After more than fifty years from the first manifestations of digital arts, some people still are confused by this term. Because of the many variations and meaning of terms used in digital arts, because of their virtual complex and of their different real-life meanings, many people don’t even bother to understand them We call sometimes web galleries full of edited images an online art gallery, and maybe we should also call the photo printing of these images a form of digital art also.

Digital photo printing and editing can not be properly explained if we chose not to refer to computers and software programs that allow the artists to give life to their works. The history of digital arts has its conventions and conditions. Most people are referring to the tendency that is specific to the 70’s – 80’s when digital photography started to appear.

Today, digital arts have their own social environment. The traditional art collector looks for uniqueness, for hand-made things. Traditional art objects are sort of tied to their artists, in such a way that they seem a component part of them. This is why art dealing is so much alike slavery, because when you own a piece of art you enslave a part of the respective artist. In the case of digital arts, there is no artist connection, there’s just an abstract creator behind the display. The digital photo printing process can reveal a tangible image, but it starts out in an abstract computerized environment. The abstract work of art becomes tangible when it is printed on some sort of material. But printing will change the light relationship substantially. Computer works have a certain light disposition that is lost through printing because the monitor possesses self illuminations while paper requires a source of light in the exterior. A computer image that gets printed can be totally changed after it’s placed on paper because of this change in the light related settings. Some wonder why artists don’t ameliorate the passing by modifying their work in such a way that lights don’t matter as much, but the answer is simple: art does not require modifications for any reason.

Fanatic collectors can buy the digital photo in its initial format, on a computer disk from some galleries. The wonder of digitalized arts is best seen on a computer, that’s why digital frames under the form of large LCDs are exposed in digital art galleries. photo printing services
