Art and Computer

In another definition of Art is “something that possesses aesthetic qualities that means the object has characteristics of beauty or is pleasing to the eye”. (Erin McGuire-Lytle, 1999:p2) Therefore, on the other side, when the photos are scanned into a computer, the first thing is to think about how to cut and trade-off and how to remove the affect of the effect of the extra features. In the software of Photoshop, there are only two ways to remove the extra features, first is cut off and the second is cove up. Cut off the extra feature, you can guarantee to outstand the central theme. Using the method chosen or remove can remove out some unwanted scenes, so that a more concise picture is simpler to highlight the theme effect. In a word, a post-production of photographs is often used the way to cover up. The use of Photoshop layer and cover functions can make some minor scenes and something interfere with the goal of subjects are covered up. This is one of the methods to use in computer technology.
