In imaging science, image processing is processing of images using mathematical operations by using any form of signal processing for which the input is an image, a series of images, or a video, such as a photograph or video frame; the output of image processing may be either an image or a set of characteristics or parameters related to the image.

Most image-processing techniques involve treating the image as a two-dimensional signal and applying standard signal-processing techniques to it.

Images are also processed as three-dimensional signals with the third-dimension being time or the z-axis.

Rendering or image synthesis is the process of generating an image from a 2D or 3D model (or models in what collectively could be called a scene file) by means of computer programs.

Also, the results of such a model can be called a rendering.

A scene file contains objects in a strictly defined language or data structure; it would contain geometry, viewpoint, texture, lighting, and shading information as a description of the virtual scene.

The data contained in the scene file is then passed to a rendering program to be processed and output to a digital image or raster graphics image file.

The term "rendering" may be by analogy with an "artist's rendering" of a scene.

Though the technical details of rendering methods vary, the general challenges to overcome in producing a 2D image from a 3D representation stored in a scene file are outlined as the graphics pipeline along a rendering device, such as a GPU.

A GPU is a purpose-built device able to assist a CPU in performing complex rendering calculations.

If a scene is to look relatively realistic and predictable under virtual lighting, the rendering software should solve the rendering equation.

The rendering equation doesn't account for all lighting phenomena, but is a general lighting model for computer-generated imagery.

'Rendering' is also used to describe the process of calculating effects in a video editing program to produce final video output.

Marketing automation refers to software platforms and technologies designed for marketing departments and organizations to more effectively market on multiple channels online (such as email, social media, websites, etc) and automate repetitive tasks.

Image editing encompasses the processes of altering images, whether they are digital photographes, traditional photochemical photographs, or illustrations.

Traditional analog image editing is known as photo retouching, using tools such as an airbrush to modify photographs, or editing illustrations with any traditional art medium.

Graphic software programs, which can be broadly grouped into vector graphics editors, raster graphics editors, and 3D modelers, are the primary tools with which a user may manipulate, enhance, and transform images.

Many image editing programs are also used to render or create computer art from scratch.
