Retouching is not just about achieving perfection; it’s also about storytelling. Enhancing colors, adding dramatic effects, or creating specific moods can help convey the intended message and emotion of the photograph, transforming a simple snapshot into a compelling piece of visual art. Despite its benefits, over-retouching can lead to unrealistic standards of beauty and authenticity, making it important for photographers to strike a balance. Thoughtful retouching enhances both the technical quality and the storytelling aspect of photographs, making each image a true work of art.
