| Abstract | ||||
| Since its emergence more than thirty years ago, digital photography has undergone rapid transformations and developments. Digital technology has produced generations of personal computers, which turned all forms of technology into a digital one. Photography received a large share in this development in the making of cameras, sensitive surfaces, image storage, image transfer, and image quality and clarity. This technology also allowed the photographer to record all his visuals with a high efficiency that keeps abreast of the age’s requirements and methods of communication. The final form of digital technology was not reached all of a sudden; this development – in spite of its fast pace – has been subject to many pillars, all of which have contributed to reaching the modern traditional digital shape of the camera and granted the photographer capabilities he can use to produce images that fulfill their task. Reaching this end before digital technology was quite difficult and required several procedures to process sensitive film and paper material and many chemical processes. Nowadays, this process is done by pushing a few buttons. This research sheds light on these main foundations for the stages of digital development according to their chronological order, along with presenting scientists or production companies that have their own research laboratories which develop and enhance their products | ||||
