Digital image manipulation
Digital photographs, images and other graphics can all be altered using computer software. A variety of software packages are available that allow you to edit and manipulate your images.
Simple editing can include:
- cropping the image
- removing errors and minor blemishes like dust spots
- lightening underexposed areas
- darkening washed out areas
It is also possible to make more significant changes to an image. This can be used for artistic or experimental effect.
For example, you might:
- change the contrast
- increase or decrease colour
- saturationHow strong or intense a hue or colour is
- add blurring
- mix areas of black and white and colour
