How to disable filters while editing pictures in Photos?

When I try to edit photos in the photos app of my naturist pictures to remove blemishes a pop up says safe filter applied and the area is blurred but with huge pixels. I’ve tried turning off the relevant security features but to no avail.


is there any way to disable this annoying feature?


i didn’t have this issue before updating to latest version.

There is none. Safety Filter is something applied by the included (free) Photos app and that app is written by Apple. They'll need to develop a less sensitive filter.


Until they choose to, your best option would be to use photo editor from a less stodgy company that allows edits deemed "unsafe".
