I once read a good article in pixmag.co.za about dig mani vs dig correction. As with film burning, dodging, tinting and many other natural processes were used. The problem with digital that comes in is when the image is something that can't be captured in real life, like adding snow capped mountains to the back of a meadow... I like the manips but then feel that they fall out of the photography spectrum in the BEEGER picture. For rendo it's fine but for selling it's not common proctice it's mixed medium or 2D work... SO while I love manis and add ins I feel touch ups are totally allowed for the BEEGER market... Just me, not purist or naturalist but just putting it into perspective...
