You seem to be fully devoted to Photoshop. What attracted you the most when you opened the Photoshop for the first time?
I think it was the ability to do realistic drop shadows that first got my attention. What a surprise when I found i could do way more.
You have worked with so many versions of Photoshop. What do you think of the gradual progress of the software?
I started on vs 2.5. 3.0 was a Godsend with the ability to add layers. Then in 4-5 there was a lot of emphasis on making things editable and easier to add effects. 5.5 - Was all about the web. 6.0 was a major upgrade, taking web and type to the next level. The big thing on 7.0 was OSX and XP native support. 7 has some really sweet productivity tools and is excellent for the digital photographer with things like the file browser, healing brush etc. Where will it go from here? Hmm my guess is perhaps digital video and closer integration with after effects. I would really like to see Imageready integrated into Photoshop.
As a professional, what feature of the Photoshop you think unbeatable?
The biggest thing Photoshop has over the competition is excellent stability, flexibility and a huge feature-set. Also the fact that it is industry standard is very important, this way it ensures that there will always be an excellent support base around the product.
