In terms of editing visual content, the two main forms would be photo and cinematic. Photo editing has evolved considerably from humble means, dating back to the early 20th century. During the 1920s, photographers established a new discipline of creative editing by creating collages from multiple photos.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-06-16 |title=History of digital photo manipulation {{!}} National Science and Media Museum |url=https://www.scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk/objects-and-stories/digital-photo-manipulation-history |access-date=2023-10-17 |website=www.scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk |language=en}}</ref> By the late 1980s, it became possible to computerize images by running physical photos through a scanner. Over time, software began to develop, aimed toward the manipulation of different qualities of a photo. Today, there are a multitude of applications to choose from to edit the content or qualities of photos; PhotoShop is a common example, as well as other applications such as Adobe Lightroom. Modern photo editing techniques include, but are not limited to linearization, white balance, noise reduction, tone reproduction and compression.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Chapter 1: Develop a Lightroom + Photoshop Mindset - Crafting the Landscape Photograph with Lightroom Classic and Photoshop [Book] |url=https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/crafting-the-landscape/9781681989907/xhtml/chapter1.xhtml |access-date=2023-10-17 |website=www.oreilly.com |language=en}}</ref>

The other form of visual editing is [[Film editing|cinematic]] editing. Cinematic editing entails anything that is to be used as cinematic material, mainly films. Cinematic editing dates back to the early 1900s when American filmmaker, [[D. W. Griffith|D.W. Griffith]], produced the first films that essentially paved the way for the editing techniques that are still used today.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Crittenden |first=Roger |url=https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781135372705 |title=Film and Video Editing |year=2003 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-1-135-37270-5 |language=en |doi=10.4324/9780203427866}}</ref> The progression of technology brought about advancements in gear, which meant filmmakers were able to achieve new techniques in the post-production process through editing. Editors went from physically cutting and rearranging film to working on virtual timelines using software like [[DaVinci Resolve|Davinci Resolve]] or [[Adobe Premiere Pro|Premiere pro]].
