A responsible final check for authorized image cleanup

A responsible final check for authorized image cleanup

Only edit an image you own or have explicit permission to modify. Preserve the untouched source and review the result before publishing.

Final review checklist

• Inspect the repaired boundary at 100% zoom.

• Compare texture, color, grain, lines, reflections, and shadows.

• Check faces, hands, letters, and logos for distortion.

• Zoom out and confirm that the repair does not attract attention.

• Export to a new filename and keep a short permission record.
