What is Image Manipulation?

Image Manipulation or Photo Manipulation

involves transforming or altering a

photograph using various methods and
techniques to achieve desired results.
BASIC TECHNIQUES
1. Rendering your images
Cutting out image and carrying it to where we
will use it for a manipulation .
2. Shadows
To make shadow you have to duplicate your
original stock that you need the shadow for.
Then turn it completely black. Then add
gaussian blur to it. Then you can reduce it in
size and put in the correct place.
3. Proportion
Images that are supposed to be far away have to
be smaller than the once that closer to you.
4. Texture use
Textures don’t necessarily add to realism of your
art, but they do add a nice kick to blend all
your images together.
5. Picking stock images
Cutting out stock images but some stock images
are sometimes just taken at bad angles or slight
blurriness .
6. Color blending
Things like photo filters and gradient maps are
used in photoshop to either add or take away
color in your images. This either gives a certain
image that little boost of color or takes away
that extra color. This helps the images blend
with another.
7. Emphasis on detail
When creating a piece of art set one area as the
main focus. You have to draw viewers eyes
instantly to that spot. One way is to work on
focusing attention on the most vibrant, colorful
or sharp area in the design.
8. Combining multiple images
Combining multiple images are like puzzle
pieces. You may need to look at multiple stock
images before choosing the right ones for your
composition. You need to plan your
composition, consider where the stock images
will go decide the kind of images you’ll need to
find.
9. C4D uses
C4D’s are 4D images made from a program
named cinema 4D.
10.Enhancing stock images
Stock images are often plain. It is your job to turn
them into something more attractive to the eye.
This is where stock enhancement come into
play.
