You Know You're Addicted to Photoshop When...


You see the world with one eye and stock images with the other.

When asked what the primary colors are, answer "RGB"

You get the urge to 'fix' poor quality images.

You start teaching your significant other to use this "evil" program and in the space of one afternoon convince them it's at least only quasi-evil in the face of PSP.

You ramble about a breakthrough in the piece you're doing to people who have no idea in hell what you're talking about

You ponder the meaning of existence without layers.

You never leave the house without a digicam and notepad.

You drop something and your brain tells you automatically "Ctrl-Z! Ctrl-Z!". When you realize it won't work, your brain tells you "Ctrl-Alt-Z! Ctrl-Alt-Z!"

You're getting dressed for something important and you look in the mirror and realize you would look so much better if you could just tweak the levels a little and apply a slight gaussian blur.

You stop on the street to rant about cheesey effects that should not be on professional posters.

You scream out fonts as they appear on TV.

You have dreams in "glowing edges"

You're standing by the ocean and wondering who used Ocean Ripple.

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends who are addicted to Photoshop.

You scream out fonts as they appear on TV.

Actually, in my sleep deprived state this morning, I walked into whole foods, and mentioned aloud to myself that they really shouldn't have used the 'dear joe' font in that manner as it was really hard to read

and when i'm at work i wished for the levels and the gaussian blur to apply to various photos ;)

oh gosh, i'm horrible.

You look at a beautiful sunset with wispy clouds and think "airbrush!"



LOL .. these are great, and I'm a PSP fanatic.

I personally do the Ctrl-Z thing all the time. :mrgreen:

our keyboard at work on our frontier 370 (yes, THAT kind of frontier - made by fuji - the expensive one that i'm in charge of maintaining for some odd reason ;) ) doesn't have the ctrl-z function.. but i still try using it!!

[Clint_Smith]

oh the poster comment is SO me......

[ndsimm]

.....when you go to the movies and try to adjust the gamma on the screen to match the lighting

[adcastillo]

LOL. Im so glad that Im not the only one that does the Ctrl z thing!

OK, I'm dodging and burning (in my mind) everything I see.

Looking through old family photo albums you seriously consider scanning so you can clone out the powerlines, etc.

As for me, I've lost all ability to look at snapshots without thinking "in a pinch, a quick auto levels would make it look nicer..."

I'm new to photoshop, but am already thinking of the gaussian blur and/or clone stamp every morning when I look in the mirror before applying makeup.
