👩‍🎨 Retouching: true or false?

            Retouching has become an integral part of modern photography. But many believe that it distorts reality, creating a false view of the world.
Which is impossible to disagree with, personally, I think that everything should be in moderation.
Let's figure it out.
⠀
What is retouching? Firstly, it is a processing process that allows you to improve the quality of photos and remove unwanted elements. Retouching can be used to correct technical errors, improve color and contrast, and create an artistic effect.
⠀
In skillful hands, retouching does not create a fake reality, but only emphasizes the beauty and uniqueness of each person. It is important to remember that retouching is only a tool that helps to improve a photo and make it more attractive to the viewer.
⠀
In addition, retouching can be useful to create artistic images and convey certain ideas. For example, retouching is often used in fashion photography, where it helps to emphasize the beauty of models and create stylish images.
