Dream On… Photoshop

Someone at Adobe has put together a slick YouTube video to celebrate 25 years of Photoshop

YES that’s right Photoshop is 25 years old this month! It is both seen as the gold standard of photo manipulation and the very essence or trickery and the fake (“its been photoshopped!”). This video probably won’t change that notion, The reality as I see it (noting I don’t have photoshop) is it has a long learning curve, that’s why there’s a whole aftermarket of many expensive courses and thick book to learn it Experienced users can certainly do magical things, but that might take some time and skill. Finally photoshop is now only available via a subscription, you can’t buy it and own it you just rent it

Perhaps I’m not as optimistic for its next 25 years as Adobes seems …Dream On
