One of the coolest projects I had during undergrad was in photography class. Digital cameras were not allowed. The teacher gave us an assignment to “photoshop” a print using only what we find in the red room (meaning no computers) to make a print that should be impossible. The final prints were unrecognizable from the initial subject matter. It was pretty amazing the amount of manipulation possible during development.
Several pieces of terminology still used in digital image manipulation today have names that are hangovers from the analog film era. The entire notion of “digital negatives,” i.e. Adobe’s DNG format is one of them. Also the doge and burn tools in your photo editing software, as I’m sure you know.
