P: Blemish Removal In-App Feedback (Camera Raw)

This post applies to Camera Raw and is the primary feedback thread for the Blemish Removal feature.

 

Blemish Removal can be found in the Remove edit panel for Camera Raw. Blemish Removal helps automatically remove distracting skin blemishes, such as acne and other temporary imperfections, while allowing you to tune the appearance of permanent marks, such as freckles and moles.

 

Once enabled, your image will be scanned for people, and any detected blemishes will be automatically removed. For refinement, you can adjust the result using the Amount and Fade sliders, choose which person the removal applies to, and restore any areas you'd prefer to keep. Batch removal is also supported; simply select the "Blemish" checkbox under "Remove" in the copy settings dialog.

 

We would love to hear your feedback on Blemish Removal! Please give it a try and let us know what you think:

  • How is it useful?
  • How could it be more useful?
  • What could we do to improve your experience?

 

Josh Bury, Camera Raw Engineering

    I think they are more than there.  With the refine, amount, and fade switches, it does the job really well, as opposed to using the healing brush all day.  I like the healing brush, but this blemish removal does recognize the flaws immediately.  You can also isolate natural birthmarks and keep them if you want.  Check out this thorough tutorial that explains this in apples and oranges.

    Very useful tool. Wish it had an option to eliminate unwanted reflections on the face of the subject.
