What is this strange place I've walked into - images from ..

Forgive the rant. I need some constructive perspective.

I've walked into a dark cave I've never been before though a strange de javu
permeates my senses. I don't know where I am and I don't know where the cave
is. I think I'm lost.

Back to reality. How would you define the following:

- A digital (or scanned film) photo is reworked in a photo editor.
- Final prints are giclee.

More specific? The image is manipulated for brightness, contrast, gamma and
a standard effect such as watercolour is applied. Proofs and finals are made
on high quality substrates.

I mean, what is it? For instance, photography or digital media or do I need
a psychiatrist?

Thanks in advance.

What is it? It's simply a photograph manipulated digitally.
Whatever it's finally labelled as shouldn't really matter.
