Photosketch

My fascination with this program goes hand in hand with my thoughts on the font software. It's pretty cool that you can draw in a really general shape to go with the object you intend to portray, and the program will go through ALL of the photos available to find the best match.

When we spoke in class about it, there seemed to be a lot of concern about the idea that Photoshopped images are starting to look more authentic. Though I'm not really sure why this should come as such a surprise. Most of the complaints about Photoshop have to do with the fact that if a pic isn't authentic, it shows. So why would engineers NOT address this issue? But Autumn did mention that her job as a graphic designer might be at stake. And while I tend to agree that new software changes the landscape of certain jobs, it doesn't necessarily destroy them. Maybe instead of being immediately rejected, the software should be embraced, used as a tool that would effectively open up other opportunities within the graphic design field.
