100 %

Lts say you have a landscapre picture!.!.!.its a lighthouse, sitting on a rock outcropping and there seems to be a violent storm brewing, with a ship that seems to be in distress!.

Its like 10 pictures all edited into one!.

I foung that very rarely in nature are you going to get all of the perfect elements together, AND have the weather cooperate!.!.!.!.

Lets say you found that lighthouse ona rock cropping!.!.!.well, the chances are you would be there ona bright and sunny day!! Or, the perfect lighthouse would be on a boring sandy beach!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If they are for magazines then probably all of them!.

If they have been shot digitally, even if it's just a small Levels and Saturation adjustment and replacing the sharpness that the Bayer layer takes out, probably all of them

If it's film, probably all of them even if it's just a touch of 'dodge and burn'!.

In short the vast majority, and it's always been the case long before Photoshop!.

Depends on what you mean by "Photoshopped"!.

If you mean making minor corrections to contrast, brightness, colour saturation and balance, most of them!.

If you mean fixing bad lighting and poor technique, none of them!.

The number that really matters is that 95% of the success of a photograph is what was done in camera at the time of the shoot!.

Most of them have been edited in Photoshop to some degree!. That said we don't sit around for hours editting every shot!. If you know how to work your camera and compose your shot well all you need to do is slight adjustments!. For example you may do a little color adjustment or remove a blemish from a brides face but you don't spend hours transforming every photo!. If you get it right in the camera you don't need to fix it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

As an experienced photographer, there are many details that we have to take out of the picture to make it look better!. (a!.k!.a, that mark on her arm, or the squirrel in the grass)

There is no overlooking small details, because those are what make or break a photograph!.

My percent of professional photoshopped photos are about!.!.!. give or take, 70%!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Don't have the figures, but since Photoshop has replaced negative retouching and air brushing, I would say 95%!. Just a guess, though!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

at least 75% in some way wether it is for color or to photo shop in it doesn't really matter thoughWww@QuestionHome@Com
