P ractice Section 3. Creating Digital Images 3.4 Image manipulation and imaging software Introduction When creating digital images for information-based resources, it will often be the case that as close an adherence to the original object, be it a 'real' physical object or photographic representation etc., will be desired at all stages of image creation. This is called maintaining fidelity with the original.
