What is Photo manipulation

• Photo manipulation is a process performed by a
  digital artist using image-editing software to
  transform a photograph into a desired image.

Photo Manipulation Technique

• Photo manipulation techniques are used by many
  designers to create extremely creative works of
  art. It is enormously popular amongst most
  graphic designers who choose to use Photoshop.
  Although, It involves transforming or altering a
  photograph using various methods.
• We will review ten focus points for successful
  photo manipulation technique to create a
  professional photo.

01.Rendering Your Images

• -We all know that photo manipulations take
  various images (either stock images or ones
  you've photographed yourself) and merge them with
  others on a Photoshop canvas.
• -Most people who are familiar with Photoshop use
  the Pen tool to cut out there images, but if the
  image is incredibly hard to cut out then the Pen
  tool will not help you.
• -This program lets you render out images in a
  matter of minutes using special masking tools
  that you can not find in Photoshop.

02.Images Shadow Creation

• -Photo manipulations are made so that you can
  bring out things that would never happen in the
  real world. Shadows are our next focus and the
  second technique you should know before starting
  a photo manipulation project.
• - making shadows is a whole other discussion, but
  a simple way to make them is to duplicate your
  original stock that you need the shadow for. Then
  turn it completely black. Then add a Gaussian
  Blur to it. Then you can reduce it in size and
  put it in the correct place.

03.Images Proportion

• -If you're going to make a design that is
  extremely farfetched, than you have to make it
  look realistic and proportion makes a huge
  difference in how realistic your art looks. You
  have to remember where you want to place your
  images. Below is an example of great
  proportioning. You can see that there is a castle
  all the way in the back of the image and note how
  small it is.
• -You have to remember that images that are
  supposed to be far away have to be smaller than
  the ones that are closer to you.

04.Photoshop Textures 

• -Textures add to the depth of your art. If you
  are trying to go for a photo manipulation that is
  dark and dirty looking you can use a rough ground
  surface as a background texture or if you are
  looking for something smoother you can use paper,
  or a wall texture.
• - Photoshop textures are used to create
  backgrounds, add grit and texture to designs, and

05.Picking Stock Images 

• -Selecting stock images is the first thing you
  should do after you already have your idea. You
  have to remember that you can not always cut out
  every stock you have perfectly, as some stock
  images are sometimes just taken at bad angles, or
  have slight blurriness, so you wont be able to
  use them.
• - You can pick lots of stock images from
  different copyright free website that should be
  used your photo manipulations.

 06.Color Blending 

• -Not every image you use is going to match your
  background, your texture, or even your other
  images. So that is where color blending comes in.
  
• - Colors like pink, white, yellow, and orange
  blend together easily. So that is what you should
  look for at first colors that already blend.
  Then use Photoshop's Photo Filters or Gradient
  Maps to manipulate the colors of the images to
  blend well.

 07.Emphasis on Detail 

• -When creating a piece of art set one area as the
  main focus. You want to draw viewers eyes
  instantly to that spot. There are multiple
  techniques to do that. One way is to work on
  focusing attention on the most vibrant, colorful,
  or sharp area in the design.
• - A great example of emphasis on a certain part
  of a design in in the artwork below.

 08.Combining Multiple Images 

• - Before opening Photoshop, take out a piece of
  paper and a pencil. Then sketch our your design.
  If you're only doing a rough sketch, it takes
  about two minutes at the most. Consider where the
  stock images will go as you sketch. Decide the
  kinds of images you'll need to find.
• - You may need to look at multiple stock images
  before choosing the right ones for your
  composition.

  09.C4D Uses on Photoshop 

• - C4D's are 4D images made from a program
  named Cinema 4D. The use of C4D art or 3D renders
  can improve your photo manipulation. In this
  case, it gave it a nice futuristic and abstract
  effect that is difficult to achieve using normal
  stock images.
• - They are often these abstract works. They can
  be used to enhance the feel of your work, and
  give it an even nicer look. Let's look at how C4D
  meets an image and blends beautifully.

    10.Enhancing a Stock Image 

• -  our last technique shows how to enhance a
  stock image to your advantage. Stock images are
  often plain. It is your job to turn them into
  something more attractive to the eye. This is
  where stock enhancement comes into play.

  tree can be turned into a towering oak. The final
  composition has more branches and level and
  interest. The stock has been transformed.

  ideas process or to create actual final images.
  There is a large range of photo editing software
  available, including Adobe Photoshop, Corel Paint
  Shop Pro, GIMP and Paint.NET. You can achieve a
  range of effects, such as applying filters,
  including sepia tone or textures.

   Is photo manipulation art. 

• - Photo manipulation is one of the most
  creative art forms to come out of the digital
  age. 
• - It is widely accepted as an art form, photo
  manipulation requires skill as well as an active
  imagination. Using Photoshop and other photo
  editing tools, digital artists have recently
  taken it to mind-blowing levels.

37
   Good and bad of Photo manipulation 

• -It depends on the extend of the work thats done
  the audience of applying the technique of Photo
  manipulation . Its great to use for the right
  reasons but I think it should be used sparingly
  in the fashion/magazine world as its giving
  teenagers the wrong impression of beauty.
• - But the bad thing it should not be used to
  portray false, wildly unrealistic images of
  people.
