• Photomanipulation

First view this journal by ^WilderWein77 : Gallery Description.

"The Photomanipulation section is dedicated to digital photographs that have undergone post processing and/or editing via the use of a graphical imaging software. The extent of manipulation should be prominent and noticeable in ways where it can be clearly distinguishable from an unaltered photograph.
A Photomanipulation consists of more than one image blended together in a way that exceeds digital darkroom techniques – in other words, a photomanipulation no longer focuses on merely enhancing any given photo, but on creating something entirely new.".

• Mixed Media

First view these news articles :
- Digital Mixed Media by ^cosmosue.
- Digital Art & Mixed Media gallery! by `kuschelirmel.

"Digital Mixed Media is a visual work of art created using two or more types of digital mediums" : Paintings/Drawings/Airbrushing, Photomanipulation, 3-Dimensional, Fractals and Vectors/Vexels.

• Digital > Misc

You used a photo that is NOT yours and made some enhancements, some levels changes, use filters (**), add texture(s)?
Then it goes to Digital > Misc.

• Photography > darkroom

You use your own photo and make some enhancements, some levels changes, use filters (**), add texture(s?
Then it goes to Photography > darkroom > digital.


(**) What are the "changes" :
* Images containing one photo;
* Brightness/contrast, Levels, Curves;
* Color enhancements;
* Addition of textures (credit must be given to providers of resources unless original textures by artist are used);
* Addition of brushes (credit must be given to providers of resources unless original brushes by artist are used);
* Use of HDR techniques and software.

• Did you know that Photomanipulations are works consisting of two or more photos merged together to create something altogether different than the original images?

• Did you know that texture on a stock photo puts your deviation in Digital Art > Miscellaneous, while texture on a photo taken by yourself puts your work in Photography > Digital Darkroom?

• Did You Know that running a photo (stock or not) through various filters, so called 'artistic filters' places your deviation in Digital Art > Miscellaneous?

• Did you know that sites such as Google, Flickr and photobucket are NOT valid stock resources?
(Treat all images as copyrighted and unusable unless specifically stated otherwise)

• Did you know that drawing or writing on top of a picture does not constitute as a photomanipulation?

• Did you know that Mixed Media is a combination of two or more artforms within either TRADITIONAL or DIGITAL works and not the two artforms combined?
