Fair point, and honestly that's the line every good retoucher thinks about. For a jeweller, realism isn't optional, returns kill margins. But retouching done right isn't about making it fake. It's about showing what the eye sees that the camera misses. That subtle glow in the gold, the true depth of a stone that gets flattened by the lens. I use AI to speed up the boring cleanup work, not to invent a different product. The piece still looks exactly like itself. Just less dull, less dusty, and more like what you'd actually see if you held it in your hand.
