- Recover much more detail from underexposed or overexposed photos with updated Shadows and Highlights adjustments
- Increase Clarity to subtly enhance image texture and colors, making the image look sharper and clearer overall, or reduce clarity to make the image look smoother
- Enhance Texture to subtly add contrast to images, making fine detail pop, or reduce texture to smooth out the image
- Adjust fine detail exclusively in the shadows, midtones, and highlights with the new Selective Clarity adjustment
