Do you suppose that those oh-so-perfect models in fashion photography and advertising are really that perfect? They're not! The pictures are retouched.
What about those fabulous lighting effects? For the most part, they are enhanced by a skilled computer technician - called an image retoucher or a photographic retoucher.
There is a demand for people who are capable of retouching and enhancing digital photographs, and also for people capable of digitally restoring old and faded print photographs and other documents.
