Fun with Photoshop


Photoshop is without doubt the best graphics editing software bar none. It's easy enough to get started, difficult to get to be a good user and extremely rare that you'll find somebody who knows it all! Photoshop is the first piece of software we use when designing our website mockups, but when we're not working on designs we like to play around with digital manipulation.

Digital Imagination



Imagination is the ability to conceive (think about) a concept solely within the mind, and not by observation or interaction with anything physical. It is the driving force behind all human advancement, because it allows humans to think of things that do not exist, at least not at the time they are imagined.

It is separate from analysis in that it hypothesizes the reason behind an observed phenomenon, and decides how it can be proved or disproved.

Imagination is, in one opinion, lying to oneself : seeing something as it could be or might be rather than the mere fact that it exists. In children, it is common for imagination to transform cardboard boxes into forts, and small toys into battling spaceships.

Imagination is most prevalent in fictional writing, where entire microcosms of existence are brought into being, and where non-existent characters live their lives to demonstrate some particular aspect of the real world. Innumerable books, plays, and films provide these imagined worlds to be shared by others.

To imagine is to think of something that could happen, or something that can never happen; something you wish were true, or something that you can make come true.

Types of digital photo manipulation


In digital editing, photographs are usually taken with a digital camera and input directly into a computer. Transparenciesnegatives or printed photographs may also be digitized using a scanner, or images may be obtained from stock photography databases. With the advent of computers, graphics tablets, and digital cameras, the term image editing encompasses everything that can be done to a photo, whether in a darkroom or on a computer. Photo manipulation is often much more explicit than subtle alterations to color balance or contrast and may involve overlaying a head onto a different body or changing a sign's text, for example. Image editing software can be used to apply effects and warp an image until the desired result is achieved. The resulting image may have little or no resemblance to the photo (or photos in the case of compositing) from which it originated. Today, photo manipulation is widely accepted as an art-form.
There are several subtypes of digital image-retouching:
Technical retouching
Manipulation for photo restoration or enhancement (adjusting colors / contrast / white balance (i.e. gradational retouching), sharpness, removing elements or visible flaws on skin or materials, ...)
Creative retouching
Used as an art form or for commercial use to create more sleek and interesting creative images for advertisements. Creative retouching could be manipulation for fashion, beauty or advertising photography such as pack-shots (which could also be considered inherently technical retouching in regards to package dimensions and wrap-around factors) One of the most prominent disciplines in creative retouching is image-compositing. Here, the digital artist uses multiple photos to create a single composited image. Today, 3D elements are used more and more to add extra elements or even locations and backgrounds. This kind of image composition is widely used when conventional photography would be technically too difficult or impossible to shoot on location or in studio.
