Today digital manipulation has become a thriving industry for many graphics designers. It has become realistic in terms of graphic content and also applications. The scope ranges from mere enhancements to actual illustrative purposes, with an ethic code in tact.

In the world of digital manipulation, photographic imperfections are an extinct phenomenon. What started as an offshoot of photography is increasingly been seen as mandatory for optimum artistic impression of images? True, digital manipulation is just not chosen past time for millions but a complete industry on its own. Like any other creative vocation it not only bread but creative satisfaction to those associated with the job. Though photography is an independent art but when digital manipulation techniques are blended into it, it leads to outstanding photographic results.

There have been substantial developments in the area of digital manipulation in the last decade. On the one hand the simple techniques have improved upon their earlier version to create even better results. And simultaneously several new techniques have been devised. By virtue of these fresh techniques even the most difficult manipulations tasks appear to be simple. The other benefit is that with the help of such technology, photo editing is no more a time consuming task. For optimum results one needs to explore with the technology and its various aspects.

Digital manipulation and its scope:

The scope of digital manipulation is not limited to handling with photographic imperfections. Though it is among one of the most practical uses of the technology but beyond that, it is used for various purposes. There are distinctly two diverse uses of the technology.

The realistic purpose- Firstly it is for realistic purposes. Where in manipulation is used to create amazing looking photographs. These photographs are then used for various purposes. Be it print or digital media, advertising, personal photos, to industrial purpose, the uses are unlimited. From big banner hoardings to magazine covers, digital manipulation is the trick behind all those perfect looking images. For high quality results it is mandatory to use digital manipulation tricks to the perfection.

The illustrious purpose- The illustrious purpose is largely limited to the exhibition photography. More and more photographers are taking up image manipulation as the new way out for exhibiting unparallel art. They not only use the latest technology but also employ their best creative skills to create fabulous images. On several occasions, such projects are complex and demand maximum use of technology. Often the results are achieved by using one more than one techniques of photo editing.

Varied kinds of photo editing tools are used for bringing the most realistic impression but it largely depends on the artist to choose the most appropriate one. Whether too choose mask or to retouch an image, eye catching results are always the result of perfect choice of the editing tool.

Image editing and ethics:

When there are absolutely no reigns to the scope of image manipulation, it is important to note the difference between ethical and unethical use of the same. While it is absolutely correct to imply the best technology to digitally enhance the images for aesthetic purpose. But it is ethical to prevent photo editing of images used for journalistic or documentary purpose. Though the technology has proved immensely useful in varied fields but one cannot deny that it demands strong actions against the unscrupulous use of the same.

Image editing has turned out to be a profitable business for photo processing companies, thanks to the penetration of the Internet and the several websites on it. Background removal is one of the techniques of enhancing the look of an image.

Product websites, company brochures, marketing leaflets, builder’s project brochures, photographs of events, web development, print press, magazine company, all require photo-editing services of various kinds. A universal requirement of clients is having pleasing to the eye visuals, or elaborating a particular detail in an image, or the background removal. All this is done to make the image look contemporary or with the theme it needs. At times, the setting may not be consistent with the requirements of the client. This involves elimination of the backdrop of the image in which the object is placed. And background removal with Photoshop is quite convenient and affordable.

 Consider the following example. Photos are required for passport issue. A passport photo requires a special white background. But, when the photo was taken, the background was not white, but of a dark color. In this case, there are two options for the person. One is to delete the photo altogether and click another new photo. The other option is to resort to the background removal as the most ideal solution.  Ten years back, subjecting the image to a special solution in a dark room could have done the latter. But today, there is sophisticated software available in the market for this tedious work. Also there are photo-processing companies that can do this work online in a jiffy.

 The typical methodology for such work can be explained in a nutshell thus: in the first step, the image of an object which is required to stand out by removing the background is found, then going to option filter and then to extract, the object which has to stand out is outlined in many places. For best results, the image is to be enlarged and the brush size is to be changed when working with small areas. After this the fill command is activated to apply inside the selected area. There is a distinct possibility that the image may not turn out as desired. The airbrush and eraser tools can now be used to touch up and remove the excess. The result would be an image with the object standing out as required with this beautiful technique of background removal.

The market for background removal and other photo editing services has evolved to such an extent that graphic artists are now offering latest solutions along with their basic offerings at no extra cost.  The only tool, which can provide effective results with complex dense images, is the sharp pen tool. The skill of the graphic artist will help in optimally utilizing the versatile medium. There are many programs that help remove non-uniform backgrounds from images. However, in case of an additive non-uniformity, a polynomial is fitted to the various points of the digital image, which are then associated with the background. The resulting polynomial is then subtracted from the whole surface. In case of a multiplicative non-uniformity, it is necessary to generate an image corresponding to the polynomial surface and then this is used to scale the original image.

