Early photographers altered photos for various reasons. Some were artistic. Since photos were black-and-white, photographers often painted them to add color. When
photos were poorly focused, ink could help create better contrast. A family member
who was absent for a family photo could be added to the image. Most photo editing
was done because of the limitations of the photographic technology of the times.
Photographers merely wanted their photos to look more like real life. They were not
trying to fool anyone.
