Street Photography with Saul Leiter: Photo Icons Explained

Saul Leiter is often described as a pioneer of colour photography. A label he, himself never cared much for. Nevertheless, Leiter's street photography, famous for its intricate layers and poignant use of colour, has been prominently featured in countless galleries and museums. Leiter found major recognition in the art world late in his career with the first book publication of his colour work in 2006, at the age of 83. What Leiter called his “little book” became a worldwide sensation that established the artist as a groundbreaking master of colour, almost overnight. The late discovery of his vast body of work has nonetheless changed the history of street photography forever.

[@arniet1]

I would like to know, Did Saul Leiter edit his photos for certain effects and if so what were his methods? Or was his work just straight out from the film roll to the original print
