BIG SUR HAS has enabled the macOS Photos app to catch up with the iOS version, especially in the area of video editing.You can now adjust a clip to fix problems with color and tone directly in the macOS version instead of having to export clips to iMovie for grading purposes.
Big Sur’s Photos app also sees an improvement to the Retouch tool. In older versions of Photos, the Retouch tool could struggle to replace unwanted objects with suitable pixels. Retouched areas could look blurry or contain unsuitable pixels. The enhanced Retouch tool benefits from machine learning to help it replace unwanted objects with appropriate adjacent pixels. This helps you remove objects quickly, without having to manually define the sampled area.
