Before taking a graphic design class I didn’t know much about photoshop. After reading these articles I found them to be very interesting. Its amazing how there was no photoshop and how Jerry Uelsmann would shape his own photos. In the article Incredible Manipulated Photography Before Photoshop they said that he was “skilled and diligent creative has produced remarkably believable surreal landscapes by hand in the dark room. Without the aid of photo editing software, Uelsmann uses multiple negatives and up to a dozen enlargers to create composite images that boast a wild imagination”. He would work on his pictures by hand and no help from photoshop. Now having photoshop I couldn’t imagine having to work on something by hand in a dark room. It differently took a lot of time and hard work into his pictures. We should be happy now that we have photoshop because where would we be today without it.
