Digital Photo Editing
50 years passes since the first digital arts works were published, and people still don’t know what they mean. Because of the many variations and meaning of terms used in digital arts, because of their virtual complex and of their different real-life meanings, many people don’t even bother to understand them Digital photography should include the photo printing form of computer edited images that are considered to meat the quality standard in order to be included in the digital arts category.
In a pure esthetic acceptation, the digital arts and its components, digital photo printing and editing, can not be discussed outside the context of the new media devices that make it possible. The history of digital arts has its conventions and conditions. Most people are referring to the tendency that is specific to the 70’s – 80’s when digital photography started to appear.
Today, digital arts have their own social environment. Past art collection were made up of unique and original object and no copies were as valued as the original, regardless of the improvements they might’ve brought to the art object. The objects kept the thoughts of the artist within its shapes and colors, made the artist still breathe throughout its meaning. That’s why, when you are buying a piece of traditional art, you buy in a way a part of the artist’s body. In case of digital arts, the corporal component is missing. The digital photo printing process can reveal a tangible image, but it starts out in an abstract computerized environment. The abstract work of art becomes tangible when it is printed on some sort of material. When printing, we give up the lights game we see on the computer. The artist conceived his work on a computer screen, that can not be illuminated as a painting is, it, by definition, radiates light and does not reflect it. This is precisely why buying a work of art online, may be disappointing when you get the result at home. Some wonder why artists don’t ameliorate the passing by modifying their work in such a way that lights don’t matter as much, but the answer is simple: art does not require modifications for any reason.
Some digital art galleries do offer the possibility of buying the digital format of the image. Some galleries, besides the online ones, expose digital design only on computer screen and never printed, due to this light source problems that can only be understood when you see the two images one next to the other. print digital photos
