Some of you are probably reading the title of this article and instantly laughing it off as blasphemy. For those of you curious enough to stick around and actually read it… Hear me out. I’ve been teaching Adobe applications now for about 6-7 years.

In this article I’ll explore a few tasks that we as creatives are forced to create and I’ll also discuss why you should NOT be using Photoshop to do them.
