Photoshop

I like Photoshop. As a professional tool, Photoshop is one of the best. Photographers use it to touch up images; designers use it for ads, collateral, websites and other printed and interactive pieces; Playboy uses it to make their models look blemish-free; and so many other people have found multiple uses for the Adobe program. Me? I use it to put friend's heads on other bodies to make funny pictures.

With no formal training in Photoshop, I have been tinkering with it for years--since my early college years. I would pick up a few tricks here and there to go along with the basics, and used this knowledge to design t-shirts for club activities and fliers and brochures for events. When college was complete, I still used my Photoshop chops to do these same things--but found it much more useful to make fun of friends and have a good laugh. And in turn, they would do the same to me. Some of the best Photoshop battles took place at my previous job. We would end up tacking up pictures all over the office or leave them perfectly placed on one's monitor, greeting that person in the morning. One of my favorites is to the left. My friend Tom was displaying an unusual amount of sass and needed to be told so. Yep, I like Photoshop.
