Transfer the same non-destructive method to product retouching:
remove scratches, dust, and scuffs with Clone Stamp and Healing Brush
on Smart Objects, then color-correct with Curves layers.

Compare AI Remove vs manual cleanup and evaluate which method preserves
texture and edge detail better.

Use if time permits.

Deliverables

  • 1 layered PSD with named cleanup and color-correction groups
  • 1 short comparison note (AI vs manual, 3-5 lines)
