Adobe Photoshop:
...it's the greatest program ever. If it seems too good to be true, it was probably done in Photoshop®, the professional image-editing standard for designers around the world. Smiles are a little brighter; clothes, a little cleaner. For those of us who have been making a living with Photoshop since Adobe's first release, vacation is simply another way of saying you're going 'cold turkey.' Unless you pack the Powerbook.
Recently a client signed an endorsement deal with a major NBA star but didn't have the budget or the opportunity for a studio photo session. There were plenty of photos and with Photoshop, anything is possible. CLICK HERE to review this case study.
Programs like Photoshop do make it possible to do the impossible. And do it well. It seems everyone is using this program for web pages, magazine ads, logo enhancement or animation. Photoshop is a great tool. There are others that do a good job, too. Just remember to respect the power you're given. Wear your safety glasses. And don't hurt yourself [or your design] with it. Sometimes less is more.
"In all large corporations, there is a pervasive fear that someone, somewhere is having fun with a computer on company time. Networks help alleviate that fear."
