In Soviet Russia, image modifies you!

antikristuseke · 10-15-10, 05:02 PM

Image and even film edditing has been around for ages now. After stalin died he was eddited out from a lot of their propaganda viddeos by filming some random soldier ovr him shouting a patriotic slogan or some such crap. And this is just one example, they were doing the same sort of thing even centuries ago, lke painting a hunch on a particular englih kinds name just to gain political ground after his death etc.

By hand. Essentially just paint over whomever you want to get out of the pic.

On a more serious note, yeah, lots of image editing went on during the Soviet Union, and for that matter in other countries too. I suspect it was either done using the negatives or a very clever chap with a paintbrush.

Ah, here we are, there's a link for everything these days:

Let's put it this way - If Josef Stalin orders you to remove people's faces from pictures, you do it.

The order is a hint to what happens if you say it can't be done.

Photoshop is actually a collection of digital tools that allow digital images to be manipulated in ways that analog photographs have been manipulated since the invention of the camera.

Compositing, cutting and pasting, dodging and burning are all techniques familiar to photographers from the 1800's. PS simply makes it more accessible to people with computers.

the_tyrant · 10-16-10, 06:22 PM

All i can say is that soviets have no life, manipulating images like that would take them months probably
but of course, they would literally have no life if they didn't do it right

TarJak · 10-16-10, 06:27 PM

No a good photographic compositior could edit out a human figure in about 3-4 hours. About the same time as doing a good job in PS takes.

As to having no life, well everyone's lives are different so who am I to comment on who has one or not? I spend a lot of time on Subsim.
