Restoration of old photos-the earliest and most primitive manual PS

Photography has a history of one hundred years in China, recording an extremely important historical stage. Black and white tones, simple scenery, old wooden cameras, in those days, it was expensive to take a photo, and small photos carried heavy memories. Film retouching technology has been accompanied since the emergence of photography technology. It can be said that photo retouching and photography complement each other on the whole, but photography is in the foreground and retouching is in the darkroom in the background, so many people don't understand the previous darkroom technology.

The film repair technician plays an important role. They don't face customers directly, but maybe they spend the most time observing you. A pencil and a bottom repair box with sufficient light source, facing a small negative, polish the portraits of people one by one with a pencil until the defects fade away, and most of the beautification effects are painted on the negative by hand. In the past, people didn't take photos and make up as well as they do now, and they didn't need eyelashes and make up contact lenses. When they take a good photo, it will look like it on the negative. If the photos they take have some portrait defects, such as a little upturned hair and a little drooping mouth, the person who repairs the negative will repair it directly on the negative. Because of the process of film retouching, most customers will take photos in the studio, and the photos will be more beautiful than themselves. This is the earliest and most primitive handmade PS.
