A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

How were professional photos edited in the 70s-80s (alien.top)

was looking at some old photos of Kate bush, Stevie Nicks, and some other celebrities photoshoots from that time period and admiring the glowy affect or the purple and red colour palette on the photos wondering how I can achieve that same effect and then I realized that they did not have online editing software or even internet but the photos still look very nice and not like raw images I usually see. This may be a dumb question, I am not a photographer and do not know much about all this stuff but I am just curious.

Bit of a tangent,

One of my pet peeves is people acting like what a camera spits out or what CVS gives back to you is the "real" picture and anything else is fake.

Especially when they ask why their film isn't looking like others like the makeup of the film is the magic and not the mastery of the entire process of making an image.
