Such is the nature of how we see photographs in the age of Photoshop. Thanks to Adobe and the four employees who created the piece of software, we are able to become digital artists in almost no time flat; because of this amazing democratization of technology, though, almost nothing we see on the internet is trustworthy. From a skinnier Kardashian to a prescient preview of what Brett Favre would look like in a Viking uniform, anythings possible....

No, that one is real. I was watching when it happened. The cop was playing, “Ruby, Ruby” by Dion and the Belmonts. You can see the shadow of one their music stands on the wall.

Sniff. I really miss it, still. What's it been, 20 plus years?
It had one great feature that PS doesn't have, the ability to rotate an image based on a straight line in the image itself. You can do it with PS, but the old Photostyler had the easiest way to do.
I still use an old version of PS, something like 5.0 or 6.0. Just couldn't find enough in the newer ones to warrant mastering a new learning curve with every iteration of it.
Thanks for memories!

Use the ruler.
Drag the line along the edge you want to rotate.

I love the guy with the beer during Katrina and the guy on the roof with the plane coming at him. Also, jihd guy. I forgot what we named them.

Ive been using Photoshop for about 12 years Hey, me too. I statred with Photoshop 2. Remember that one? They had the best clone tool ever!! There has never been any other clone tool to rival that one. It also had an automatic page curl that the new ones don't have. Oh, well, we have Content-Aware Scale.

This one's real. I took it myself with a Kodak Easyshare right before global warming killed us all:

I like how Photoshop let's you take pictures of dead guys and reimagine how things go when they next open their eyes in hell.
And thank you US military for providing the real photographs of real dead guys.

PhotoShop has not evolved gracefully, that's for sure. Especially with regard to the way that gradients are done. :(
