Impact And How Photo Manipulation Started

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.

They are considered immoral since are used for deceiving the viewers especially in media and propagandas. This can also be done to make it look more attractive on the eye than the actual thing. The manipulation can be done on human images, animals or any other kind of a portrait.

It is an art form when made by a trained person who is able to create a difference from the original picture. They are able to change the facial expression of a person the picture hence changing the mood from the time the snap was taken. In this case, the amount of picture light and the color is added or reduced by the use of a computer or manually according to the expert desire.

Manually, the process is done by brushing an additional paint on air. This task is carried out from a dark room. Also, the process can be done from a computer which is digital hence it will give the wanted product faster and it is more accurate that manual. A persons portrait is cut from a group photo and produce as one man leaving a question to the owner on when the snapshot was take.

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.

The technology that helped people to take photographs and develop them was hard to understand in early 19th Century. This continued until late 20th Century when photography entered the new digital realm.

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, this is a common thing since they enlarge a person on cover page of the paper changing the size and the actual looks. A journalist can be prosecuted and imprisoned or fine a lot of money.
