Yet without the computer, you cannot get heavily manipulated/composited imagery. It's the computer that allows for the creation of what the OP is describing. I call that digital art.

There are painters that base their work on a photograph, trying to copy it exactly. Since it started with a photograph would you also consider their painting to be a photograph on canvas?!

If the computer/photoshop is a necessity to get the end result of the photographic print - it's digital art. If a viewer would not be able to tell if the image were from film or a digital camera it is photography.
