# Before-and-After Review Protocol

For authorized image cleanup, compare the original and edited file side by side.

- Check that important edges have not been softened.
- Look for cloned texture patterns.
- Inspect gradients for bands or abrupt color changes.
- Review the full image, not only the repaired region.
- Keep the original file for traceability.

A practical browser tool is [AI Remove Watermark](https://airemovewatermark.net/). Use it only on images you have the right to edit.
