I think other processes and &quot;skills&quot; will be packaged into brushes or processes making \u00a0Photoshop increasingly easy to use for the common computer user.\u00a0<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(The first Photoshop splash screen)Did you know that Photoshop was released in 1990 for the Mac?
