#oto En#ancement

Photo enhancement is the process of improving the quality of digital images without

having prior information about the exact nature of the degradation or the source ofdistortion. <igitally stored images are manipulated in this process for enhancing theappearance as far as possible. However, photo enhancement is not )ust making an imagedarker or lighter or )ust increasing and decreasing the contrast of an image, it is far morecomplicated. ithout having a flair for perfection and a good command over some photoediting software packages such as ;hotoshop, Image =eady etc, you will never be able togive a new lease of life to a partially distorted and blurred image.

A #are Combination o& Art and 'cience

*nhancing a partially distorted image is all about maintaining a delicate balance betweenthe art and the science of photo editing. #hough it is virtually impossible to enhance thequality of an image without exploiting the features of an image editing software package,art of photo enhancement should be not be discarded all together. Here lies thedifference between photo enhancement and photo restoration. In photo enhancement,images are not only restored to their original form but the images are also manipulatedfor giving them a perfect look.

The Aim o& Photo Enhancement

#he main aim of photo enhancement is to improve the quality of an image for betteringits perception and interpretability so that human beings can appreciate it. #he focus ofattention should not be solely on restoring the original form of an image rather weshould concentrate on making it unique by harnessing the power of creativity and latesttechnology.

Before you start enhancing an image, you need to have a fair concept of the future useof that image. A photo can be perfect for using in an exhibition but the same image may

appear outlandish, if it is used in a public place. :ou need to have a creative bend ofmind for differentiating images based on their suitability.

'ome (acts on Photo Enhancement

-ne might wonder why there are so many companies vying with each other in this field.

It is customary to categori9e computer graphics into two parts $ vector graphic and

raster graphics. :ou can scale up or down a vector image without compromising with itsquality as lines and curves are mathematically defined in vector images. But the samething can0t be said of restore images, as restore images are made up of pixels andtherefore, you will not be able to scale them up or down at your will.

#oto %ani!ulation

Photo manipulation is the process of changing the very appearance of an image forduping the viewers into believing something that does not exists in reality at all. It isabove and all a photographic technique that is being used for producing a sense ofallusion and for giving a pleasant shock to the views by tweaking and prodding someimages until they produce the desired effect at the end. It is not )ust making a little bitchanges in an image or making corrections in a photo for brining back its pristine form, itis far more complex. It demands creative inputs but without having technical skills, youwill never be able to make any powerful impact.

)bective o& Photo "anipuation

#he concept of photo manipulation is smeared with controversies. &ome argue that thistechnique is marring the purity of images by altering original form of images blatantlyand this concern is somewhat )ustified. However, it can be said that manipulation of animage is acceptable as far as it does not cross the moral and ethical boundaries.However, if your soul aim is to play with this art or if your aim is to impress the viewersby showing a presentation of your skill and creativity through this visual medium, thereshould be no cause of concerned.

istory o& Photo "anipuation

;hoto manipulation is not the brainchild of digital imagery. Before the computers came

into being, this technique was widely used for producing desired effects by using somesimple tools such as piercing photos, double$exposure, paint, ink etc. However, it used totake awfully long time and often the result was not absolutely perfect and impressive.ith the advent of technology, the concept of photo manipulation has changeddramatically. 'o longer you will have to work for days for bringing radical change in thevisual appearance of an image, you can now do that smartly by trying out some cooltools of an image editing software for example ;hotoshop or Image =eady.

As a (orm o& Art

;reviously photo manipulation was not considered as a form of art but the concept has

changed a lot in the past few years. #oday, it is deemed as a unique form of art whereboth creativity and technological skill play dominating roles. #he final result of imagemanipulation can be drastically different from the original one but you should make sureone thing that the final result will be powerful enough to sei9e the attention of the viewer.

#oto %ontage

The history of photo montage dates back to the *dwardian and 3ictorian era when the art

came into being. #he art started primarily as a welcome break from the traditional way ofpresenting image. It is somewhat whacky and different in pattern because the basic aim ofphoto montage is to dovetail two or more images seamlessly in such a way that creates a

different picture altogether. #hough the art of photo montage was flourished in the Cthcentury, it still captivates the senses of modern people and appeals to those, who are

engaged in the eternal pursuit of beauty and novelty.

Tradition and Technoogy

#he pattern and the style of the art of ;hoto @ontage have undoubtedly changed a lot. #heart of photo montage has become much more complex and the scope of exercising originalityhas definitely broaden in the past few decade because of the massive development in the

field of technology. #echnology has made several inroads into this field and at the same timeit has endowed us with an opportunity to bring radical changes in its look and feel withoutaltering its basic pattern.

!ot "ere /u0taposition o& Image

;hoto @ontage is not )ust the mere )uxtaposition of a number of images rather it is a uniquemode of visual representation by collating and presenting the essence of diverse types ofimages into a unique whole. #herefore, the task is far more complex and intriguing thancreating a new image because here you will not be able to give full swing to yourimagination. hat you have to do is to choose some pictures with meticulous care Gbe careful

because this will be going to shape the future of your endeavor after gauging their creativeappeal astutely.

'ext comes the most vital stage of ;hoto @ontage. Here in this stage, you will have to mergethem into a unified whole for producing the desired effect. But remember that the final resulthas to be aesthetically pleasant and creative to the core. But what if you have to portray amessage through this visual medium It obviously takes some time. Be sure to a take step$by$step approach and for +od0s sake do not be in a hurry because ultimately you will mess upthe entire thing.

Creativity Couped With Technoogica Touch

#he most vital ob)ective of ;hoto @ontage is to cross the limit and the boundaries of cut$up

images by creating a surreal atmosphere from which the viewers will be able to view andunderstand what the exact thing you want to convey. Actually technology holds the key butthe chest is obviously your creative inputs. :ou can be an expert in ;hotoshop or Image=eady but unless you have that creative bend of mind, you will never be able to succeed inthis complex creative endeavor.
