: What do you call the process of taking a real photo and adding new textures to it? I'm trying to find tutorials for certain types of photoshop image modifications, but I don't know what words
I'm trying to find tutorials for certain types of photoshop image modifications, but I don't know what words to search for. Things like "touching up" and "photo manipulation" aren't specific enough. Searching for "applying textures" results in a lot of subtle stuff that's not really what I'm after. I'm not asking for references to specific tutorials necessarily. I'm trying to figure out how to search for these types of photo modifications. What words should I google for? I'm interested specifically in things like:
taking a photo of a real person and making half their face be made of fire (like this one: )
taking a photo of a sword and making it look like the sword is all frosty like it was just taken from a freezer
taking a photo of a wolf and making the face more angry and leathery.
taking a photo of a book and making it look ancient and worn out.
EDIT:
Searching for "digital illustration" gave me a lot of good results. In particular it helped me find the following which is exactly what I was looking for:
psd.tutsplus.com/tutorials/photo-effects-tutorials/apply-textures-uneven-surfaces/
I've also been watching Deke's tutorials. They've helped a lot as well. Thanks!

The first example, and possibly the others, could be described as "compositing".
"Photoshop effects", "image special effects" and "Photoshop special effects" would be good starting points. The last two subsume under that category, but you're also likely to find those kinds of things if you search "photo retouching."
"Advanced photoshop" would be another search term likely to produce results.
An alternate approach would be to start at a site such as Deke McLelland's. Deke has the deep skills and quirky sense of humor that lend themselves to this kind of project, and he has dozens of excellent and entertaining tutorials showing how to create effects like the ones you describe.
