Apple retouch tool gone after update to Sequioa 15.1

You don't need to retrocede so much, otherwise you'll face performance and compatibility issues soon. Just stick with Sonoma and you should be fine. I don't buy the BS that once you upgrade to Sequoia 15.1 you cannot downgrade. It's a lot of work do so, but it's possible.

ROAlmeida, in response to your question regarding why Retouch wasn't removed from Photos on Intel Macs, I'm thinking it was overlooked or in the works. Intel Macs and Silicon Macs have different features, instruction sets, and architectures, leading to differences in performance and compatibility. I'm sure now that you've raised the question, future updates will be changing on Intel Macs too.

Is the Luminar Neo plug-in still working in Photos 15.1 (or 15.2)?

I was also under the same impression and annoyed. In fact, Apple did a much better job now.. its on the top-bar next to 'Crop' called 'Clean Up'.. I am loving the new AI powered feature

Thanks, ludette48, for the advice. However, I'm unable to find the 'sort by' or 'newest' options anywhere.

This feed continues to be frustrating for its lack of continuity.

PS Does anyone know of an app that has a retouch tool like the one that was eliminated in Iphoto? Please advise.

You have to be online to use the Clean up tool? I turned my router off and it worked for me.

I turned my router off and tried and the Clean Up tool still worked. I’m on a desktop machine.

So true!!!

You had to have Internet for it to be INTALLED, after it is installed, it will work offline.

I do not agree. With Clean'up you will get rid of part of the picture, but its really difficult, impossible to blur a face.
