There is a widespread notion that using Photoshop or other software to adjust images after they are taken is somehow deceitful. Granted, there are deceitful uses for such digital enhancements, particularly in advertising. But I mostly use them to restore the image to what I actually see with the naked eye, rather than what the camera sees. A case in point: a photograph I took in my backyard shortly before dawn on a snowy morning. The raw image was overexposed to bring out details that would otherwise have disappeared in the darkness, and there is a yellowish cast from the lights on my neighbor’s back patio. First I adjusted the color balance to eliminate the yellowish cast and to restore the bluish tinge to the sky and snow. Then I adjusted the exposure in places to restore the scene to the way I saw it, rather than the way the camera did.  So which is the truer picture?
