Hello,
I was thinking of having an event and besides photography I wanted to include digital are an/or multimedia art.
I had read if you take a photo and change it that was considered multimedia art.
In checking again now I read that is digital art.
Could anyone provide clarification for this?
Thank you

I think the issue is 'is multimedia art or digital art, photography'? Photography can certainly be incorporated into multimedia or digital art. The question is at what point does it cease to be photography.

Photography can be used for lots of things. Certainly art is one. Yours seemed an odd comment.

What is with the "or." Sort of a "Do you still beat your wife questions?" In that it makes an assumption of a fact not in evidence.

The way I see it, photography is more about the process - capturing the image - than about the final product.

Well it is always photography and never ceases to be that. It can be part of digital art and part of Multimedia art.

Ad nauseum is as ad nauseum does.
The question, in my opinion, only becomes important when you want to join an exhibit or judging. What word did they use and in what context? Does your work qualify for inclusion? If not, look elsewhere.

Going to google I found the following: Digital a... (show quote)
And there is no mention of photography in this google definition!!
Photography, per se, is not art - it is a realistic visual record - presented in a way the phtographer decides is best. It remains such until bastardised by an aspiring "Artist" when it becomes a photograph no longer. MHO.

As with many things in life we decide and make our own definitions. Yes, things are defined in printed discussions... but who are those, like David Kay, Delderby, and Google, who do that defining and why is theirs better than your definition... So define as you want and will and define it when advertising your event.
If you wrote an article and if it was published and referred to many times then Google would add you to the list of definers of photography as/and art.

Wikipedia
A photograph (also known as a photo) is an image created by light falling on a photosensitive surface, usually photographic film or an electronic image sensor, such as a CCD or a CMOS chip. Most photographs are created using a camera, which uses a lens to focus the scene's visible wavelengths of light into a reproduction of what the human eye would see. The process and practice of creating such images is called photography. The word photograph was coined in 1839 by Sir John Herschel and is based on the Greek φῶς (phos), meaning "light," and γραφή (graphê), meaning "drawing, writing," together meaning "drawing with light."[1]

Multimedia cover a broad spectrum and is a fairly recent development of the digital age. It is actually the merging of several forms/platform of communication intertwined together.
Meaning; a mishmash of various video (mp4, avi, mov etc.), sound (mp3, wav, cbr etc.) or images (jpg, bmp, png etc.) compositing/carrier formats such as pdf, word, powerpoint, webpage, etc. and of course their software players/viewer and or the hardware/devices -PC, smart phones, etab etc.
With that, a photo by itself is not multimedia but it can be a part/element of a multimedia file/composition/system.
Art on the other hand if strictly defined; is the moment of completion. When nothing can be added or removed to improve something further.
Hence anything can become art should they fulfill that definition.
Other looser definition are there but those tend to dilute the quality and expectation of "art".

Define "change." Enhancing the color? Replacing the background? Adding people or objects?
For an art show, unless it's just photography, I would specify what's allowed: photography, sculpture, performance art, etc. If it's just photography, then I would allow whatever people want to submit - changed or not.

Not all photography is art, but it can be in the hands of those with skill and more importantly - creative vision.
