See the history of image manipulation in Faking It: Manipulated Photography before Photoshop, an Amazon Editor's Pick for this holiday. This captivating book reveals that almost every type of manipulation we associate
with Adobe’s now-ubiquitous Photoshop software was also part of
photography’s pre-digital repertoire, from slimming waistlines and
smoothing away wrinkles to adding or removing people in images, not to mention fabricating events that never took place. Among the techniques discussed–and beautifully illustrated
with works from an international array of
collections—are multiple exposure, combination printing, photomontage,
composite portraiture, over-painting, hand coloring, and retouching. Save 37%, enjoy free shipping with gift wrapping available!

Molly Spilane's Etsy shop, Unique Art Pendants features this bright, festive, vintage style cuff. Using a retro Polaroid camera image that is "slightly see-through to show the brass patina and wear pattern
underneath", Molly finishes the piece with a special metal sealer
that makes the image scratch proof. The ends are double reinforced with high quality jewelers film, and the metal's texture makes these
bracelets sparkle and shine - perfect for the holiday season.
