How Does Clean Up Measure Up?
In my previous post for Six Colors, I wrote about why Apple’s Clean Up (and photo retouching tools in general) were a fine tool for people to have in their photo editing toolkits.
Now that Clean Up has been released in iOS 18.1 and macOS 15.1, I’d like to go over some technical things I’ve noticed while using it, and seeing the ways it is similar and different from some other photo retouching tools—like the ones I used in the previous post.
Those apps include the iOS version of Photomator which was recently acquired by Apple, TouchRetouch by ADVAsoft, and Adobe’s Lightroom mobile app.
Enjoy watching me scribble with my finger!
