What's new.

Photo tools

• Background removal cleans the edge: no green fringe left in hair and fur, and less of the ground shadow under the subject. New Edge Cleanup and Remove Color Fringe controls
• Auto-enhance removes color casts instead of adding them, brings back contrast in flat light, and leaves sunsets alone
• Beautify corners and shadows scale with the screenshot, so they stay visible on retina captures, and the preview matches the result

Templates

• Five layout archetypes across six formats (square, 4:5, story, 16:9, link and banner) now lead the gallery: 174 new layouts, 305 built-ins in total, nothing removed
• A before/after family: 576 layouts from one design
• The seven classic social templates redesigned around a real image slot
• A Mac App Store screenshot family for the ASO pack

Agents

• MCP: remove_background takes edge_cleanup and decontaminate; beautify_layer takes padding, corner_radius and shadow_radius
