The History And Steps Behind Photo Manipulation

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.

After the task has been completed, the desired outcome of the snap will be used to tell lies about someone since it will show a person doing something different from the actual picture. This happens mostly when it is displayed on a public place or on a magazine. It is done by playing around with the snapshot, its background and everything present on it making them look nice or bad.

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.

In politics, it has been used to convince the viewers about statements used by a certain politician. This is because a small change in a picture of someone can change how you judge them. These manipulated photos can also use then to destroy a certain politician reputation especially when manipulated to destroy the picture or image in viewers mind.

In the media, journalists make use of portrait manipulation to fit a certain picture of place, item or person on the front page of a newspaper. They use this task to compare two things hence making them seem too distant from the other despite the fact the two are close.
