Photoshop is not just about pushing buttons

Photoshop is for the lazy people. All they have to do is open a control and all sorts dials, check boxes and sliders are there in front of them and ready to be used. Get the tool palettes, command bar and menu and you have got yourself an art technique that experts took years to master. And to think, you just did it in a matter of seconds too.

Limiting yourself to the just pushing buttons is missing an opportunity to make better digital photos. It would have taken many training years to understand the techniques that photographers do in their darkrooms that is equivalent to the capabilities of Photoshop. That is what these innovations are here for. To make things easier for those who do not want many years and skills to get the photos they want. Just knowing what their camera can do is enough to get them through buttons and clicks.

Makes one wonder how unfair it would be for those who took their time learning their craft. If they would have Photoshop would come into existence then they would have just sat down and waited. Makes you also wonder why they are not ranting and raving about these things when distinguishing the true works of art is very difficult. One can never tell if its Photoshop or years of hard work.
