Not really, plenty of editing going on as per thread title.
See? still on track. So fine to continue…
So excusing the blonde factor, but I have to ask…effects done with/using the camera and its functions? Or done post the taking of the picture?
Very good question often asked.
The standard answer is to try and get it right in the camera first. Of course that depends on what functions a camera has and what you are trying to achieve.
However you may not be able to remove unwanted objects in the picture with a camera as just one example that is where editing can help. There is then the arguement that is not what was actually seen which is a fair point.
It is really all down to personal choice as to how a photo or video is presented. Showing an edited photo to someone who wasn’t there at the time would know no difference.

Thanks very much, appreciated.
Photography is art, so the representation is up to the artist, the viewer/audience is responsible for perception I suppose
All I want to do is look younger 
that is really not a problem with a half decent editing suite, My Adobe Elements 2020 version can do a lot to alter a face. It can smooth out skin - open /close eyes and shape -adjust nose and mouth- make the face fatter or slimmer- remove skin blemishes to name but a few things.
but that would not be your real face it would only project you as a younger woman on a photo.

" he offered his honour and she honoured his offer. So all night long it was honour and offer"
