the definition of photograph, or the reason it was named this is that it is a "light" "Graph" or a chart of the light. So technically, even though we all use the term PHotograph to mean a two dimensional realistic representation, to truly be a photograph all the elements within the border must have been put there by an exposure of light.
so any retouching, digital or otherwise, would be not the same process as graphing the light and strictly speaking could not be considered a photograph.
