Retouch Photos

Photo retouching is an area where desktop titans like Photoshop still rule from on high, but some adjustments are possible on the iPad. Although you’re not likely to touch up a portfolio of fashion shots using the iPad alone, it’s possible you’ll want to fix minor blemishes in photos that you plan to share directly from the iPad.

Photogene

Photogene’s Heal tool fixes errors by cloning related areas of a photo. I recommend zooming the image to make it easier to control how the edits are applied.

1. Tap the Retouches button to view the Retouches panel.

2. Tap the Heal button.

3. Double-tap the area you’d like to fix (4.14). Photogene adds a pair of retouch circles: One covers the area you selected (and is marked with a gray X), and the other copies a nearby area.
