Call me old school. But I have always believed that a photograph should be conceived through the lens and not in image-editing software.
I just downloaded a Beta version of Adobe Photoshop CS6 to see what I have been missing over all of the years. Photography professionals swear by Photoshop and it has become the standard image editor for the industry.
It sure seems to have a lot of bells and whistles, and does a lot of things that I don’t understand.
Because I still think of a photograph as an instant of time captured in the moment and not as a future project for experimentation.
And while it is true that my trusty old D80 uses complex algorithms to generate my image file, I still shoot in manual mode with quality lenses and filters.
My guess is that I won’t be purchasing a license for the product once my trial period is over.
But you never know. If I play with it enough I just might learn to love it!
BTW These photos are from my archives and were NOT edited in my Beta version of PhotoShop!
