photo editors
Digital picture adjusters
Photo editors are software applications for modifying digital images—adjusting color, cropping, removing blemishes, adding filters, or combining elements from multiple photos.
Photoshop dominates professional use, while simpler apps handle casual editing: I ran it through a photo editor to fix the lighting.
The term also means a person who selects and prepares photographs for publication at a newspaper, magazine, or website.
