Digital photo retouching

Image editing is the process of altering digital photographs or graphics—adjusting color, cropping, removing blemishes, combining elements from multiple sources.

Professional tools like Photoshop have made image editing so accessible that doctored photos are now assumed until proven otherwise.

The verb is usually edit: I need to edit these photos before posting.
