INTRODUCTION Photography is the art, science and practice of creating durable images by capturing light or other electromagnetic radiation, either electronically by means of an image sensor or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film. Photography is of different types, but our basic point is the application of computers in photography, which we might as well refer to as digital photography. It is necessary to be aware of what a computer is and its terms before the actual analysis of its impact in photography. The primary objective of this presentation is to show how computers aid individuals in photography. About a few decades ago, most of the operations pertinent to photography were done manually, without the use of computers, and these operations employed more personnel and took more period of time, before an actual photograph is produced, these operations includes film development which is the chemical means which photographic film and paper is treated after photographic exposure to produce a negative or positive image, photographic processing transforms the latent image into a visible image and makes it insensitive to light. Other operations include printing, scanning, publishing etc. Nowadays, the
