poll: Adobe Photoshop Camera App Makes Me Both Old and Young

[jesse_the_k]

Adobe figured out how to market to The Youth: deploy that ubiquitous generic word that is actually their trademarked brand and make it into a free camera.

Photoshop Camera app for iOS and Android

The business model is selling storage on Creative Cloud, and since you’re here anyway, can we interest you in every possible graphic design tool?

Built-in "AI" filters optimize portraits, selfies, landscapes, and food. Also pop art, Billie Eilish Blōhsh, celestial skies, Pride spectra and many many more. Totally Instagram-ready.

I used Photoshop 1.0 when I worked at a desktop publishing service bureau in 1990. That was fully thirty years ago which breaks my brain.

As this selfie shows, the Photoshop Camera filters rewind me to 2000, showing a lightly-wrinkled white woman wearing a coral hoodie, thick glasses, and COVID-copious randomly-curling short pepper-and-salt brown hair.

My hair is a big shift, as I’ve been barbering sleekly short since age 23. What do you think of the longer look?
