Photo Manipulation

Digital Photo Manipulation is a vertical that was born from the significant development in the field imaging and photography namely the advent of Digital imaging. With digital camera fast becoming the norm rather than the exception digital imaging is all prevailing. Not only has the conventional film camera becoming close to obsolete driven the changes,the other major contributing element is our prevalent way of life in which storage of any document or entertainment is by far digital and digital only. They way we view and access these records are through Personal Computers, laptops, tablets, Smartphones and the like. Given the overall combination our move to digital forms are absolute. Photography and images are no exception to this trend, if any they are harbingers to this trend. That being the case, little surprise then that digital image enhancement and digital image editing is now a very specialised field. With personnel trained and qualified to use the leading softwares, techniques and tools to not only create the perfect images but to to do so quick.

Couple of techniques we are going to look into now are removing object from photos and the process to remove marks from photos. These to are similar and complementary process partly one more macro the other micro.

As the names suggest both processes be it removing objects from images or be it removing marks from images. Both involve digitally editing the photographs and removing elements be it objects to be it marks, spots, smudges and the like. To carry this out the experts in the field of image editing and enhancement first analyse the frame and compositing of the photograph and then identify the objects that need to be removed and asses the effect it will have to the overall composition of the image in terms of empty space and awkward spaces. Once the effects are estimated the photo editing staff using advanced image editing software mark out the objects to be removed and the then remove it from the image. If it disturbing object is in the periphery it is a lot easier to eliminate it, even cropping the image might help. If it is close to the subject the process is a little more complicated, even more so if it is in between subjects that need to continue being part of the photograph. In such cases the editors not only remove the disturbing object they also re-compose the elements to ensure the spaces do not look jarring and unnatural and in turn make it apparent to the viewer the object was removed. In such cases due care is taken to ensure that the image looks natural and perfect. By re-composing the elements in the photograph to ensure they fit in well. The principal is similar with removing of specks and marks, only it is a lot finer and one needs to ensure that the specks and marks are removed but at the same time the color tone and texture of the image is retained and is contiguous more so on the spots and place where the pecks and marks have been removed and cleaned.

Photo Enhancements to counter the tricks light plays

Light possibly is the most critical element for vision, same is the case with a camera capturing images. It is the rays of light falling on the lenses and there on going on to the sensor that is the basic of photography. The equipment and all other elements apart the one element that is equally important at all times is light. Light is paramount to photography, it is a boon and a bane alike. Like the old adage goes ‘live by the sword, die by the sword’. A photograph is made or broken by light. As a photographer one needs to use light and use it well. Make it your best ally. Every and any photographer understands and respects the importance of light and realizes well the havoc it can create in the images he or she shoots.

The only respite today is the fact that many of these flaws that light causes on photographs can be rectified and enhanced post photo shoot using image editing and enhancement softwares. The most likely services sought of image enhancement experts with regards to flaws created by factors relating to light are image red eye correction, image contrast correction and photo exposure editing services. We will look at each of these services and phenomenons that create the flaws which in turn need rectifications.

Red eye is a phenomenon that occurs when the camera is close to the subject and the flash is used. The subject here in being a person or an animal. Light as we all know travels at very high speeds and when the camera is used up close with a powerful flash, the light travels fast and through the pupils. The pupils have no time to react leading to capture the eyes of subject in reddish color or a variation of red or orange. Since the images are captured with a red tint on the eyes, the phenomenon is called Red eye, and the correction of the same is called red eye correction. This is done using image editing softwares. Today many online albums and applications providing albums, storage of photographs, picture viewing application. Many of them provide the basic version of the tool that carries out red eye correction.

Contrast correction as the name suggests is carried out when the image captured ha flawed contrast, make the picture not clear and subject not being highlighted.This largely occurs depending the intensity and the quality of ambient light or light used during the shoot. Image editing softwares are used to correct the flawed contrasts and convert them into images with perfect contrasts highlighting the subject of the photograph.

Photo exposure correction is a very critical service, since this is a very sensitive area and not only difficult to get right,but there are times we are forced to use a particular exposure time which though would serve a purpose but would lead to a flawed exposure, compromising the quality of the photograph. At such times it is a blessing to image enhancements carried out to the photograph and have the flawed exposure corrected and the image made perfect. Exposure to explain briefly is the amount of time the shutter of the camera is kept open allowing the light to pass through the lenses on the sensor that forms and captures the image. Lower or longer the shutter speed, allowing that much more light in. Typically in low light situation or when one wants a very wide angle captured, one slows the shutter down so as to allow that much more light pass through. When the ambient light is bright one tends to use faster shutter speeds to ensure too much light does not pass through and cause overexposure and lense flares. This is a critical adjustment and partly a question of judgement. Also for certain image enhancement techniques photographers shoot with varying exposures to then have all the images used for blending. The primary service though is to rectify a flawed exposure.

These three are the typical flaws that light causes in photographs and all of them thankfully can be rectified and the photograph perfected with image enhancement softwares and techniques available to us today.

One image from many – Image editing services out of India

There a few techniques in digital image editing that combines more than one image to create on single image. There is the blending services, there is the image stitching services and the panoramic image  stitching services. We are not exploring them, they in a way are related. In these it is images of the same object shot varyingly or a large object shot in pieces and then stitched together. In that sense the subject is related or one the same.  We are exploring two other techniques that involve largely independent images many a times not part of the same shoot or place. They can be very different or even if similar not is the same way as in blending and stitching.

The second bunch that we are going to explore also shares on commonality with the earlier bunch, to the extent that these techniques also strive to use multiple images to tell a story. We are looking at photo merging and collage creation. Many a times both these techniques need to be complemented with service of photo background changer. These image editing services are today carried out by experts working across the globe and India is fast emerging a hub for these services with an abundance in skilled human resource who are trained and experienced in the field of image editing and enhancements.

Photo merging services in India is very popular and competitive. With services being provided at competitive prices and with consistently high quality same is the case with collage creation in India. Photo merging is when two or more images are used and merged together. The reasons and the need for this could be varied. When there are multiple subjects which have been shot extremely well and have been captured in different images one might want to merge them both to capture the best of both the objects. Or it could be two different images from different times and places of the the same or complimenting subjects that once wanted to merge. Another application could be to showcase before and after in a same image when advertising a service or effect of a product. Where in the two images of the subject before and after are merged and made into one image to show the viewer the difference and hence the effectiveness. Merging it into one image makes it easy to make a visual comparison and hence the message a lot more powerful. Collage is probably an artform as old as paper, in its origin people tended use different art forms and paste it onto a board to create one single work of art, it would at times include scraps of paper , cloth and the like. The same artform grew into photographs where in multiple images were put into together to tell a story. It could be a whole bunch of childhood and growing up photographs of a person or family to a given point which could be in the present moment. A way of reminiscing and celebrating the journey thus far. It could be a tribute to one particular person’s life sharing different facets of that person. Collages of a person achievements or work. Brands make collages of their products and services and how they have involved. Examples are endless. Collages are essentially a bunch of photographs and images put together to make one image that tells you a story. A story told in images and photographs, multiple images made into one to tell the whole story.
