Modern software applications, like Photoshop and 3d Studio MAX, open a whole new way of image production and editing. Human imagination is really boundless if armed with enough tools and instruments to turn all the creative ideas, generated in the brains, into live art samples. Surely, we cannot change the reality, but we can try making this in the cyber world. Image manipulation at Photoshop is one of the ways to do so.

After the launch of CS5, Photoshop gives digital artists and designers even more tools to manipulate images and create the most futuristic and unusual visual effects. We have gathered some of the works to illustrate what can be done with images and how far human imagination can fly. These pictures do not work only as a manifestation of high capabilities of modern image editing applications, like Photoshop, but they are also very inspirational and motivational themselves.
