Initially, photographers used hand-coloring techniques. Autochromes arrived in the early 20th century, and it was the first generally practical color photographic process. They were good as compare to hand-coloring; however, the process was difficult and expensive. The modern era of color photography began in 1935, when Kodak employees, Leopold Godowsky Jr. and Leopold Mannes invented Kodachrome.
