There are many people who will say that Photoshop is bad and that you shouldn't rely on photo editing too much (or at most you should do just some brightness corrections).
Well, I think that this is a big BS! Why should we suppress our digital art creativity in any way?
Just look at these inspirational photo manipulations by Erik Johansson, and think for a while - could these stunning pictures be done without Photoshop? No!
So stop complaining, choose a beautiful photo to work on, and grab a Photoshop tutorial!
