Hi All!

I always think of Adobe Photoshop being a great building tha accommodated most of the knowledge of modern image processing concepts This is the bright side of the notion. What if we looked at the murk side of the Photoshop’s evolving process? What if Photoshop core wa built without taking into consideration the vast phenomenal resource growth? I mean what if early Photoshop authors couldn’t imagine in 80′ what the computer resources will be in the years to come? I think tha the old style of programming should have some remains here and ther despite the fact that Photoshop should have been re-written! Now, wit all ideas added by Photoshop to the world of image processing, and al new computer resources, and the large number of qualified programmer around the world, the way is paved for new image-processing software t emerge and beat Photoshop. I wonder if friends here accept to conver to new software given that it is more powerful than Photoshop? Are w really prepared to change image processing Photoshop-oriented cultur and accept to work in some competitive software other than Photoshop Did the Adobe folks succeed in creating the Photoshop Inevitabilit Concept in designer’s minds? Is it really possible to create softwar that is more powerful than Photoshop? Is it true that accumulativ experience of writing Photoshop is inevitable to write competitiv software? Is it possible for Photoshop to become the only revenue generating software for a single company? In other words, would it b possible for Adobe to live only on Photoshop? Alternatively, woul Photoshop continue without other Adobe’s products that support it?

Dunno what you want to do with Photoshop. If there is one can do similar to Photoshop but better then I think Photoshop would be in danger, if not then it has no enemy to spill blood so it has no danger.

even though there are many great programmers out there, i still doubt the possibility of photoshop becoming obsolete…there’s a reason photoshop has been around for so long, and it’s because it’s the best at what it’s made to do…there are a number of other programs out there that are great tools, and some may even consider them a favorite over our beloved photoshop. but adobe definately has control over the market, and because theyve been doing it for so long, it would be very hard for some new programmers to enter the market and outdo the industry leader, they simply lack the experience and adobe is such a trusted name that itd be pretty hard for them even to thrive. so is photoshop in danger? i think not. even if some program came out that was years ahead of photoshop, i think adobe would still hold a large piece of the market.

I get the point and the answer is that if someone comes up with a program that does everything Photoshop does and it’s either better, cheaper, or both, then of course people would buy it in preference. The only problem with that is the amount of resources you would need to develop such a competitor in terms of programming time, costs etc.
