Missing retouches in photos on my MacBook Pro

I am absolutely furious that my retouch is gone. I retouched ALL my photos in some small or large sort of way. Why is it gone???

I'm sorry you're furious, and no one here is responsible for that or can do anything about it. Including that information, at best, means you're less likely to get a useful response and, at worst, encourages a bunch of useless angry posts.


Retouch is not exactly gone-- it's been renamed "Clean Up" and given more AI capability, One difference is that, when you zoom in, the little circle stays the same screen size ( it gets smaller relative to the picture ) so that you can do more detail. I've just used it to remove some very tiny scratches from an 1853 tintype and, so far, I've found it to work pretty well at the stuff that retouch did, and it offers more capability for larger things. It still needs work, I think. For instance, it would be nice to have a separate cloning took, and maybe a separate scratch/spot tool.
