Experienced editors can adjust exposure, HSL, curves, and tone by hand, or build the edit with layers and masks. Adjustment layers and layer masks are non-destructive, so you can change an edit later without starting over.
They cover three jobs:
▶ Create: Generate images from a text prompt, turn photos into videos, animate a character with motion from a video clip, and try on outfits.

▶ Retouch: Smooth skin, reshape faces and bodies, and even out skin tones.
