Quoted from docquest:Why does everyone keep crapping on Photoshop?
Don't they realize its just a tool to manipulate existing artwork which could be hand drawn or photographic?
Do people realize that the Ghotbusters art on the pinball machine was probably composited and edited using photoshop (or equivalent digital editing software).
Photoshop is a tool and like any tool it can be used with amazing results or horrible results depending on the skills of the user.
I think most are aware what photoshop is and of course and graphics these days are going to be digitally manipulated. What they are referring to though is Sterns history of just cutting artwork or digital images from other sources and pasting them on to a playfield.
As for Ghostbusters.... "All models feature beautiful and unique hand drawn art by renowned illustrator Jeremy Packer a.k.a. Zombie Yeti."
He drew the assets for the machine, not cut and pasted them from other sources. There is a difference and Stern really should know that people will know and pick apart everything they do.
