In the 1960's, as more people came to own cameras and photographs became more commonplace, it became possible to process photographs automatically.

In the 1980's one hour photo processing became the norm, and the photographic market grew in leaps and bounds. The 1990's ushered in the digital age. People were given many new ways to enjoy photographs. In 2000, a photograph has become something that people not only take and look at, but also something that they modify creatively.
