We lose conversion because composites look staged. Across recent composites, identify the recurring seam that breaks believability and recommend one compositing standard — order of operations and the single quality gate — that will make our composites consistently pass the brand director's eye and perform better in ads.

Questions people actually ask

with the jobs and tasks they touch

Use the Spot Healing Brush or the Healing Brush tool to gently reduce blemishes. Adjust the opacity to avoid over-softening, and blend carefully to keep skin texture realistic.

You should do this after basic adjustments like exposure and color correction. It's best to retouch the skin at the end so you don't lose the natural look created earlier.

Apply the retouch gradually using low opacity brushes. Zoom in and work on small areas, checking frequently to keep skin texture and avoid a plastic look.

Over-blurring or removing all skin texture, making the person look fake or plastic. Always aim for subtle changes and keep details like pores and fine lines.

Portrait photographers and social media editors often do this to make subjects look polished but natural.

AI tools can speed up the process and improve consistency but might remove too much detail or make skin look unnatural. Manual touch-up is still needed for perfect results.

Soften Blemishes targets specific spots or flaws, while Smoothing Skin Tone evens out overall skin color and texture. They are often used together in retouching.
