Soviet Image Editing Tool From 1987

nacturation writes "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.

"http://anime720.com/" appears to be a bungled/bad site. Follow at own risk.
Won't let you see Much but main page if ad-block is on. acts suspicious with a modal dialog or click through you can't get rid off otherwise. Might just be bad site design, or might be worse.
    It LOOKS like they're just trying to get add revenue for listing links to other peoples stuff, but it just sets off alarm bells when a site throws up a dialog box you can only turn off by clicking ONE of the two buttons. ANYTHING else just pops the box back up and you can't do ANYTHING else, even click on another tab in firefox untill you click the correct button. Just screams mall-ware to me, though I didn't bother trying to find out for certain.
