Retouch tool -- WHY WHY WHY? Any updates?

Just gone back to my art and seen that the retouch tool has gone. MADNESS. Any updates anyone on this very bad move?

Are you running macOS 14.6 Sonoma as your signature suggests? Retouch should be there.

Or are you running macOS 15 Sequoia? In Sequoia, Retouch has been replaced with Clean Up,

which is accessed in the Menu Bar in Edit mode. Clean Up is way more powerful, but rather less subtle, and most of us would like to have both. Since Clean Up now shows a whole menu with only one option, I have hope that there will be more tools, including Retouch, but no one knows. Leave feedback for Apple here:
