Big Question of the Week
As it’s the 20th anniversary of Photoshop, I’m wondering:
Is photography better off for its creation?
I know it’s made a lot of things more convenient, easier, faster. But has it actually fostered creativity? Moved the medium forward?
I ask sincerely, not as a way of denigrating the program, but because I’m really not sure. The fact that it exists has made things easier for me, definitely. Even though I don’t use that particular program, I use programs related to it (iPhoto) for management, adjustments. I’ve been wondering this for a few days, now. Figure this is the best way to put the thought to rest.
Is it a necessary thing, hand in hand with digital photography in general?
Has it made photos better? More importantly (for me): Has it made photographers better?
