I use this if it’s really bad like this or if just the usual dust and sparkles I use a laser soft dust removal tool. But that also probably make the image fake 😂😂😂😂

In my humble opinion you just cleaned it up. Nothing materially has changed. You haven’t added or removed anything that changes the scene. I’m not a “get off my lawn” or editorial journalist so my position is as long as you don’t use Ai to fake a photo using these types of tools are normal

Phew I was starting to think I was turning into an AI 🤖 🤣🤣 Total agreement on this, cleaning up is perfectly fine. However if someone wants to go further that’s up to them. I use AI all the time to create satire, but it’s obvious it’s AI and all the platforms label it as such, which is fair.
