Photomontage

<p>Photomontage is the process and the result of making a <a href="/facts/Compositing/xGdHadIj">composite</a> photograph by cutting, gluing, rearranging and overlapping two or more photographs into a new image. Sometimes the resulting <a href="/facts/Compositing/xGdHadIj">composite image</a> is photographed so that the final image may appear as a seamless physical print. A similar method, although one that does not use film, is realized today through <a href="/facts/Graphics_software/81h9n4M2">image-editing software</a>. This latter technique is referred to by professionals as "<a href="/facts/Digital_compositing/HcfAWpXB">compositing</a>", and in casual usage is often called "<a href="/facts/Photo_manipulation/HfFJFmFg">photoshopping</a>" (from the name of the popular software system). A composite of related photographs to extend a view of a single scene or subject would not be labeled as a montage, but instead a <a href="/facts/Stitched_image/zq16A2y1">stitched image</a> or a <a href="/facts/Digital_image_mosaic/3TNT47Mv">digital image mosaic</a>.
