Soviet Image Editing Tool From 1987
"Three years before Photoshop 1.0 was released, computer
engineers in the USSR were already retouching photographs using some
surprisingly advanced technology. A video shows how the Soviets went about
restoring damaged images with the help of rotary scanners, magnetic tape, and
trackballs. No word on whether this technology was used to fake moon landings or
put missiles in Cuba." Photo manipulation in the USSR (and elsewhere) had a
pretty good jump on computers, though.
