Image editing and retouching
Adjusting, compositing and retouching photographs.
Task automation exposure
High exposure
Exposure basis
[v4/median] score 65 (raw 65 | A 65 / B 90 / C 35 | modality: other) AI‑enhanced tools like Photoshop’s Neural Filters and generative fill can handle most standard adjustments, basic compositing, and routine retouching, but nuanced artistic decisions and high‑precision composites still require human oversight. (capable: Adobe Photoshop (AI features such as Neural Filters, Generative Fill))

How much of this task's output current AI can produce or substantially assist.
Best current model strength on any capability this task requires.
This is an assessment of technical feasibility plus published evidence - not a forecast. Even fully automatable tasks are often not automated, because of cost, verification, liability, regulation or the fact that the task is bundled with other work.
