photo processing

Photo processing is the digital or chemical technique of converting a photographic image into a finished picture. In digital photography, it involves editing the image using software to adjust brightness, contrast, colors, and sharpness, as well as removing blemishes or unwanted objects. In traditional film photography, processing includes developing the exposed film with chemicals to reveal the image, then printing it onto photographic paper. Overall, photo processing enhances or modifies images to improve quality, correct imperfections, or achieve a specific artistic effect, ensuring the final picture accurately represents the photographer’s intent or desired aesthetic.
