CGI refers to any image created with computer-based processors or programs. It's used in art, print media, video games, television, commercials, and movies like 'Avatar'. Software for CGI includes Paint.net, Xara Extreme, Inkscape, Draw Plus, Pencil, Picasa, and Corel PaintShop Pro X5.
Digital photography uses electronic and computing appliances to capture, create, edit, and share digital images. It functions to record history, storing outputs in BMP format. Tools include electronic digital cameras (point-and-shoot and DSLR), computing devices (webcams, scanners), and digital photography software for editing image attributes.
Technology-based art (TBA) or digital art utilizes computers and electronic devices to create works that can be physical or virtual. These artworks are easily mass-produced and presented through digital technology.
Key processes include morphing (smooth transitions between images), seriation (producing a series from a single image), pixel manipulation (creating effects with small dots), fractalizing (making forms with geometric patterns), and sporizing (making forms appear in a reflecting orb).
Mobile phone art encompasses creative works made using mobile phones, from traditional art forms to digital and 3D art. Mobile photography, enabled by phone cameras, is a new art form. Popular manipulation apps are Pixlr, Pick Collage, Doodle Booth, Photo Booth, Magic Mirror, Pick Monkey, Flipagram, Pixart, Snapseed, and Instagram.
Video games are played by manipulating electronic images on a display screen, using specialized gaming devices, computers, or mobile devices. Modern video games are sophisticated experiences that promote learning and brain plasticity through active engagement.
Digital painting combines a computer, graphics tablet, and software to create art. It can mimic traditional painting mediums but employs computer software to drive robotic devices or printers instead of an artist's hand. The finished work is stored virtually and shared online.
Video technology offers real-time solutions for capturing, editing, and publishing video content to various platforms for social media. In medical and scientific fields, image video is crucial for visualizing internal body structures for clinical examination, diagnosis, and treatment of infections.
