We present photometric evolution Models of galaxies. in which. in addition to the stellar component., the effects of all evolving dusty interstellar medium have been included With particular care. Starting from the work of Calura et al., in which chemical evolution models have been used to study the evolution of both the gas and dust components of the interstellar medium in the solar neighbourhood, elliptical and irregular galaxies, it has, been possible to combine these models with a spectrophotometric stellar code that includes dust reprocessing, (GRASIL) to analyse the evolution of the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of these galaxies. We test our models against observed SEDs both in the local universe and at high redshift, and use them to predict how the percentage of reprocessed starlight evolves for each type of galaxy. The importance of following the dust evolution is investigated by comparing our results with those obtained by adopting simple assumptions to treat this component.
