Image Manipulation refers to a process of bringing changes to a digitized image for
transforming it to a desired image. The changes are made possible by resorting to
image processing. Image manipulation is utilized to create magazine covers and
albums from photographs. A single photograph may be modified to suit the
requirement, or several photographs can be combined to form a collage. Currently,
there are numerous software applications ranging from professional applications to
basic imaging software (https://www.yundle.com/terms-definitions/i/image-
manipulation).

Image editing is an enjoyable activity, but it entails a lot of patience and creativity.
As a photo editor, you must have an eye for art. Bear in mind that the pictures you
will come up with support the idea that you wish to convey.
