>>3043444I think the only time you should never edit a photo is in regards to photojournalism.
Otherwise everyone else is editing their photos. Personally I don't like photos that are too processed, but that is coming from a photojournalism background.
I had a teacher talk about photoshopping birds into skies, or photoshopping signs out of pictures. If you're going for art or a pretty picture, then edit it. You have to.
If you're going for documentary or journalistic photography I'd avoid it at all costs.
