Intelligent Correction, Not Just Deletion
Our tool does more than just cover up a bright spot. It intelligently analyzes the surrounding pixels, color, and texture to reconstruct the area hidden beneath the highlight. This process preserves the original detail and shape of the subject, whether it’s the gentle curve of a metallic object or the subtle texture of skin. The result is a seamless edit that looks as though the photo was captured in perfect lighting conditions, not a retouched image with blurry or artificial-looking patches.
