image distortion

**Image Distortion**

Image distortion refers to any alteration or deformation of an image that changes its original appearance. This can occur intentionally through various editing techniques or unintentionally due to lens imperfections, processing errors, or compression artifacts. Common types of image distortion include geometric distortion (such as barrel or pincushion effects), color distortion, and noise. Understanding image distortion is important for photographers, graphic designers, and web developers to ensure high-quality visuals and accurate representation of images across different media.
