photo editor

Picture adjustment software

A photo editor is software for modifying digital images—adjusting color, cropping, removing blemishes, applying filters: I ran the picture through a photo editor before posting it.

The term also refers to a person who selects and prepares photographs for publication, deciding which images appear in a newspaper, magazine, or website.
