What you get

You can remove distractions and keep attention on your photo’s subject.

TouchRetouch gives you a way to rescue photos with unwanted details, rather than crop away something you wanted to keep. You can remove a trash can, photobomber, logo, or skin blemish. For distracting wires, you only need to trace part of the line to have the app identify and remove its full shape.

When a cleanup needs more control, you can copy pixels from another area with Clone Stamp to cover a problem spot or duplicate an object. You can also crop your image to emphasize the subject, then adjust brightness, contrast, warmth, saturation, highlights, and sharpness before posting or printing.

You can work with JPG, TIFF, PNG, and RAW files, including images straight from your camera. If you keep your pictures in Apple Photos, you can use the extension to retouch them there without opening the separate editor for many edits.

  • Keep the shot you wanted

    You can remove distracting objects without cropping out the surrounding scene.

  • Clear wires from views

    You trace part of a power line so the app can identify and remove the whole line.

  • Tidy up portraits

    You can remove pimples, blemishes, and small spots with click-based edits.

  • Repair tricky areas

    You can borrow pixels from elsewhere in your photo to cover unwanted details or duplicate objects.

  • Finish photos for sharing

    You can refine the crop, brightness, contrast, and color before posting online or printing.

Best for

  • You want to remove distractions from travel photos
  • You need quick blemish cleanup for portraits
  • You want to retouch pictures within Apple Photos

Skip it if

You don’t need it if you only want to organize or view photos rather than change their contents or appearance.
