"retouching is the process of getting an image ready for the final presentation"
Nick Page - Creation London
Some images have more manipulation than others but nearly all have some form of retouching done. minor adjustments include spot or dust removal, whereas major ones include compositing people into locations.
Manipulation is also done in the darkroom with filters and dodging and burning areas of the negative.
