44. Before Photoshop, People Still Played with Photos

Photoshop has been around only since the 1990s. However, calotype — which allows you to develop multiple photos from negatives — has been around for longer. Ever since calotype first came out, people have been messing around with images, evidenced by an enormous baby gazing down lovingly at a mother in a baby carriage.
