When Ansel Adams exposed a photographic plate or piece of
film, he thought about the light, perspective, exposure and
so on. He would often manipulate the development process to
maximize the dynamic range of his negatives. Printing the
negative was an exercise in photo-manipulation mostly
through dodging and burning.

It's a whole new world with dSLR and smart phone cameras.
Image manipulation is part of the electronic processing
taking place in milliseconds. What we call post-processing
refers to further changing the image from what the Camera
creates.
Post-processing digital images - right or wrong?
http://www.digital-photography-tips.net/post-processing-digital-images-right-or-wrong.html
One philosophy often cited is "get the image right" when
one makes the exposure--post-processing is not necessary.
That's the perspective your instructor chooses.
An alternative philosophy--any image can be "improved".
There are literally hundreds of programs and apps to
achieve image manipulation. This course refers to some of
the more professional and well-known software.
How Post-Processing Helped Me Become a Better Photographer

Post-processing your digital photos is a controversial
topic for some. The idea that you change and manipulate a
photo after it's been taken is seen by some as changing
reality; creating something that's 'fake'. I disagree
strongly with that idea for many reasons, but the reason
I'm going to talk about here is that post-processing made
me a better photographer. Not just that I think it made my
photos look better, but actually helped me to become
better at taking photos.
Understand why it's important to "get it right in camera".

Photo Assignment - Telling a Story
"A picture is worth a thousand words." That is the motto of
a photojournalist. It is their objective to produce direct,
truthful and bold images that tell the stories for those who
have no voice or show a different perspective.
Capture an image that tells a story--perhaps something in
your neighborhood or community. You want the image to hold
the viewers attention and have an impact.

A stereo pair consists of two pictures, one for the left
eye and one for the right. Even though the two pictures
may look very similar, they're not identical. During
viewing, the left eye sees the left image and the right
eye the right; then the brain fuses the two so you
perceive depth.
