Photography is an essential tool in archaeology, not only for documenting finds but also for interpreting and preserving evidence. However, images often require some level of post-processing to enhance clarity, correct lighting issues, or reveal details that may not be immediately visible. Image manipulation software plays a crucial role in this process, allowing archaeologists to adjust images while maintaining the integrity of the data.
