While digital photography has erased the realistic aspect of photography with its manipulative characteristics, it still retains some artistic appeal. There has to be some level of artistic ability going into the alteration of the image. Digital photography is discrete compared to the analog quality of traditional photography. This characteristic results in an infinite replicability, unlike painting and its photographic counterparts. An interesting sidenote revolves around how paintings are transformed into digital images. Do these digital images retain the same artistic value and appeal as the original or is something lost in the translation?
In what other areas (besides art) did digital photography have an impact? Was this impact as revolutionary as that on the artistic world?
