Since the concept of art was first introduced to the world, people have continually found new ways to push the limits and boundaries of the different forms of art in order to create new and beautiful images for art enthusiasts to enjoy. With digital and visual arts becoming increasingly popular, photo manipulation has evolved from its very humble and basic beginnings to a world-wide phenomenon that has produced countless unbelievable images. Photo manipulation takes photographs and photo editing and mixes them together to create the extraordinary images that have graced countless ads, websites, and exhibits. The ideas for these images can be born from just a few photographs that might look good merged together to out of this world conceptualized ideas. Getting inspired and creative with photo manipulation is easy as long as the mind is kept open for imagination to step in. The Humble Beginnings Photo manipulation was already being performed even before the age of computers by retouching photos with ink or paint as well as double-exposure techniques or layering negatives before printed the negatives in the darkroom. The first ever photo manipulation that was recorded was in the 1860s when a photograph of Abraham Lincoln had been altered. Since darkroom photo manipulation is now a highly revered as a form of traditional art, many photograph and art enthusiasts are still putting their best foot forward to try and learn the difficult technique. Photo Manipulation vs. Photo Editing These days, photo manipulation is mostly practiced with digital photographs that have been inputted in the computer and can often be mistakenly referred to as simply photo editing. Although it is logically sound to say that any changes made to a photo can be called manipulation, there is a clear distinction that can be made. Photo editing typically refers to making small changes to a photograph that does not, in any way, change the basic elements of the photograph. For example, the simple removal of red eyes from the photos and making slight adjustments to the color balances can be referred to as simple photo editing. There is no intention to deceive in photo editing and all changes are merely based on the general aesthetics of the photo. Although the line between photo manipulation and photo editing is one that is very subjective, by rule of thumb, photo manipulation is when multiple photos are taken and meshed into one or if extensive changes to a photograph has been made. Tools for Photo Manipulation Since photo manipulation has been recognized as an art form in its own right, there are many tools that have been presented for this particular kind of digital art. In terms of darkroom photo manipulation, actual physical changes to the negatives are involved and thus could include the use of items such as acids or pins. Digital photo manipulation these days has most often been attributed to different kinds of software such as Photoshop. The options and possibilities are limitless when it comes to photo manipulation and the great thing about it is that anyone who wants to try and get creative with photo manipulation can always take a stab at it.
