Early digital manipulation on San Marco Square spot

-
The art of painting accepted the new role played by photography in scope for the expression and communication through pictures, such as the cinema has had to revise its ways of “story telling” by establishing new originality than television.
Similarly, we might say, the “traditional photography” had to accept the advent of the new digital dimension, gaining technologically and aesthetically as the limits of expressive possibilities of photography have moved forward and not a little in the context of communication.
At the same time as the advent of digital technology, in the universe of photographic representation, developed a lively debate between the proponents of “new” and the defenders of tradition. Some professionals considered digital photography as a simple fashion, borrowed from other industries and destined to run out quickly.
Others refused or ignored it, fearing that it may intervene negatively on “purity” of the photographic image.

Digital technology has, in fact, caught on in many areas of information and communication and this was evidenced by the proliferation of digital image treatment, as in many audiovisual products available. An example was the commercial advertising Barilla, with its lush green lawns in San Marco square.
From many points of view, photography was lagging compared to cinema or television in the adoption of digital technologies, even if in the market, especially for some time, there were many professional digital cameras,

In the professional sector, many problems arose towards the protection of the work of the photographer. A digital image is vastly more manipulable, for example, than a negative and, therefore, easier to use by unauthorized persons.
A Professional photographer should, in any way, safeguard the value of the investment.
Very expensive electronic equipment such as computer and software, evolve to a awesome speed and what today you can buy for ten, tomorrow will be worth one, because the placing on the market of a more modern depreciate the previous one.
Learn how to use the equipment is as well as an economic investment, also a considerable effort, for any person, professional and not, that in any case, can still rely on a traditional Photo booming market.

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

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
