Are there philosophical points here that need discussing or have these all been exhausted? If so where?

It's true that it's difficult to alter a negative, although I scan all my negs so they end up with the Photoshop treatment eventually
. Also, didn't Ansel Adams do a lot of dodging and burning of his negs all those years ago?
There probably are points to be raised about truthfulness in capture, but I don't know if I have the knowledge to delve deeply into it. Would like to hear views on this area of the philosophy of photography though.
