Impact And How Photo Manipulation Started

By John Richardson


This is the process of changing looks, appearance and the signature of the photo. The technique uses different system and methods to achieve the preferred outcome. Making photo manipulation is considered to be dexterous while others do not require any skills at all.

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.

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.

This process started many years ago when there were no cameras and the images were used to be captures in tins and glasses in 19th Century. The person who discovered the Manipulation process was known as Joseph Nicephore Niepce who made the first photograph in 1825. He created the heliography and by the use of photoengraved plate, he printed the first snap.

Back in 19th Century, many people did not know the theory behind it and its production. Slowly, the art started to move from manual to digital and the people started accepting it in 20th Century.

However, the digital photography was rejected at first by the photographers having an excuse the photographs were poor quality. Early 21st Century, the digital world made a big photography stride by advancing the technology used to make those cameras. This is because the camera weight has been reduced and also the size making it possible to be curried anywhere anytime.

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.
