Where could I find Clean Up Edit Photo?

Hello,


I can’t find the “Clean Up Edit Photo” option on my iMac M3 (Sequoia 15.2). I’ve attached a picture for reference.. Thank you very much for your help.

iMac 24″

I think that I, too, expected a button or something, but what you see is everything you need:

You set the size of the brush you want to use, and then sweep it over (or around) things you would like to vanish.

No other buttons necessary. Here, I've just use the brush to smear this guy's face, and I haven't yet lifted the mouse button when I took the screenshot. When I release, his face pixelates rather than vanishes-- this is for publishing without identity. But objects and whole people get erased and replaced by the background.

Nice Flower! The first picture is not in Edit Mode. To edit a picture, you select it and hit Return. (Or you could choose Image>Show Edit Tools in the menu bar.)

The Edit tools are along the right side, and the Editing screens are shown at the top.

  1. Adjust is the one that you enter first, with controls for contrast, brightness, shadows, and so on
  2. Filter I never use.
  3. Crop lets you cut off edges to help focus on the subject
  4. Clean Up gives you the ability to remove spots or people or objects. That's the one you're looking for!


I hope this helps!
