It has been structured in seven sections, though differentiated, among them a great cohesion. The first consists of a set of notes biográficos.A then is the origin and content of Comas Fund, which consists mostly of material fotografíco. In the third and fourth paragraph there is an approximation to work fotografíca Dr. Comas, both documentary photography as Samar. Due to the importance and the variety of color photographic processes used by Comas, in the fifth paragraph shows images made with different procedures, as well com fragments amplified from the grids that shape it. Because it was Comas photographer radiologist before we left for the sixth development for the Radiology, which had been his profession for more than 50 years, which he took up intructor of X-rays in Spain, and by that murió.El paragraph shorter and the latter is referred to received little recognition for their work and medical mention of official neglect toward him.

Summary: HANDLING THE PICTURE IN THE DIGITAL AGE. This research deals with the increase of photographic manipulation in the digital age, not to mention those existing at the time enalógica.Para so we resorted to direct observation of many examples as well as different methodological techniques for analyzing images created by the Ph.D. . 1. Type of manipulation as the possible effect resulted in the recipients. 2. Type of manipulation as the motivations of the issuer. 3. Depending on the type of manipulation technique used. The thesis consists of a central block of six chapters, in addition to the advance copies, the final conclusions and block library. Among others, we have reached the following conclusions: 1. The manipulation has been around since the birth of photography, but, as planteábamos on the assumption, new technologies facilitate mounts and trucajes in this field. 2. With the introduction of digital photography in journalism and social photography is losing its main characteristic of the faithful witness realidad.La demise of the cliche makes it impossible to compare the original image with manipulated.

Summary: This paper seeks to demonstrate as an analog system, based on photochemical processes at the beginning of last century, we can move to digital color. Ansel Adams, father of the zone system, devised a scientific method to control the revealed, in addition to a philosophy of work based on the display. The system is intended to make an image on a piece of paper resembling as much as possible to reality. It seeks to control highlights and shadows revealed by the negative and positivado. Visualization first link in the chain was a way to work easily transferred to the digital world. The digital system has changed the silver halides by the pixels and chemistry in mathematics. With a mathematical process is easier to control parameters such as color, but can also move the results obtained by the physicochemical processes, improve them and saving time and money.

Summary: This paper "From Pictorialismo the Modern Photography. Repre-sentación of peasants in the Spanish photography in the twenties and thirties," proposes a comprehensive analysis of the history of photography between the years 1920 and 1930 with emphasis on the Spanish case . This study covers three specific periods of the history of photography ranging from artistic photography, where for the first time the photographic image is no longer just a product of the technique and becomes part of the art, until modern photography where the photographer apro - vecha the innate qualities of the photographic medium (such as fixing the reality and its ability to be produced many times) for the functionality and objectivity. Among both conceptions, the look of the photographer is still reflect their everyday environment with particular attention to the farmer, their environment, their way of life and their clothes. As a starting point for this work takes artistic photography because it is from this point when what matters is the ability of the photographer to approach, choosing light, framing, perspective and way of interpreting reality. This leads us to say that for the first time since then, the photographer gives importance to a number of elements that enhance the expressive side and plastic on the photographic image. Based on these characteristics there is a certain type of photography ranging from the purely artistic to have fallen into the tea-tralización and recreation of scenes aesthetically beautiful, and the ethnographic documentary that seeks objectivity in function and classify and categorize what will disappear upon arrival modernity to lead to a new photography, practical and useful that can be fragmented, expanded, cut and sometimes mixed with drawing and typography more mo-derna in order to be incorporated into the press , propaganda or design. These three photographic styles coexist in parallel during the twenties and thirties lead to a certain kind of photograph that will depend on how the photographer looks and interprets reality. As juncture of the three, the theme will focus on the customs and the peasant. In this work he accompanies a photo gallery that help to clarify the involvement of the photographer with the times and with the photographic medium itself. Through his eyes, the photographer shows various representations of peasants from the more bucolic and poetic, inspired by the pictorial compositions, even the most moderate and functional in that it is not necessary fotografíar the farmer to talk him through another photograph that shows the traditional farmer in his everyday environment.
