Photoshop Is Not For You

by Marc in Software

Feb 28

I don’t understand why Adobe Photoshop is so popular among people who have no idea how to use it. It’s a great piece of software and the interface is very comfortable, yes, but it’s simply overkill for simple image manipulation.

If all you want to do it cut an object from a solid background and insert it into another picture, firing up Photoshop for the task is ridiculous. You can accomplish it just as easily with Paint.NET (1.6 MB) or any other similar tool.

Another extremely annoying thing is people referring to it as Adobe. You can correct your classmates but what the hell can you do when your lecturer does the same thing!

Bart, GIMP is equally complicated.

Hari, you only feel it is simple since you don’t know the things it can do.

Indeed GIMP is also overpowered for most simple tasks, thank god for imagemagick and all those people who wrote scripts for it that allow you to go right-click, resize/rotate/scale on hundreds of images.

Bart, of course it is complicated. A simple image editing tool would be the infamous MS Paint.

- Anne : Sorry. Could not get here on time. Mail? Can I use the one in 'contact me'?
- Marc Z : Perhaps you could email me instead. The shoutbox is hardly a medium for this.
- Anne : Got time for internet just now. Wait for my counter argument tomorrow.
- Marc Z : Corruption, discrimination and violence are not stray incidents here. They happen every single day on a large scale.
- Marc Z : In India, people don't even admit that there is a major problem. You are expected to adjust and grit you teeth and bear it. Even worse, many people are indifferent/sati sfied with the current situation. Now do you see this in other countries?
- Marc Z : The difference is that India claims to be a 'developing country' and an 'upcoming super power'. Completely untrue.
- Anne : Cmon Marc! Show me a country where there is no corruption or discrimination or violence! Then I'll name it heaven!
- Anne : I agree! It cannot be implemented even if you are n politics or very rich! But why do you always consider India as a whole or these terrible politicians or these bribe taking officials! Its everywhere in the world, except maybe in the Amazon forests! It is very well known that you as well as me can do something without involving any useless bigwigs!
- Marc Z : Anne, the worst part of living in this country is knowing that you cannot do anything to change it. Whatever ideas or solutions people might have can never be implemented unless you are in politics or very very rich. It's a completely different set of rules here. This is the sort of place you get beaten up by thugs for doing good things.
- Praveen : Why no posts of late da? Become quite busy, eh?
- Anne : Ok. I guess you don't intend to answer that! Anyway, I'm not one of those maniacs who support govt blindly! Neither do I agree with he idea of always complaining rather than doing something which you really can. You can do lots, just understood your ampli5 business. Well, goodbye then.
- Anne : I meant your complaints against India! Tell me how you have used your ideas to do something around!
- Marc Z : Welcome to India!
- Anne : I tried counting the number of complaints in your blog! Then realized its impossible and gave up!
