Some of us are just that much more visual than others!
That and applying, then fading a gaussian blur on a custom mask of
the background elements of your photo is just plain a b*tch on the
command line.
Same for layering a guitar track over a drum loop.
And don't EVEN get me started on merging particle effects and a
moving matte into a video layer, and adding titles on top of it all.
Gee, I don't think it's all that rare, after all....
Bruce, I'm not arguing against graphics. I do love them. I am just
saying that in many instances (and a point of sale system is a great
example) they are slower. I am visual, yes. But there are times I
just can't get a handle on an applications stock icon in the dock,
for whatever reason. I have my finder set up in list view as well, as
not only am I visual, but things need to stay in the same place (you
should see my frustration when a manufacturer changes the color or
design of a favorite grocery store item, I am completely lost LOL).
I entered computers in the days of TI 99-/4A's (and I know that's not
"spelled" right, it's been years). Then DOS, then the Mac in '87. But
where I can use a keyboard, I will.
Photoshop and Illustrator are for the most part mouse apps for me,
for the reasons you listed above. :)
