I'd be willing to bet that just about every professional photographer retouches each photograph in some way before printing or otherwise delivering them to the client.
Retouching takes time. If they gave away digital copies before retouching that work wouldn't be up to their standards and their reputation—and ability to gain new clients—could be harmed.
- RK 13y agoEDIT: Changed my mind. What I wrote below is not the argument the OP was making and your criticism stands... Though, if the photographer holds copyright they can still charge per digital copy (per use?) of the same photo. --- You're missing the point. Unless they retouch the photo before every subsequent digital "reprint", there's no reason to charge per digital copy of the same photo. The OP is saying "charge what you're going to charge, but don't keep charging for each subsequent copy".