Understanding the challenges of photo stitching is essential to make the most of this photo editing technique. This article explains in easy terms its importance and also how photographers and editors can apply it successfully.

Image stitching is a way of using multiple partial images of an object (or place) to create a panoramic high resolution image. The partial images must have overlapping features with each other in order to render photo stitching feasible. This process is used by photographers and travelers to create a panoramic view of a certain object that wouldn’t had looked attractive otherwise in small bits and pieces. Experts use computer software for this purpose. The individual pieces must have exact overlaps and similar exposure in order to make image stitching feasible and efficient. It is advised that something as advanced as image stitching is better left to handling by professionals who are specifically trained for this purpose.

There is a lot of complex geometry and science involved behind the functioning of an image stitching software and the algorithm that it uses to identify the overlapping pieces and then stitch the picture. Rectilinear projection and cylindrical projection are two commonly used methods for this purpose. Popular image stitching software includes the likes of Autostitch, Hugin, Panorama Maker, Ptgui, Panorama Tools, Microsoft Research Image Composite Editor, and CleVR Stitcher. Professional editors are known to use Adobe Systems’ Photoshop for multiple photo stitching. Since this is useful software, Auto Blend has been launched as its upgraded version. The new application is also excellent choice for merging and stitching photos seamlessly.

All of this software is commercially available without any free or open source version. This software is known to be complicated with an advanced user interface. Thus it is recommended that a professional in this field must carry out these jobs.

The job of image stitching is not an easy one and requires a lot of expertise and time. There are many challenges associated with the process of image stitching. Most software uses the blind stitching or auto stitching methods. These methods are known to produce imperfect results owing to the fact that they ignore changes and differences in various aspects of the partial component pictures. Image stitching becomes a tough job in case the pictures include a moving object which might be or might not be present in the other component pictures of the job. This problem happens due to the difference in time frame of clicking the different pictures. Possible resolution to this problem is by using a manual stitching procedure for the picture stitching. Such a procedure involves manually demarcating the overlapping segments of the pictures thus helping the system identify them as per your own choice. It is preferable to use a large format camera with the same lens for all the component pictures of an image stitching job. The photographer must ensure that there are no moving objects in the picture and that there are clear demarcated common overlapping areas in all the pictures. Also ensuring that the exposure and other aspects of a photograph are similar will greatly assist the job of the person who is carrying out the image stitching. This will ensure better results when you are using the auto stitch method of the software.

There are several reasons for shrinking high value pictures. Sending them via email is one of the commonest requirements. While large pictures are good for prints, they need to be reduced for sharing.

To resize photo correctly, pixel dimensions is important. Otherwise it will be resampling and not resizing. There are some simple ways to resize photos with no change in pixel count. Smaller compressed versions can be uploaded and sent quickly. Unlike in case of resampling, the pixels are changed manually. Often people like to share a large amount of pictures via emails and social networking sites. Uploading pictures can be painful and time consuming. But how does one resize each photo and yet retain the sharpness. Ideally the help of a professional editor is the best solution. Yes, one can do it also but the images may look blurry and lose the charm and authenticity.

Photoshop has a CS version that makes the entire editing process easy. It has a Bicubic Sharper that does not allow the picture to blur. So if the original picture has about 2000 pixels then it can be reduced to 250 pixels with still the same quality. The Bicubic smoother also can be used if need be. To ensure that the originality is not compromised then this feature should be used only once. It should not be used many times on one image. The same effect will not occur when it is done many times. Once it is decided that it is picture perfect then one can do the final version. To resize photo with this feature use a normal image. A GIF format is not suitable for it. It needs to be changed to a RGB format.

To resize photo for the websites is another major reason why professionals are approached for the job. When a professional is on the job, he will use the software to keep uniformity in the resize designs. When the reduction is done the photos tend to be as sharp even though they are reduced more than 20 times of the original size. Although for amateur editors window resize is available there is a stark difference in the professional quality. When there are many pictures they can all be resized together. It is a time saver and speeds up the work for clients. This is a requirement for any web related work. There are many other ways to resize photo for special needs. An iMac has an entirely different way of employing the same technique. Many editors are looking at alternate solutions to help clients to have better-looking pictures. The key to the entire process is to learn at least a couple of styles of techniques. There is no ‘right way’ or a ‘wrong’ one as long as the purpose is served.

It isn’t the best thing to save money and not use a professional. There are some common mistakes most people make when they try to do it themselves. The most obvious is stretching it. Instead dragging it is a better option. This is one of the little things that a professional knows. He targets the aspect to ration more accurately. Hence it is best to let someone who knows his job do the work.
