    Yet another informative lesson Gary. A question: When you say " I've got Undo right here or just Reset the entire thing to take away all the changes." I did not see, nor understand where the Undo right here is located. I have an iPhone 15 pro max 18.1. Thanks, Tom

    Hi! Even after updating to Sequoia 15.1.1, the Retouch Tool is not back and the Clean Up tool still keeps causing pixellation on anything that you try to retouch. Any ideia of when Apple will fix it?

    Hi Gary,
    I went up to my menu and the Edit option. I tried to send you a screen shot of the menu as I see it,but apparently I am not allowed to do this. The menu I see is nothing like what you describe. I am running Sequoia 15.1.1 If I select a photo and go up to edit, my only options are copy, select all, deselect all, find, font, writing tools, spelling and grammer, autofill, start dictation, Emoji & symbols. Is there something in settings I need to fix?

    Tom: Look closely at that point in the video and you'll see I move to the top left and click the button there. Right at 7:42.

    Reinaldo: The Clean Up tool replaces the Retouch tool. To make it work better zoom in more on that area and make the brush "Size" smaller.

    Paul: Sounds like you are going to the Edit MENU instead of using the Edit button. Watch where I am clicking at 0:41.

    When I try to remove blemishes from skin I always get the pixelation.
    Apple calls it a safety feature. Can this be disabled?

    Jim: Not sure what you mean. If you zoom in enough, you'll see pixels. Using "Clean Up" can make it worse, but it should look better when you zoom back out. I don't know how the references to "safety feature" comes in here.

    Gary, I updated to Sequoia 15.1 and there is no Clean Up function on the top of the screen, next to the other functions.

    Peter: Did you check to see if your Mac meets the requirements? I show the link near the start.

    My Mac serial number said it was purchased in 2020, but looks like the unit was actually a 2019 unit. The requirements for Mac showed it needed M1 or later. My processor says 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i3, so am to assume although I was able to update to Sequoia 15.1.1, it doesn't mean anything.
    Frustrating when Apple develops software updates that are not functional in the device you own.

    Peter: Right, you have an Intel processor, not an Apple Silicon processor (M1, M2, etc).
    What would the alternative be for Apple though? If they develop a feature that uses the tech on the Apple Silicon processors, then should they not release it because people with older Macs can't use it?
