Purpose and workflow
Image Cleanup is the general retouching workspace for small distractions—not another watermark page. It is suited to controlled repairs where nearby texture provides enough context.
Follow its shape
Use a narrow brush for thin scratches and wires; include the full blemish without excessive padding.
Check texture continuity
Inspect grain, repeating patterns, and edges at 100% before moving to the next repair.
Appropriate examples
Scan restoration
Reduce isolated dust and narrow scratches on a scanned family photo while keeping original texture visible.
Outdoor distraction
Clean a thin overhead wire or small piece of litter from your own photograph.
Product-photo dust
Remove a sensor spot or small surface blemish from an authorized product image.
Limits to expect
- The tool does not reconstruct historically accurate detail in damaged scans.
- Large object removal can create repeated or smeared textures.
- Repairs crossing faces, hands, text, or strong geometry need extra caution.

FAQ
Answers about privacy, cleanup modes, and allowed use.
What is image cleanup best for?
It works best on small isolated distractions such as dust, sensor spots, thin wires, scan scratches, and minor background objects.
Can it remove a large person or vehicle?
Large subjects require reconstructing too much missing detail and may produce obvious artifacts. This page is optimized for smaller cleanup regions.
How do I repair an old scanned photo?
Work scratch by scratch with a narrow brush. Preserve faces, borders, and original grain rather than masking a large area at once.
Will cleanup restore detail that was never captured?
No. Repair estimates pixels from surrounding context; it cannot recover authentic detail that is absent from the source.
