retouching

I remember learning about Stalin's photo retouching, and reading about the systematized photo retouching and censorship in 1984.

Edit: Oh and you retouching your comments all the time doesn't help either (the split-brain paragraph just changed...).

Besides, if we're talking about retouching, then isn't it pretty common knowledge that professionals now use Lightroom?

Why should Photoshop be distinguished from the retouching, etc., that have gone on since I suppose photography has existed?

I'm not a photographer, but I publish a digital/ipad magazine and do most of the retouching work.

There was a trend in photography that began at the end of the 19th century called Pictorialism, which emphasized soft focus and significant retouching[1].

Lightroom vs Photoshop really depends on the type of retouching being done.

Just developing, scanning and retouching images might be enough in some countries.

Where is the practical photoshop retouching course from MIT or Stanford?

I was a fairly light Photoshop user - occasional retouching, compositing, and web UI stuff.

I went in expecting obvious rehash about Hollywood accounting or Photoshop, but came out surprised to hear that full-scale video retouching is standard practice.

I haven't used Photoshop Elements, but Pixelmator does 90% of what I used to use Photoshop for, from photo editing, color correction and retouching to prep for web.
