Yes, the authenticity of a landscape can persist in post-processing if done moderately. Thoughtful adjustments—like enhancing contrast, colors, and details—can restore or idealize the scene as experienced, without fabricating elements. Excessive manipulation (e.g., sky swaps or cloning) risks turning it into digital art, losing realism. Many photographers view ethical editing as an extension of darkroom techniques, preserving the essence while expressing vision.https://petapixel.com/2017/11/14/ethics-landscape-photography/
