In automated product photography, AI photo retouching is often the last manual step between a good capture and a publish-ready image. Removing a stray reflection, evening out colors, cleaning up a small imperfection - it's detailed work, and at catalog scale it adds up fast. But what if you could handle all the repetitive cleanup automatically?
That's why we've added AI Retoucher to Orbitvu Station, in the AI Toolkit - to take more of the manual retouching off your hands without taking it out of your control.
In this article, you'll learn what AI Retoucher does, how it fits into your Orbitvu Station workflow, and how to use it step by step. We'll also cover how AI photo retouching works, what it can fix, and whether you need editing skills to use it.
Key takeaways on AI photo retouching
Orbitvu's AI Retoucher automatically removes reflections, fixes colors, and cleans up imperfections in your captured images.
You guide the result with a saved preset or a prompt - no editing or Photoshop skills needed.
It's built into the Edit tab in Orbitvu Station, part of the AI Toolkit alongside AI Masking and AI OCR.
Orbitvu's AI Retoucher: what are its key features and capabilities?
Let's start with the definition. AI Retoucher is a fully automated photo editing tool that enhances your captured images - removing unwanted reflections, cleaning up imperfections, and adjusting colors - while you guide the result with prompts.
So how does AI photo retouching work, and what can you expect from it? Here are the key features.
Built into your Edit workflow
AI Retoucher is in the new AI Toolkit in the Edit tab, so you retouch your captured images right where you already work - no jumping between applications, no exporting and re-importing. Everything stays in one Orbitvu workflow.
Prompt control, saved as presets
This is what sets AI Retoucher apart. Instead of editing by hand, you can select a retouch preset (with a soft or heavy effect) and get the process done. You can also edit the preset with a prompt, and the tool applies it automatically. Found a look that works? Reuse it across your catalog, so every product gets the same treatment without starting from scratch.
Removes the things that slow retouching down
AI Retoucher targets the most common, most repetitive fixes: unwanted reflections, small imperfections, and colors that need adjusting. The work that used to eat up your retouchers' time now happens automatically.
Clearly marked, so you always know what's been retouched
Every image processed by AI Retoucher carries an AI-generated indicator. Your team can see at a glance which assets have been retouched and which are straight from capture - useful for review, quality control, and keeping your catalog honest.

Important note: All the AI tools are available exclusively for subscription users.
AI photo retouching is an automated way to enhance images - removing reflections, correcting color, and cleaning up small imperfections - without manual editing. Instead of working pixel by pixel, you guide the tool with a prompt or use a saved preset, and it applies the changes for you. For product photography, that means consistent, polished images at catalog scale with far less hands-on work.
What are the benefits of AI photo retouching tools?
Less manual work: the repetitive cleanup - reflections, color, minor imperfections - happens automatically.
Consistent results: save the retouching settings as a preset and apply it across every product for a cohesive catalog.
Faster turnaround: retouching, which used to be a challenge, no longer holds up publishing.
More time for creative work: your team focuses on styling and presentation, not repetitive fixes.
Full transparency: every retouched image is clearly marked, so you always know what's been processed.
AI photo retouching handles the bulk of everyday fixes well - reflections, color adjustments, and small imperfections on clean, well-defined products. More complex cases, like heavy reflections on glass or intricate detail, may still need some manual touch-ups.
Do I need editing or Photoshop skills to use AI Retoucher?
No. AI Retoucher is built for anyone on your team. You don't need retouching experience or design software - you describe the result you want, or pick a saved preset, and the tool does the work. That means your studio operators, content team, or marketing coordinators can produce polished images without waiting on a specialist.
What can AI Retoucher fix?
Reflections: remove unwanted reflections from glossy or reflective products.
Color: adjust and even out colors for a consistent look across a catalog.
Imperfections: clean up small marks and distractions that would otherwise need manual editing.
Catalog consistency: apply the same saved preset across hundreds of products, so every image matches.
Across all of these, the value is the same: AI Retoucher takes the repetitive editing off your team's plate so they can focus on the work that needs a human eye.
Industry 4.0 made data the backbone of manufacturing. Automated photography extends that logic to visual documentation - consistent, traceable, AI-ready image records that support quality control, compliance, and e-commerce from a single capture session.
