I have my lighting editing, although I use professional photographers they don't always have the right light and it comes out weird so they fix it.
I have blemishes removed (any pimple or bug bit or scratch). This is because, these things heal and my clients won't see them when they come see me after the pictures are taken but they are forever in the picture if I don't have them removed.
I think editing should be minor, agreed.

Like Ember...
Who, by the way, is the BEST WORK OUT BUDDY IN THE WORLD!! I have absolutely NO PROBLEM with light touch ups that photographers use to cover a blemish, scratch or if you have been REALLY NAUGHTY A BRUISE....
I remember the day before my BLUE BUNNY PHOTO SHOOT... I had a date with Old Yeller and we were going to ATTEMPT to do DP with HIM & Mr. ROBOTO (Sybian)!! So, let's just say that this was a VERY INTENSE DATE... Of course, come to think about it... ALL of my dates with OY are INCREDIBLY INTENSE!! Lol...
Sigh... I digress... However, poor RUSSELL KENNA had to remove a SMALL BRUISE on my HIP...on about 50 photos... that had been left when OLD YELLER & I had gotten a tad bit CARRIED AWAY... LOL... and I didn't even NOTICE that he was gripping my hips rather tight... Lol... Oh well, at least Russell had something to TEASE ME ABOUT during and after the SHOOT!!
I would also like to add... that I THINK each photographer has a right... as a COLLABORATIVE ARTIST in a photographic venture... to make whatever PROFESSIONAL EDITING CALLS he/she deems APPROPRIATE before releasing the photos to the PUBLIC...
When you are working with a professional photographer... the photos are not just about the MODEL... they are also about the artistic eye and talent of the photographer taking the photos... so, for me to ever TELL a photographer NOT to edit his/her photos at all... would be the same as someone RESTRICTING my writing endeavors...and let's just say that I would resent that very much...
However, any professional photographer worth his/her salt WOULD NOT alter the photos to the point that they are misleading or in a way that would create false advertising... for if they did... they will quickly earn a very NEGATIVE reputation in the industry...
For what it is worth... my two cents...
