Photoshop has completely revolutionized our visual culture. Artists now use Photoshop to create complex imagery that would have been impossible 20 years ago. It has also profoundly changed the art of photo retouching, turning a labor intensive process into an artful and often controversial digital workflow. But possibly the most current and expressive influence can be seen in meme culture online. With the ability to alter any image in the media landscape, everyday people now have the means to critically comment on culture and spread their ideas
virally, leveling the playing field between traditional media creators and consumers. Photoshop has changed the way we communicate, the way we express ourselves, and the way we view the world and each other.

Awesome job - it really speaks volumes of our ever-changing society!
I have really been enjoying OffBook! So glad I subscribed :)
As popular and powerful as it is, interesting that they went with a specific name brand instead of photo editing in general. Great piece though!
Very very inspiring movie. Thank you very much for sharing/creating. I've been liking photoshop for a very long time. Often had comments my creations are just photo shopped... It's not the tools, but the work you create to send your message.
Just be honest about it. :)
Another quality broadcast guys :)
A critique: the music choices are always great, but the end theme is grating. I look forward to more OffBook. Thanks!
I think that would be akin to us looking at Renaissance art pieces and thinking that the perfectly portrayed humans were 100% representations of real people.
Did I just voluntarily watch an ad for photoshop?
Oh, Lyra, it's nice to see you there.
very nice.
I like how there was Lyra.
I can use gimp to copy and paste and a few other things. RUclips taught me. It's fun to do. Some people take it to a whole new level though.
Last I tried it out (which I admit is over a year or two ago), it just didn't have enough of the features I often use in photoshop.
love this channel
Thanks very much. I subscribed to Adobe Creative Cloud and want to learn to use Photoshop, InDesign, and Premiere Pro. But, how can I learn if I don't have a specific project to work on. Where can I start?
We love PBS Off Book!
Had to share this post on our page!

Not one mention of GIMP? Or Inkscape?
Just because it takes a lot less time to master something like photoshop than it does to master something like painting doesn't mean that the art produced from one is superior to the other. Good art is mostly determined by someone's perception of it, both aesthetically and metaphorically, not by the amount of time it took the artist to master their craft. Also, have you never thought that maybe it's not such a bad thing for people to be able to produce cool art more quickly?
I need a tutorial for 0:42 :D
Wasn't that an example of a photoshop distaster? Because yes, I agree with ya.
"10 or 15 years ago I couldn't create pictures like I do today" Hmm is that a declaration of his evolution of skill or Photoshop? I mean Photoshop came out in 1989, although in a less feature packed form.
Great video- but I can't show it to my students because of the nudity in the last clip
We also found drawings from cavemen, but we also don't think they actually looked like stickmen, right? :-)
Liked for Lyra.
pause 5:06 xD
that is half of Photoshop's lifetime. It has advanced quite a bit in that time. And of course, so does one's skill.
Do I have artistic abilities?
MVHH
what the heck was that last picture
Photoshop had paths in 1991, layers in 1994, and vector shapes in 2000. Not only could he have created those images (with a bit more work) 10-15 years ago, people were creating amazing scifi and fantasy images like that back then. To say that is an insult to their work.
It definitely doesn't do the work for you. The level of perfection one can achieve in Photoshop is directly related to their level of artistic abilities :)
if you define yourself by your hate of a photo-software
i pity you
because i define myself by the things i like
and i like software like photoshop or gimp
Photoshop did it well , very well :)
oki...
MVHH
Green thing sitting on the bench.
So what's next?
What about GIMP
That is a fairly aragonite assumption.
everyone has! lol so of course
it's one of the things that make humans human.
First guy talking about 'fantasy but photorealistic' in simpler terms that's just called surrealism. lol.
I like how the comments haven't decided to go completely apeshit because "oh no, there was a pony, my day is ruined". :P
So basicly photoshop is like a version of paint that does 90%(might be of) of the work for you? So basicly it's a tool or a weapon...Now that it's here does anyone remember the guy who fought the lion with his bear hands when someone can beat 1 a month with a sword...?
MVHH
Maaan... Now I feel like a bad artist. :T
Oh, I should have been more clear, "majority of this stuff on the web" not this particular artist who is clearly doing more than effects garbage and overlays, which he does do a lot of.
Then they would have gone technologically backwards.
One eye #f
Probably both.
Who or what is that?
Even Sarah Jessica Parker's retouch was gross lol
This life is photoshopped, because this can't be real.
People like you are the exact reasons why the discussion within the video was brought up. Elitists thinking that traditional painters are superior...
he would have to date them which would find them fake. Scientists aren't idiots you know.
So, you're not big with logic, are you?
>Photoshopping doesn't take a lifetime to master
>Painting takes a lifetime to master
Heh, aside that many great artists were already great in their twenties -- you somehow seem to think that Photoshop has a skill ceiling much lower than painting (which might not have a skill ceiling at all).
I have no idea where you get that idea, but it seems that you simply have no idea what you're talking about. Neither about art nor about technique.
The majority of this is just overlayerd effects garbage and retouching with ridiculous pretension. I am not impressed to say the least. This is not even at the level of a valid argument like in music with the use of Pro Tools in the studio and how musicians like Jack White feel about that kind of computer locked in studio perfection. There will never be PS Picasso, thank god.
or is photoshop (and other digital tools) directing people and our perceptions - awful
