Kris,
Can we still be informal using “Kris,” or, as Moderator, is there a special title we should use? ;>)
Lightroom mobile has the clone and healing brush tools and most of the other features of Lightroom Classic - or whatever they can the desktop version. The Photoshop mobile also has a raft of features. Using both on an iPad Pro with the touch pen makes processing easy.
Some apps provide control of the camera in the iPhone. The most useful is ProPhoto.
You bring an interesting point about the scar. Ravi S. Hirekaturravi brings up a wonderful notion of wabi sabi in his comment about my Yu Garden Yu Garden 豫园 Shanghai, China (Rework 2) image. That notion has been rolling around in my head since I read the comment. I’m looking forward to when it hits my eye when a camera is in hand.
Namaste
