# Photoshopping World Wonders Flooded Grand Canyon By Bianca | Published 2008-08-20 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photoshop-grand-canyon-flooded-photos References: [photoshoptalent](http://www.photoshoptalent.com/photoshop-contest/317/grand-canyon.html) These photoshopped images of the Grand Canyon were created by several users who entered them into a [photoshop contest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photoshop-co-editing). Making this feature particularly timely is the inclusion of the images of the flooded Grand Canyon. One shows a stream, complete with fish, appearing to gush through the infamous orange rock structure. Although we tend to generalize by saying “Photoshop,” [digital image manipulation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adobe-photoshop-app-for-iphone) is a wonderful tool. It lets dreamers create “photographs,” like these of the Grand Canyon, created entirely by their imaginations, taking the concepts from their minds to the screen to share with others. The PhotoshopTalent.com site challenged people to [manipulate a particular photo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prompt-to-edit) of the Grand Canyon. As you can see, the results are very diverse. The second set of images is from another PhotoShopTalent contest for a pyramid.
