I used it to create some art. I created image layers using p5.js and combined those 5 images using the previous version. I found the layering system pretty obvious, with the opacity and merging very straight forward. I used to be pretty ok at photoshop.. before the subscription days. The export vs save as was a little confusing but the whole process wasn’t hard.
Those images got into an exhibition so I’m pretty happy.
Photoshop literally has whole training companies and conferences on how to use the software. I ended up at a photoshop world conference. When I was on Mac I’d use pixelmator for quick crops and edits (or even the preview). That’s easier, but these programs are very powerful and you need a little bit to learn them.
Yeah, It's not about what's easy (especially in a community like this). These tools aren't for people who necessarily desire easy solutions. It's just about hat pays and what you grew up with. Microsoft used a similar approach decades ago, and it paid off in spades. But navigating Windows also isn't as easy as we'd think as people who grew up on it.
