Editors' Picks: Dramatic Digital Images

These are all fantastic pieces of art, but "digital" doesn't necessarily mean created by Photoshop.

ohhhh very nice.thay are Interesting

Is this photography? Or art? Or is it a mix of both? Or is it an entirely new form of expression? Whatever it is it's brilliant.

AbsoluteIy stunning images but I wouldn't call this photography... still - awsome imagery with the help of PS, plug-ins etc.

A century or so ago, painters said that photographers didn't produce art either. Now, you can create something digitally with or without photography, and manipulate it in a whole raft of programs.

Personally, I love to use Photoshop, Illustrator, Painter and ZBrush. As this is already enough for my tiny brain, I don't bother with video, audio, animation or 3D (and yes, I realise that ZBrush is a 3D paint program!)

Now, who put the insurance deals inside my "programs"??

this is definitely fine art. the ability of creating a virtual reality with ordinary elements is certainly the sens of artistic creation. it gives freedom to the creative imagination of the artist

No matter how you look at it, its art. Maybe art with the camera being one of the tools to create it. If you look how this web site, and many in the field rate art and photography, the criteria is Originality and Aesthetics. Photoshop doesn't create either. Congrats to the "artists" above. They achieved both!

Congratulation for all the above artists! Great work!

The wall and the freedom of choice

Here is one from my favourites.

After looking at these digital images I'm speechless... but I still can write, so I want to "say" congrats and thanks to all the people who share their art here. I'm an inexperienced Photo Shop user, and I really admire those who can do these masterpieces using digital editors. Very well done. CEV

"Digital" editing? "Digital" post-processing? Apart from mundane considerations, these are obviously "distinctions without a difference," as compared to so-called "traditional" film negative and print manipulation.

I mean, seriously, come on. Go ask Sally Mann about her "post-processing."
