Editing Digital art (section)

== Art that uses digital tools ==
Digital art can be purely computer-generated (such as [[fractal]]s and [[algorithmic art]]) or taken from other sources, such as a [[Image scanner|scanned photograph]] or an image drawn using [[vector graphics]] software using a [[Computer mouse|mouse]] or [[graphics tablet]]. Artworks are considered [[digital painting]]s when created similarly to non-digital [[painting]]s but using [[software]] on a computer platform and digitally outputting the resulting image as painted on [[canvas]].

Despite differing viewpoints on digital technology's impact on the arts, a consensus exists within the digital art community about its significant contribution to expanding the creative domain, i.e., that it has greatly broadened the creative opportunities available to professional and non-professional artists alike.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Bessette, Juliette |author2=Frederic Fol Leymarie |author3=Glenn W.
