Photoshop is not used primarily for editing photos in the software industry from my experience. In a world with responsive design needs vector based just gives you more versions of assets at different resolutions for less effort than any other approach.
Sure photo editing is one use for it. But much of it is in creating icons, mockups, non photo realistic things, and more.
- nkozyra 12y agoHow Photoshop is used doesn't really matter - it's intended as a photo editing product. Adobe already has an illustration / vector product and there's a reason they're separate.
- ThomPete 12y agoHow it's intended is most certainly what doesn't matter given how many people use it for other things than photo-editing.
- nkozyra 12y agoFirst, I'd say "most people" is anecdotal and supposition. Second, even if "most people" used Microsoft Word to build web pages I wouldn't treat it like a web IDE.
- ThomPete 12y agoWhich is why I never said it was that categorically so why the strawman? But you know being a designer having worked with designers, having had a large design agency and done some work for Adobe I do consider myself fairly informed on the matter. Whether you wanted to consider it a web IDE is besides the point. I remember the days when notepad was considered the gold standard. If it helps you get the work done who care about what it was supposed to help them with.
- orbifold 12y agoI think you possibly have a limited perspective on what people are using photoshop, I'm pretty sure every professional photographer uses it in some way or another, for instance as are print designers.
- ThomPete 12y ago?? I am saying it's being used for other things than photo-editing how is that a limited perspective?
