"There are no dictionary entries for photo montage, but photo, montage are spelled correctly."

This was the result I got when I searched photo montage on dictionary.com. It made me laugh. :D


Wikipedia was much more helpful.

"Photomontage is the process (and result) of making a composite photograph by cutting and joining a number of other photographs. The composite picture was sometimes photographed so that the final image is converted back into a seamless photographic print. The same method is accomplished today using image-editing software. The technique is referred to by professionals as "compositing", and in casual usage is often called "photoshopping".[1]"


Yeah, I'm struggling with a Digitial Illustration project. It's only the final and it's only worth half the grade for the quarter....
