Photo Manipulations is a type of digital art. It is the technique of manipulating a photographic image either analog or digitally with similar or different elements. Photographs are usually taken with a digital camera and put onto the computer. If a digital camera is not available, a regular photograph may be scanned into the computer. Photos can also be obtained from stock photography databases. Image manipulation software such as Adobe Photoshop is then used to apply effects and warp the image in whatever way possible until the desired result is achieved.
Before computers, photo manipulation was done by scratching Polaroids or piecing photos together in the darkroom. But now with computers, graphics tablets, and digital cameras, the term photo manipulation encompasses everything that can be done to a photo in a darkroom or on a computer. A photo manipulation can be simply a photo whose colors have been changed, or a photo that has been painted over in Photoshop or another paint program. Sometimes a photo manipulation has little or no resemblance to the photo from which is started.
