Photography has been around for hundreds of years, but rapid changes have transformed the field. Many people primarily think of how cameras themselves have changed, but photography is much more than just cameras. Photo editing has also evolved in leaps and bounds. What once took hours and even weeks to do can now be done within a matter of minutes. Over the past one hundred years’ photography as a whole has been revolutionized by modern innovation and technology. One hundred years ago cameras used film, originally named Daguerreotype, to capture images. Original film works by the reflection of light—which travels at different wavelengths for different colors—striking the film, and an inverse image is burned into the film. The chemicals in

The company “[used] thin glass plates rather than copper giving a much better image quality” (Row ¶ 3). This film was still rigged and difficult to use, slides would have to be inserted and retrieved one by one. Motivated by this inconvenience, the Eastman Kodak company researched and invented “the first flexible film” (Row ¶3) in 1885. They led the way for the portable, quick reloading cameras. Cameras advanced in 1888 to a point where a roll of film was placed within the camera inside of a casing and rolled out inside the body, much like modern disposable cameras. This allowed for a less likely chance of the film to be overexposed and allowed for the quicker capturing of pictures. Immediately after taking a picture on one slide of film, the role was twisted and the next slide was ready within seconds. (Milestones | Kodak ¶ …show more content…
CCD sensors produce less noise in the final image; noise is the random color pixilation within an image that is more noticeable when an image is blown up large scale. Better sensors allow for larger and more lifelike images, which meant that when editing you can select closer to the edge of a shape and edit pixels individually. As editing became easier and cameras became available to the general public more people started to use the technology. The increase in use funded the industry and increased the drive for
