Evolution And Treads Photo Manipulation Has Taken

By John Richardson


Pictures are altered manually and digitally to portray another image by use of different methods. This method of photo manipulation is used to achieve the expected outcome after resetting the picture. Some of these tasks require skills to perform while other are done without any knowledge depending on the purpose.

Most of them are used to deceive and convincing the viewer about something that did not actually happened especially when aired in TVs, Radio nor printed in newspapers and magazines. The other way to do this work is to improve the image of a person, place or anything about photograph. They can be made to look attractive and desired.

A photographic artist can change the look on a person in the picture look different creating a unique appearance hence considered art form. These experts are also able to change the signature of the picture leaving it totally different from the original one. They can also add or reduce the amount of light on a picture creating a dark or light skinned person from the machine.

This process can be done manually by adding ink and brushing it on air in a dark room or through the use of installed program in a computer. They can cut one person from a group in a picture and produce the picture of a single person at the scene. This software range from trained programs to basic programs used in casual exploitation.

The evolution of picture Manipulation is dated back in the 19th Century during the times when there were no cameras and the snaps used to be taken on tins and glasses. This process was discovered by Joseph in 1825 and he did so after he took his first photo. He produced his first portrait from and engraved plated when Heliography was invented.

It was hard to understand the technology behind the picture taking and production in early 19th Century. Thank you to the technology that in the 20th Century, this work entered the digital era and people started to embrace it.

At first, people rejected the introduction of digital photography saying they were of worthless. Early 21st Century, things changed the introduction of digital cameras was introduced. Every photographer bought it and started producing high quality things than ever before. The size of the camera was also reduce making it possible to be curried everywhere inside the trouser or coat pocket. The camera was small hence gave them a chance to explore taking snaps they like.

The manipulation is largely used by politicians to destroy the rival image. Politicians use them to convince their supporters they are the best and not the person on the destructed snap. They are able to attain this because small changes made on the photo leaves it saying differently from the original picture. They can also be used to destroy a politician reputation.

Journalist also uses this trick to attract the viewers. This can be done to show two thing which are at a distance very close or those close ones at for apart. They enlarge a person to fit the front page of the magazine hence creating a different image to the viewer. This act of changing images of a person or private property appear different can cost a journalist a lot of money if the property owner or the person on the paper sues the media.
