Editing isn't just something the computer does for us as photographers, it takes time and great concentration from us to give clients quality and do some extra editing. This really takes time!
Getting your photos fine edited in my opinion, is a bonus if your photographer charges standard or below standard rates.
This should not become an expectation from clients that we as modern photographers are able to edit and correct everything that is not "perfect" in the actual shot of that moment. It is a client's responsibility to make sure beforehand that every detail they don't want in the shot, is resolved to the best of their ability. If there is some uncertainties, discuss this with your photographer. At the shoot, we as photographers then try and resolve these distractions from our point of view at that moment while directing the shoot according to our abilities and possibilities.
We then correct and edit "distractions" from the moment we want to present to the audience, again, to the best of our abilities and possibilities. As this can become very time consuming and result in loosing our already deserved income.
Photographers from way back, couldn't edit out these sometimes "unwanted" objects or display's, and that's what actually makes film photography so beautiful. It is real, natural, no hidden secrets, true and sincere.
Technology may make it possible, but it sure ain't that easy and quick as the non-photographers tend to assume.
So, what I'm I actually trying to say...
If you've got tan lines and ask me to edit, I understand;If you've got red eyes because of lack of sleep and ask me to edit, I understand;If you don't have proper makeup on, and ask me to edit, I understand;If you have unwanted body hair you didn't remove and ask me to edit, I understand;If you ask me to edit your shape or age appearance, I understand;If your clothes are dirty due to unexpected reasons, and ask me to edit, I understand;If your children's faces are dirty and you ask me to edit, I understand;BUTIf I charge you extra, I hope you understand
***Good pictures come from both sides of the lens***
