How we see pictures today is a little different from how the previous generations saw them. Unlike many millennials who believe in keeping their followers and Facebook friends updated by posting pictures regularly, our previous generations saw photos as memories, the best way to capture an important event.
Also, don’t forget how the technology advancements have changed how images looked, how people saved them and how people saw them in different eras.
You must be wondering where are we going with this? Well, we will walk you down the memory lane of different people who had the pictures of their family members from previous generations. However, with time these pictures lost color or we can say faded with time. But then photoshop came in the ‘picture’ and we are going to share the magic that happened.
Check these 15 best-retouched pictures and you might thank us for learning the possibilities of what all can happen to any such gems that you have.
