I’ve become rather engrossed with Photoshop in my own work. My first reaction is the same as yours: “My god - with these tools, the whole look of design should have changed. Why hasn’t it?” The answer is generally that, as with all computer-based things, the technology filters out most of the interesting people, and forces them to wait. It takes immense amounts of time to trawl through the dreadful manuals and engage in conversations with the addled numbskulls who get enthusiastic about this crap. Only nitwits make it through (with enormous exceptions, of course), since only they have that kind of time to spare.
