    Thank you so much for this content. My mom was a retoucher, mostly portraits. This is the first mention of it I have ever seen on the web. And there were more tools than pencils. They also used edged tools to scrape away unwanted parts of the image, and solvent ("dope") to soften sharp lines. This is part of why it cost so much in the old days to have pictures taken at a studio by a pro.

Some jobs are easier to do the old way and it's harder to detect the negative method. You can also try the old way of you only have Photoshop or an equivalent by turning a photo negative or using a negative filter and using the same technique I believe there's also a way to use the color picker to pick the opposite color instead of the same color but I can't recall how to do it.

      And not everyone is a child of God jesus said it himself youre of your father the devil and your desires are to do his will true children of God are the ones who have been born again spiritually and repented from sin❤
      So many people say they love God, but most of them never repented from sin and have a personal relationship with him, and love isnt just a feeling love is doing❤
      Familiar spirits are demons
      well if I'm wrong I wasted nothing because I got peace and joy from him, but if you're wrong you wasted your entire life!! ❤️🎉 And demons love when people believe that lie that God doesn't exist and they love it when people don't know they are there ❤I copy n paste this everywhere❤
      And no one talks about repentance, God will never lower his standards to be okay with your sins, sins is very serious in the eyes of God hes holy and righteous and it seperates us from him❤
      Demons exist, and the devil comes to steal kill and destroy and uses people to do so❤
      Btw telling the demon to stay doesnt do anything unless you have the holy spirit you arent safe.
      People: okay please stay this is your place❤
      Demon: okay
      People: **leaves**
      Demon: **Goes with them anyway**
      Demons arent gonna make it obvious they are there so yeah.
      Demons are fallen angels that uses the form of our passed away loved ones to make us believe ghost exist and the souls of the person we knew still remains here❤❤
      Astrology is demonic before my relationship with God I would always do zodiac signs literally just a bunch of sins put into each one I bet if everyone was sinless zodiac signs wouldn't make sense and literally a cover up for demons❤
      Hearts are deceitful above all things, listen to God❤
      Depression can be a demon you may need deliverance❤
      God said unless you're born again spiritually u will not enter the kingdom of heaven also God doesn't judge us by our good works he's judging us by our sins Gods standards are so high he's that HOLY saying oh my God is using Gods name in vain it's called blasphemy ❤
      To get to heaven you must believe with all your heart that Jesus died and rose again paid full price for your sins repent and receive his Holy spirit.

      Don't waste time Hearts are deceitful above all things ask God for wisdom and understanding we are just tiny humans with a 3 pound brain and our imaginations cannot go beyond what we already know❤

      ​@@sspotter1978 I work in cinematography on major motion pictures and network television - I'm a camera assistant. So I'm the technician who configures whatever lenses, filters etc my camera operator is calling for on a given shot. I'm also the person who calls the scene and take number and claps the slate. I can tell you that we do in fact use Vaseline at times. However, Vaseline is so heavy, I've personally only seen it used in scenes that were deliberately portraying something dream-like, because the end result will look heavy-handed.
      However, in our set of filters, we always have a couple of filters labeled specifically for our lead actresses. So you guys are correct on the concept. The female performers are more heavily filtered than the male performers. This becomes even more pronounced the older the actress is. The director of photography really wants to blur lines and wrinkles.
      What some DPs use for actresses is actually not cheesecloth, it's varying guages of nylons stretched across a frame and we call them "nets."
      P.s. I happen to be a woman myself, so it's not lost on me the differences between how we photograph women and men. But many actresses will insist on being heavily filtered or shot from particular angles. Just demonstrates how much pressure they know they are under to maintain an illusion of perfection.

  • @eykyra
    @eykyra 7 місяців тому +294

    Also I heard that some actresses used filters like thin transparent fabrics on top of lenses to gave them a "blurred" effect that would erase imperfections and also make the skin appear more shiny, so basically analogic facetuning/filters. It's said that Spanish actress Sara Montiel asked for the cameras to be covered with a piece of thin stocking.

    Going even FURTHER back, painting portraits of people more flattering than they looked was also EXPECTED. I mean, getting your portrait done is expensive, and you may only have it done ONCE in your WHOLE LIFE, ONE picture to show your ancestors what you looked like. It was a given that if you had a rough night's sleep, they probably wouldn't paint in your dark circles, or your acne, or scarring, or stray hairs. And if you were painting someone wealthy, your reputation to draw them beautiful might be on the line.

    Also, plastic surgery was VERY common in old Hollywood. Not to mention wigs for men AND woman, only being photographed from certain angles and under specific lighting, heavy makeup, custom costumes, shapewear (for men AND woman, again), and other treatments like skin bleaching, plucking hairlines, and many, many others. Rita Hayworth (born Margarita Cansino) was forced to change her appearance. She was of Roma and Irish American descent (her father was Spanish Roma). She was always utterly stunning and you can look up pictures of her before her “Hollywood makeover”. However, some of her features were deemed too “ethnic”. She went through painful electrolysis to heighten her hairline and her dark hair was dyed light red. Because of her Irish heritage, her skin was deemed “light enough” to not “need” skin bleaching. Luckily, she was able to bring her father’s heritage into her dancing. Marilyn Monroe had at least one nose job (likely two), a chin implant later in her career, had her hairline plucked, her naturally very curly, chestnut hair bleached and styled, and, of course, used very specific makeup techniques to create different illusions. She also practiced every movement, gesture, and facial expression over and over until she felt satisfied. All of this AND photo editing. None of this stuff is new. There has never been “good old days of natural beauty”. People have been changing their appearances to follow beauty standards since the beginning of time. Paintings were even painted in very specific styles and according to what the client/patron wanted (unless the painter was painting lower class slice of life stuff, but even then, they’d take creative liberties). History constantly repeats itself.

