ABSTRACT
The editing phase of the digital workflow is really a two-part process. One aspect includes the selection, choice and cropping of images - this may be done before or after processing, depending on workflow specifics, and is distinct from content editing. The second aspect - content editing - has to be done using image-editing software. The file will then be progressed to the next stage of content editing and passed back to the client for final approval. Content editing is the domain of Adobe Photoshop. These products work with image layers and can be used to change the content of an image dramatically. A question of ethics is raised due to the power of these programs to change images yet keep them looking believable. There are three major users of image-editing software: commercial photographers, social photographers and journalists.
