From what I gather it's usually the photo editors and layout editors that alter the photos to fit the story. The way a photo is displayed is very dependent on how the story needs to fit on a page. The photographers themselves hardly ever did any of the editing -- then again, most of them didn't seem to have a lot of know-how in that area. Makes you unique, in that sense :-) My advice: just become the photo editor!
