Please tell us about yourself, your childhood inspiration and how did you first get into the world of digital arts?
Ever since I was a small boy I wanted to become an artist. Making pictures fascinated me. I later trained and became a professional artist (see my website at janesmann.com). I worked part time in the DTP business with Photoshop/QuarkXPress lay-outing a magazine and also with Pagemaker for a publisher. But my main program is of course Photoshop. I began with Photoshop 4 because I needed to edit scans of my paintings for printing invitations and other PR material. I made this material my self in Photoshop.
Do you exclusively use Photoshop for your work? Tell us your experience about Photoshop. What are the most appealing features you found in Photoshop?
Later when I set up a website, I needed to edit pictures of my paintings and I soon discovered that Photoshop could not do, what I wanted to do in order to make the screen images look like the real paintings. This began almost ten years ago now and after some years of continual frustration, I began dreaming of writing plugins to do the jobs. Alternatively I could have dreamt of a whole new graphic application, but with Photoshop advanced layer editing options and the fact that virtually any professional uses Photoshop, I decided to write additions to Photoshop. www.insidegraphics.com/2020/04/16/jan-esmann/
