Foto atau gambar lama semangnya dirakam dalam imej warna hitam dan putih sahaja sebelum industri ini berkembang sehingga hari ini. Kalau buka album lama nenek atau ibu bapa anda yang lahir sebelum zaman merdeka pasti boleh lihat foto-foto hanya hitam dan putih.
Kadangkala rasa bosan seperti tiada tarikan kerana tidak sebarang warna kan? Sama juga seperti di dalam buku teks atau muzium, gambar-gambar tokoh atau kisah sejahtera rata-rata kekal hitam dan putih. Namun, pada zaman teknologi sekarang ini, gambar-gambar hitam putih boleh ditukarkan dalam imej berwarna. Teruja sekejap apabila melihat gambar-gambar lama tersebut kelihatan hidup.
