gallery to the Touch Retouch app.
• The app launches instantly and conveniently opens the chosen photo.

2. The Power of Lines:

• Spot an unsightly power line or cable in your image? The “Lines” tool helps eliminate it.
• In some cases, particularly with thicker cables, adjusting the line thickness setting ensures optimal results.
• With Touch Retouch, often just highlighting a portion of the line is enough, and the app smartly completes the rest.

3. Object Removal with Precision:

• The “Objects” tool lets you paint over unwanted objects and swiftly erase them.
• A simple tap on “Go” and distractions vanish, making your main subject stand out even more.

4. Detailed Clean-Up:

• Zooming in allows for more accurate editing, especially for smaller distractions or blemishes.
• With the tap and hold feature on the top right icon, you can easily compare the original image to the edited one, revealing the profound impact of your retouching.

5. Export in Preferred Format:

• Once done, you can export your cleaned-up image directly to your camera roll.
• For iPhone users, the default export format is HEIC, though Touch Retouch allows customizations for your preferences.

6. Advanced Removal – Fences and Meshes:

• A seemingly complicated task, like removing a fence, becomes astonishingly easy with the “Meshes” tool.
• The tool detects and highlights the fence, and with adjustments to the sensitivity slider, you can perfect the selection. A simple tap and the entire fence disappears!

The Magic Touch of Touch Retouch:

Touch Retouch offers a more simplified experience than other software like Photoshop, especially for those tasks that would be extremely tedious. For photographers – whether professional or hobbyists – this tool can be a game-changer.
