The main purpose of ID photos is identification, so when retouching ID photos, only small blemishes such as acne or red spots will be slightly removed to avoid excessive skin polishing, which will cause the skin texture to disappear. Important identifying features such as moles and birthmarks must be retained to ensure that the photos comply with regulations and maintain authenticity.

ID photo retouching is mainly about making subtle symmetry corrections, because everyone's facial features are usually somewhat asymmetrical.
