How Do I Edit a Spot on My iPhone?

Published in Photo Editing 2 mins read

To edit out a spot (like a blemish or unwanted object) on your iPhone photo, you can use a photo editing app designed for this purpose. Here's a general process using an app like TouchRetouch, which is specifically designed for removing unwanted content from photos:

Steps to Remove Spots Using TouchRetouch (Example):

  1. Download and Open TouchRetouch: Get TouchRetouch from the App Store and open it on your iPhone.

  2. Select Your Photo: Tap "Albums" to access your photos and select the photo you want to edit.

  3. Choose Object Removal Tool: In the tool menu (usually located at the bottom of the screen), select "Object Removal."

  4. Identify the Spot: You'll generally have two options for selecting the spot:

    • Brush Tool: Use the Brush tool to paint over the unwanted spot or object. Adjust the brush size for better precision.
    • Lasso Tool: Use the Lasso tool to draw a selection around the spot or object you want to remove.
  5. Remove the Spot: Once the spot is selected, the app will intelligently fill in the area with surrounding pixels, effectively removing the spot. Tap "Go" or a similar button to initiate the removal process.

  6. Fine-Tune (If Needed): If the initial removal isn't perfect, you can use the tool again or try a different selection method.

  7. Save Your Edited Photo: Once you're satisfied, save the edited photo to your camera roll.

Alternative Apps for Spot Removal:

Many other photo editing apps offer similar spot removal or healing tools. Some popular options include:

  • Snapseed (Free): Offers a "Healing" tool for removing blemishes and imperfections.
  • Adobe Lightroom Mobile (Subscription): Includes a powerful "Healing Brush" for more advanced spot removal.
  • Pixelmator Photo: A robust photo editor with retouching capabilities.

The specific steps and tool names may vary depending on the app you choose. Consult the app's help documentation or tutorials for detailed instructions.
