Definition
"Retoucher" means to make small improvements or corrections to a photo, image, or object, often by editing or altering details to enhance its appearance or fix imperfections before finalizing or publishing it.
The word "retoucher" comes from the French verb formed by the prefix "re-" meaning 'again' and "toucher" meaning 'to touch.' It originally referred to touching up paintings or pictures to improve them, a sense that naturally extended to modern photo editing.
