When do you know you need to edit a photo?

I'm new to photography. I'm about to go into my first photo editing after my recent holiday.

I'm wondering how do you know that a particular photo needs to be edited, and to what extend it is ok? Until it is not under/over exposed? minimum noise?
Is there a guideline or just pure smoothing to the eyes?
What is a good way for amateur to learn to judge a photo?

Editing seems like a bigger part of photography then taking a good photo itself. Speaking from a amateur point of view though.

Any constructive comments are greatly appreciated.

Thanks. ^_^
