ABSTRACT
At the heart of image editing is the ability to work seamlessly with images—especially photographs—of all kinds. Image-editing is a rather mundane term for a wide range of exciting techniques and approaches including the use of filters that can be used to enhance the image or even radically change its appearance, and image compositing, where several images are combined to create a greater imaginative whole. With digital techniques, an image can be corrected, adjusted, and manipulated to enhance its ability to communicate the artist’s vision. Image-editing programs today can overwhelm a user with the rich variety of their features, some immediately apparent and some that you might not discover for some time. Digitizing, correcting, balancing, integrating, and compositing new realities that stretch the imagination are part and parcel of these exciting programs.
