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 looks right the first time. Retouch works the way a photo editor is supposed to: every change lands on its own layer, with its own mask, that you can toggle, adjust or delete without ever touching the original. Mask an area and describe the change, or use Enhance area, the one-click fix for a render that has gone soft or mechanically repetitive in brick, tile or planting. Sixteen rail tools, real adjustment layers and a Camera Raw style grade sit underneath it, so it is a genuine editor rather than a single trick with a layers panel bolted on.

Every change is a layer.

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, or delete it. The original is never touched.

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 real grade, not relabelled sliders

Light, colour, a draggable point curve on RGB and each channel, eight HSL hue bands, and effects, all 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 has gone mechanical, brick, roof tiles, glazing bars, paving or planting, and Enhance area re-renders just that patch at higher resolution and composites it back seamlessly. No prompt, no change to composition or materials. It is the tool for the specific failure image models make worst, and it takes one click.

Open Retouch

Material swap and re-light without redrawing.

Attach a material reference, select an area, and the surface there matches the reference's colour and pattern with geometry and lighting untouched. Six one-click time-of-day and weather presets regenerate the whole document while keeping the same building, each landing as its own toggleable layer.

A layer stack that behaves like a real one.

Twelve blend modes, layer masks you paint directly 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, reorderable and maskable throughout.

A grade you can trust, and a free Healing Brush.

The Adjust panel is a real Camera Raw style grade, Light, Colour, curves and HSL bands, working on a maskable adjustment layer. Ten one-click presets land as their own named adjustment layers rather than baking. The Healing Brush is free, instant and needs no prompt, Alt-click a source and paint the seam away.

What Retouch gives you as a piece of software.

Mask and prompt generative fill

Paint a mask or select by description, describe the change, and it lands on a real new layer, not 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 a real slice of what an architect uses Photoshop for on a render or a site photograph: masking, generative fill, layers, adjustment layers, a Camera Raw style grade, and sixteen rail tools with the same shortcut letters. It does not have Photoshop's plugin ecosystem or every specialist tool a photography studio would want. For architectural retouching and material or lighting changes on renders, it is built to do the job outright rather than as a lighter substitute.
