From Analog to Digital Photography

-
Regarding the activity of the photo labs, every year were exposed about 1.2 billion square meters of photographic paper. The 12% is professional photo labs, the  Treaty 42% 46% in minilab and industrial plants in photofinishing.
Minilabs had opened new perspectives on work and earning. With an investment of approximately fifty thousand dollars, back in the 90′, you could buy a piece of equipment that can operate with good effectiveness in the field of digital photography. For example, you could retouch photographs or print these out of unusual materials as the custom shirts. It is possible to affirm that chemical photography, almost necessarily, were accompanied by the digital according with the demands of a constantly evolving market that claimed better quality and a significant reduction in costs.
The versatility of the new media,  allowed everyone to overcome those who have represented the limits of analog photography
Limitations that arose from the difficulties and sometimes the impossibility of carrying out a negative unsuccessful; by technical problems, physical and chemical tied to traditional systems such as incorrect exposure, non color control, upright,
not distortion and “difficulties” in getting the combinations of subjects incompatible.
 
Creativity in the design of photographic images was not necessarily threatened by the advent of new digital techniques indeed, being able to work digitally, the limit at which will no longer be possible to intervene on a photograph will be placed by the same operator. These must be first of all a total mastery of technique as well as a good knowledge about hardware and software systems available. This was to reiterate the photographer at who will determine the quality of the image.
However, the needed to take into strong consideration of being confronted with images peddled for photographs but, that in truth, they are not. Today we find a great number of photographs, in all kinds of printed matter, from newspapers to encyclopedias, from brochures to billboards. Whereas once printed, a very little remains of  the original image, in other words,  from the impression of photographic film, one can ask whether even the photographs that appear in newspapers, for example, printed with a coarse screening should be considered other than those completely made with digital techniques.
A film could record more accurately an image than a digital system, but lots of information, such as gradients, highlights, shadows,
details were  systematically reduced at each operation, starting from the negative print on photo paper. 
Technically, to get a photo, you must hold a camera, insert the film, set, if required, some  parameter, frame your subject and finally press the shutter button. At this point if you don’t use an instant camera , like Polaroid or you do not have a dark room , you must contact a developing and printing lab to see and use the images.
More than a few problem arose when the number of images to manage became hundreds or thousands.
So being able to sort and keep tabs on a large amount of images is a rather difficult task.

Since the birth of computer graphics to digital photography

Digital photography is one of the latest it applications, so that in this respect it may be useful to try to rebuild the technological path that led to the creation of computer graphics, which is that node from which all those applications that have somehow to do with graphics: from videogames to medical thermography, and engineering projects , not less, to digital photography. In the 1960s on the walls of many locals that housed computers, made a fine show of themselves, faces or abstract designs printed on paper, and this thanks to much expensive than bulky machinery, which almost have nothing more to do with the current personal computers. Those images, albeit devoid of aesthetic value or practical, were the first experiences in the field of creative computer graphics. In 1943, during World War II, a U.S. Army Colonel proposed designing a computing equipment for artillery. The challenge was collected by the University of Pennsylvania and "the unit" was introduc

About CCD

A computer processes information only in the form of numeric discrete units. An ordinary photograph can be considered as an analog representation of a scene , where information is recorded as a continuous stream of tones and colors.  To switch between a representation of this type in a digital image, those dots must be converted to into what might be called a mosaic of pixels, where the brightness of each one matches the brightness of the corresponding analog representation area.  The word pixel is short for picture element which is the smallest element of an electronic image. This can be compared, within certain limits, to grains of photographic emulsion.  A pixel is basically a tiny light-sensitive metallic element, that reacts in the presence of light, generating an electrical signal. Associating a number to each of these signals, it becomes possible to reconstruct, using a computer, a digital image. To "scan" an image were used tools such as scanners, video

The origin of the Photography “Visual representation of the world”

The age in which we live is characterized by the presence of a huge number of images that have invaded, essentially every area of information and communication. In the late 19th century many painters demonized photography stating that it threatened what until then was a domain of the ancient arts of drawing, painting, engraving Indeed, in “Visual representation of the world”, the painting could not compete at the level of realism with the photographic medium although early, that took on the challenge of this by stating a new realist intent . An example of this trend is evidenced by the personal exhibition of 1855, called Courbet Pavillon du Réalisme, as was the title of the magazine about new trends, Réalisme, appeared in 1856. For painting, that of realism, it was a losing battle but, there is no doubt about the extent of the benefits that derived from the development of photography. The latter broke free of the old canons of representation, by finding new ideas
