Is a Photomorph considered art?

Even just a Photo can be considered art if it has sertain properties.

But backe to Photomorphs.
Is it really art or isn't it?

Here's an exampel
I shortened this car made it a hatchback and lowered the Sideskirts.

The more common term is [i]photo-manipulation[/i] -- photomanip (or simply "manip") for short.

It [i]is[/i] a kind of art. But exactly what kind and how appreciated it is compared to other, more traditional media, that depends on who you ask.

Would people go to museum to look at it? If not, it isn't art.

Art is subjective, and certainly not defined by whether it'd fit in at the Louvre.

Photomanipulation is considered a form of art, though due to copyright infringement and intellectual property issues, a lot of art sites don't accept photomanips without a rigorous source list.

They're not allowed on FAC, that much I'm pretty sure of Smile

I don't think they're "art" (In the sense of art=A Painting of trees or something. LOL SUBJECTIVITY). I put Photomanips in the Same category as Vector traces of things. Nice to look at, but I wouldn't call either art as easily as I would a Picture by Imperial Boy. :V

I don't think it would. It's more of a way to take someone elses work spiff it up a bit and sell it as you own. It looks more like a means to copy another piece of work in a shorter time making copy righting easier for the guilty.
