The visibility of a design choice to a layperson does not affect its value. In photo editing, the fact that these changes are invisible to you is valuable, and desirable.

Our experiences in the human world are shaped by millions of tiny, and often invisible design decisions. We could surmise that a decision is invisible to us and thus meaningless, or we could practice a bit of humility and attempt to see and understand what work was done there, and how it affects us.