      To clarify, Rita Hayworth had to change her look because of her being of *Roma* descent. Spanish Roma, yes, but to just say Spanish here is very misleading. Also, “Hispanic” features don’t exist, because Hispanic isn’t a race, but in an English speaking context, people usually use that to mean “mestizo”, like, say, the average Mexican-American, which means a mix of white and Native American. (For those who don’t know, the Roma are of Indic origin, on the European continent, so entirely unrelated)

    Same with pitch correction in music, people think it's only been around since autotune, but producers would often slightly speed up or slow down certain little parts of a song if it was slightly out of key.

      Brother, those two things are nothing a like. Even though tracks were sped up or slowed down, there’s no touch ups. It’s more of an artistic approach/recording to tape back in the day would fuck the pitch and speed of the songs up, so it was done to makes the songs sound like how it was suppose to. the artist still had to play with perfect pitch and play on beat. What we see now doesn’t require any of that. Someone can be off beat and be a shit musician since the studio can fix literally everything

As a photographer I find it hilarious the way people talk about our modern obsessions with photo editing as if it's brand new, there are Victorian books on how to edit photos because they were hella vain! When photography was invented the painting community tried to discredit it by saying it was "falsified" and "poor representations of reality" when painting is literally made up stuff, with the portraits sometimes very different to the actual sitter (especially in pre-wedding portraits sent to the fiancé's) so, Catfishing has also been around for centuries! 😂

    So glad someone made a video about this. I studied film and another thing too is that the legitimate film was literally cut and placed to make movies. Hence why it's called cutting when editing. They also used coloured pencils to colour in the strips of film before showing it. Which is why you can find some film that is not entirely black and white, but only the important things are coloured.

      And no one talks about repentance, God will never lower his standards to be okay with your sins, sins is very serious in the eyes of God hes holy and righteous and it seperates us from him❤
      Demons exist, and the devil comes to steal kill and destroy and uses people to do so❤
      Btw telling the demon to stay doesnt do anything unless you have the holy spirit you arent safe.

      Demon: okay
      People: **leaves**
      Demon: **Goes with them anyway**

      Demons are fallen angels that uses the form of our passed away loved ones to make us believe ghost exist and the souls of the person we knew still remains here❤❤
      Astrology is demonic before my relationship with God I would always do zodiac signs literally just a bunch of sins put into each one I bet if everyone was sinless zodiac signs wouldn't make sense and literally a cover up for demons❤
      Hearts are deceitful above all things, listen to God❤
      Depression can be a demon you may need deliverance❤
      God said unless you're born again spiritually u will not enter the kingdom of heaven also God doesn't judge us by our good works he's judging us by our sins Gods standards are so high he's that HOLY saying oh my God is using Gods name in vain it's called blasphemy ❤

    The difference is now literally every human with internet access had the ability to use Photoshop, while back then, you were lucky if you had a camera, let alone a guy who knew how to properly retouch those pictures during the 100% manual developing and processing phase. Photoshop back then was a god damned career.

      It's not about the people that retouche though. The remarks are basically, ya'll just ugly today and need photoshop, women back then were naturally beautiful (I exagerrated, but you get the idea). And she showed, nope, they had the same "flaws" and were also retouched.
      Men in general often have no clue what they talk about. A male friend back in the day when Michelle Pfeiffer was at her peak showed at one of her posters he hung up and said that he has a crush on her because she doesn't need make up, she's naturally beautiful. Us girls just looked at each other, burst out laughing and then explained natural make up to him pointing at all the clues.

    what definitely has changed is the ease of and actual access to editing. Many if not most phone cameras do it automatically, even for amateurs doing selfies or event/family snaps ( amateurs=people who don't earn their living from how they appear to look on photos). Meanwhile if the same "amateurs" took those kinds of pictures in the 80's or 90's basically 0% would have been edited let alone to the the detail that todays automatic processing can. Kinda apples and oranges here, so it's a scewed analogy. Like saying "In the 40's there were already cars with power windows, just like today, nothing has changed really" whilst ignoring that having a technology and the same being so affordable that it is now hard to find one without it is a big difference. To me what's more important than wether it exists or not, is who can and does use it and to what end.
    In the end yeah, it's interesting, but I think what many people are expressing when they complain about "too much editing" is the fact that now that basically everybody has the means to edit, no longer is it the rich elites of hollywood and glam magazines that build false expectations of how people (especially women) should look, but now it's pretty much everybody that does it to themselves/each other. It's self destructive either way, but sadly our brains are just wired to make us want to conform to beauty standarts no matter how unattainable or irrational they might be.

      your point is valid, but hers is valid, too - women and girls compare themselves to the beauty relative perfection of these edited images, and not with reality. You mention the 80s and 90s as if the photoshopped celebs didn't give girls eating disorders lol. Ease of access today AND the fact that we are consuming So Many More Images does make this effect more surround-sound, but her point is that unrealistic perfection (that women are led to believe is just natural beauty, and therefore try to achieve in the mirror) has been around as long as images have. Whether it's on instagram or on the big screen, women are comparing themselves to these photoshopped images, not to the normal person standing next to them in line at the grocery store. It's not apples and oranges, it's a matter of degree - but you're right that the issue has gotten way more severe as the tech is now available to essentially everyone on earth.
