Retouch.

A real layer stack, with the fix for a render that has gone soft or repetitive.

Most AI photo tools bake a change straight into the pixels and hope it lands first time. Retouch works the way a photo editor is supposed to: every change arrives on its own layer, with its own mask, and you can toggle it, adjust it or bin it without ever touching the original. Mask an area and describe what you want. Or use Enhance area, the one-click fix for a render that's gone soft or mechanically repetitive in brick, tile or planting. Underneath sit sixteen rail tools, real adjustment layers and a Camera Raw style grade, so you get a genuine editor rather than one trick with a layers panel bolted on.

Every change is a layer.

Nothing is baked in

Nothing is baked in

Mask an area, describe the change, and it renders onto a genuine new layer with real transparency. Toggle it, mask it further, bin it. Your original is never touched.

The rail you already know

The rail you already know

Move, Marquee, Lasso, Crop, Brush, Eraser, Clone Stamp, Dodge and Burn, Healing Brush, Fill and Gradient, Magic Wand, Eyedropper, Type, Pen, Hand, Zoom, with the same shortcut letters a Photoshop habit already knows.

A grade you can actually work in

A grade you can actually work in

Light, colour, a draggable point curve on RGB and on each channel, eight HSL hue bands, effects. It all sits on an adjustment layer, so a look stays non-destructive and maskable.

Enhance area: the fix for a render gone soft.

Select the region that's gone mechanical (brick, roof tiles, glazing bars, paving, planting) and Enhance area re-renders just that patch at higher resolution, then composites it back with a feathered edge. No prompt to write, and nothing about the composition or the materials moves. It's aimed squarely at the one failure image models make worst, and it takes a single click.

Enhance area: the fix for a render gone soft

Material swap and re-light without redrawing.

Attach a material reference, select an area, and the surface takes on that reference's colour and pattern while the geometry and lighting stay where they were. Six one-click time-of-day and weather presets do the same for the whole document, keeping the same building; each one lands as its own layer you can switch off.

Material swap and re-light without redrawing

The layer stack behaves itself.

Twelve blend modes; layer masks you paint straight onto; layer styles (drop shadow, glow, stroke, bevel and emboss); a Transform panel with per-corner perspective distortion; and adjustment layers that affect everything visible below them. All of it reorderable, all of it maskable.

The layer stack behaves itself

The grade, and a Healing Brush that costs nothing.

The Adjust panel is a proper Camera Raw style grade (Light, Colour, curves, HSL bands) working on a maskable adjustment layer. Ten one-click presets each land as their own named adjustment layer rather than baking themselves in. And the Healing Brush is free and instant, with no prompt to write: Alt-click a source, paint, the seam goes.

The grade, and a Healing Brush that costs nothing

What Retouch gives you as a piece of software.

Mask and prompt generative fill

Paint a mask or select by description, say what you want, and it lands on a real new layer rather than a flattened edit.

Enhance area

Re-renders a selected region at higher resolution with no prompt, for a render that has gone soft or repetitive.

Sixteen rail tools

Move, Marquee, Lasso, Crop, Brush, Eraser, Clone Stamp, Dodge and Burn, Healing Brush, Fill and Gradient, Magic Wand, Eyedropper, Type, Pen, Hand, Zoom.

A real layer stack

Twelve blend modes, layer masks, layer styles, a Transform panel with per-corner distortion, and non-destructive adjustment layers.

A Camera Raw style grade

Light, colour, a draggable point curve, eight HSL bands and effects, on a maskable adjustment layer, plus Filters to bake it into one layer.

Material swap and re-light

Match a surface to a reference swatch, or regenerate the whole document at a different time of day or weather, both as toggleable layers.

Select by description

Type what to select, "all the brickwork", and it selects every matching region as an ordinary, editable selection.

A free instant Healing Brush

Alt-click a source and paint, no prompt and no credits, for a blemish or a seam smaller than generative fill is worth.

Ten one-click presets

Desaturate, Invert, Warm, Punch and more, each landing as its own adjustment layer, free and instant.

Frequently asked.

It covers what an architect opens Photoshop for on a render or a site photograph: masking, generative fill, layers, adjustment layers, a Camera Raw style grade, and sixteen rail tools carrying the shortcut letters your hands already know. Two things go further than that habit expects: swap a material or re-light a scene in a single action, on a finished render, and both arrive as reversible layers you can switch off.
