I shade, burn, dodge and spot by hand, if I have to. I use Photoshop sometimes to do some slight adjustments, like burning and dodging using adjustment layer masks, but mostly all I do is spot (remove dirt and blemishes ), crop to the right shape, resize, and add my © notice in exactly the right font and shading as I demand. I use Photoshop because it's the best tool on Earth for doing what I do with images. Like most people, I work in Photoshop all day and night, but use less than 1% of what's in it.
Once the shutter closes, they are 99% done. It's also for creative graphic artists, who create images for the very first time inside of Photoshop. Photoshop is for the precise optimization and tweaking of images. (The other hours are spent in Dreamweaver, but Dreamweaver CS4 is so buggy that I use Dreamweaver CS2 instead.) It's so bad that I've even had dreams where my entire perception of life is nothing more than mousing around in Photoshop, which sadly, is pretty much how my day-to-day life goes. What I will do is give you my opinions of how well this latest CS4 version of Photoshop works for me and what I do, and most importantly, why it's worth upgrading to it when you can do the same things on any other version of Photoshop. Therefore I don't dare call this a review of Photoshop. Now, with way over 20 years of continuous development inside it by hundreds of people, Photoshop is such a broad and deep tool for so many completely different people and applications, no one man is worthy of writing what I'd call a review. With Photoshop, the best I can hope to do is to learn how to do what I need it to do, and ignore the rest. While I confidently churn out reviews on even the most complex digital and film cameras, even the most complex digital camera is trivial compared to the awesome and innumerable powers of Photoshop.Įven back in the 1990s with Photoshop 4, it could do far more than I could ever master in my lifetime. I've been working in digital imaging full-time for a living since the 1980s, long before Photoshop was ever released, but I'll admit that I'm humbled by Photoshop. I've been shooting for more than 40 years, so I have this down. Give me one for a few hours to shoot in various conditions, and I can spit out a review that is meaningful to most kinds of photographers for use under most likely conditions.
