Photo Enhancements can alter and enhance your photo to improve its appearance. An altered photo should look as if it was taken that way. People, objects or clutter can be added, changed or retouched, giving a more satisfying appearance. When part of an image is removed, the missing pieces must be filled in. Replacing the entire background in the photo can make a startling improvement. Photo Enhancements can fill in the missing details so it looks as if no changes had ever been made.

Digital photo alteration

The coming of digital photography revolutionized the ability to alter photographs. The laborious darkroom manipulations of preceding times could be accomplished by a few commands in specialized photographic software.

In traditional photography, the reflected light from the subject enters the camera through the lens and is focused onto the surface of a light-sensitive emulsion. The emulsion records the image, which can be beamed onto light-sensitive photographic paper. The paper is subsequently treated with chemicals to make the image appear. It is during this latter printing process that the alteration of the photograph can be accomplished.

In digital photography, the reflected light that enters the camera is focused onto a chip that is known as a charged coupling device (CCD). The surface of the CCD contains an array of light-sensitive photo diodes. Each diode represents a pixel (the basic unit of programmable color in a computer image). Each photo diode is hooked up to a transistor, which sends an electrical signal (whose voltage corresponds to the light intensity that registered on the photo diode) to another chip. The second chip converts the electrical signal to digital information - 1s and 0s - that can be interpreted by computerized photo manipulation software programs.

Colors are assigned a code sequence between 0 and 255; 0 is black and 255 reveals the most intense shade of red possible by the software. These coded assignments are in turn converted to sequences of 0s and 1s. Black, for example, is 00000000, while the most intense red is 11111111. Shades in between are combinations of 0s and 1s in the eight-digit sequences.

Digital photo manipulation involves the alteration or elimination of the digital 1s and 0s. Changing an eight-digit sequence is trivial. When the digital information is reconstructed into an electronic image, the result can be an altered color.

In addition to color change, a myriad of effects are possible, including color enhancement, elimination of regions of the image, increased contrast, correction of a blurred image, and the merging of other images with the original image (a photographic version of the "cut and paste" operations in word processing).

As digital photo manipulation software has increased in technical sophistication, and people have become more adept at using the software, the task of detecting manipulated images has become very challenging. Digital photographic manipulation is now so sophisticated that it can sometimes be impossible to discern whether people or objects in a photograph were actually there when the photo was taken. This has spurred efforts, especially in the military and intelligence communities, to establish a system of image verification. In this regard, the United States Air Force Research Laboratory in Rome, New York, has developed a technique called digital watermarking. Akin to the watermarking of paper currency to establish authenticity, digital watermarking embeds an encrypted image over the actual photo image. The encrypted image is invisible to the naked eye, but can be detected by specially designed image scanners. The lack of the digital watermark is evidence of an altered image.

Digital cameras can also be mounted in satellites in orbit hundreds of miles above the Earth. These cameras can provide images that can be manipulated to allow objects that are as close to one another as a meter or two to be visually distinguished from each other. This resolution is a vast improvement from that possible using traditional light-sensitive photographic film. This form of digital photo manipulation has improved the capability of intelligence agencies to spy on other countries or organizations from a long distance.
