Photo editing is the changing of images. These images can be digital photographs, illustrations, prints, or photographs on film). Photo editing is also used to make completely new images. Photo editing is sometimes called photo manipulation, usually when it is used to trick people.

The photographs affecting negatively to the public sentiment and psychology should be avoided. Thus before publishing a photograph in any media it needs to be edited, whether the photo has some massage to public and should consider the public interest.

Other terms for photo editing:

  • Image editing
  • Post-processing
  • Image/photo manipulation
  • Photoshopping
  • Image/photo enhancement

There are many different types of photo editing. Some are simple and others are more complex.

You can typically execute simple photo-editing techniques fairly easily and quickly. Complex techniques and digital editing may require a software program and more experience and training.

Simple photo-editing techniques include:

  1. Noise reduction: smoothing the picture out, typically accomplished by reducing the pixel size
  2. White balance: the color of the light in the image
  3. Contrast: higher contrast makes an image more punchy, while lower contrast makes it flatter in color
  4. Exposure: the brightness of the photo
  5. Lens correction: addresses any issues with the camera lens
  6. Color adjustments: change the color of an item or element in the photo
  7. Resizing and cropping: adjust the dimensions of the image
  8. Background removal: delete the background from the image, isolating the subject (this is often used for white background product photography)

Photo editing is a technique to alter scanned or photographed images.

Photo editing achieves the desired effect using combinations of deleting, adding (supplemental), moving, cutting, rotating, changing brightness and contrast levels. Almost every possible graphic design work can be accomplished with photo editing operation; not only special effects but also typography graphics, banners, etc.
Sometimes during the image editing process noise reduction may be applied. Noise reduction reduces granularities in an image that detracts from its aesthetic value which is often a result of digital sampling rate variation in the reproduced areas of an image and JPEG compression (or any other form of lossy compression). This improves clarity and color saturation when such changes are desired without distorting segments
