Reflections on Digital Retouching
Summary
Talking about digital retouching directly leads us to the idea of a set of modifications to specific elements or compositions within a magazine, cover, advertising art, or private videos for the social media among others. While it is true that modifying an image or composition is often considered a regular process without much complication or significant mental effort, this ‘simple’ action can have a great impact. If we pay attention to what is within our visual reach, whether when watching TV, browsing the internet, or simply viewing advertisements within the mall, we will find an imminent reality: everything contains a communicational load, a non-verbal language that transcends borders. And just as it is a great ally in finding the desired perfection, it is also a character pointed out for becoming the protagonist of exaggerated modifications and creations labeled as unnatural Currently, we do not depend on sophisticated software to apply enhancements to an image or video composition. For instance, applications like the Videoleap app offer powerful editing tools for videos, allowing users to enhance their visual content with ease.
