Digital image
editing is the process of altering digital images, whether they be digital
photographs or other types of digitally represented images. Specialised
software programs called vector graphics editors or raster graphics editors
are the primary tools with which a user may manipulate, enhance, and transform
images. These editors are capable of editing images in many diverse ways.
Digital imaging is closely associated with digital photography
and is used extensively in the fields of digital art, science, medicine,
and forensics.
Image editors provide the means for altering and improving
images in an almost endless number of ways. They accept images in a large
variety of image formats, and after changes are made they allow the changed
image to be saved in any number of image formats, at almost any size,
and in varying degrees of compression. Most serious digital camera users
will find the facilities of such a tool indispensable. In the hands of
amateurs, they will obviously render amateurish results. However, for
a beginner, the novelty of the power and features available to them, combined
with their ease of use, image editing can be a lot of fun.
