In the olden days, before computers allowed you to digitally edit a photo with PhotoShop or the like, photographers and publishers would literally touch up photos with small airbrush guns (like those used to do paint designs on cars or on t-shirts at the mall) to enhance the photograph by removing blemishes, reducing wrinkles or imperfections, cover thick thighs and so on. This was almost always done on a print of the photo, never the negative, before it was sent to press.

Hench the name, "airbrush."
