Also means
to tweak, to adjust
Usage Note
Ritoccare implies making small corrective adjustments — retouching a photo (ritoccare una foto), touching up paint, or fine-tuning a text. In fashion and beauty, ritocco (the noun) often refers to cosmetic touch-ups. The nuance is refinement rather than major revision; for a bigger rework, Italian uses rivedere or rielaborare.
Examples
"Ha ritoccato la fotografia con il computer."
Natural Translation
She retouched the photograph on the computer.
