Learn how you can use AI-powered Blemish Removal to automatically remove skin blemishes, freckles, and other spots from your photos.
Portraits often come with small spots or marks like blemishes, moles, or a scattering of freckles that you may want to soften, adjust, or remove entirely. The AI-powered Blemish Removal tool detects these marks in a photo and automatically clears them in just a few clicks.
Remove blemishes automatically
In the Distraction Removal section, expand the Blemishes panel, and then select Apply. Lightroom Classic detects blemishes and natural marks on the faces in the photo and applies the removal.
Use the following sliders to adjust the result:
- Blemishes: Removes temporary blemishes such as acne and sores. A higher value of 100 removes all detected blemishes; a lower value only removes prominent blemishes.
- Natural Marks: Adjusts the visibility of moles and freckles. The default value of 50 partially fades all permanent marks; drag the slider to 100 to fade the marks further.
If the photo contains multiple people, select a face to adjust it individually or select All People to apply the same settings to all detected faces.
To restore the original skin details, select the Reset option.
Refine blemish removal
To manually brush over specific areas and fine-tune the blemish removal, do the following:
In the Blemishes Removal panel, select Refine, and then use the Size slider to adjust the brush size.
Select one of the following options and brush over the area you want to refine:
- Restore: Restores the original detail. Use this option to restore details you want to retain, such as a beauty mark or a freckle.
- Remove: Removes a blemish, mole, or mark that wasn't detected automatically.
If the photo contains multiple people, select a face to adjust it individually. To apply the same settings to every detected face, select All People.
To remove all refinements applied to the photo, select Clear.
Once you have the the changes you want, select Apply.
