Blurring or smudging the area, which creates obvious edits. Always sample from nearby textures and avoid over-blending to keep it smooth.

Photo retouchers or digital artists often remove distracting elements to clean up commercial or portrait images.

Yes, it’s similar, but here you focus specifically on small, high-visibility flaws that draw attention. Cleaning behind a subject aims to make the scene smooth overall.
