Something I'm unsure about - if I take a photo and run effects and art filters on it, is that considered art? I hope it is, but it's just a photo with some filter effects

• Which leads me to this - if I take an image that i don't even know where it originated from and do various stuff to it, would that be considered art? If so, how different would it need to be?

I do a lot of stuff like this for my blogs and webpages, but have no idea if it is art or not, so I don't tend to share much of it on Hive.
