Adobe Photoshop 2026
The complete 2026 raster editor with the full generative model set switched on.
Automatic image correction built for volume, applying exposure, colour, and skin corrections across thousands of photographs with consistent results and no per image adjustment.
Overview
Perfectly Clear exists for the photographer who comes back from a job with two thousand frames and needs every one of them to look right. It analyses each image individually and applies exposure, contrast, colour balance, and detail corrections tuned to that specific frame, rather than pushing a fixed set of adjustments across the whole batch.
The correction model is built around how human vision actually works rather than around histogram mathematics, which is why the output tends to look natural rather than processed. Shadows open without going grey, highlights recover without the halo edges that give away tone mapping, and colour comes back to something that matches what you remember seeing rather than what the sensor recorded.
The portrait tools are the reason the volume market uses it. Skin smoothing that keeps texture, blemish removal, eye enhancement, teeth whitening, and catchlight work applied automatically after face and feature detection. On a school or event job covering hundreds of subjects, retouching that would take a week is finished during a lunch break.
WorkBench is the standalone application rather than the plugin, which means the batch engine is fully exposed. Presets combine any set of corrections, watched folders process automatically as images arrive, output can be written in several formats and sizes simultaneously, and every correction remains adjustable per image if a particular frame needs attention.
This build includes the full correction engine, every preset group, the portrait and detail modules, and the plugin bridges for the main host applications so the same corrections can be applied from inside an existing workflow.
Feature set
Every frame is analysed individually, so corrections suit that photograph rather than the batch average.
Face and feature detection driving skin, eye, and blemish work that keeps texture rather than plastering over it.
Watched folders, simultaneous multi format output, and unattended processing of very large jobs.
A correction model built around human vision, which avoids the processed look of histogram driven tools.
Combine any set of corrections into a named preset and apply it across a job with per image override.
The same engine available inside the main editing applications for workflows already built around them.
