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