What I learned Working with Adobe CC for a Decade!

I started my illustration and drawing talent as early as age of four, you know those pastel colored pencils, wooden colored pencils, and carbon shades of gray pencils.

By that time and before the technology of personal computing was revealed; those tools along with different types of white paper sheets were my best imaginable toolset.

When I started with CPM operating system on an Apple II back in late 1970s, I started discovering how to talk to the graphics card using machine code to apply mathematical algorithms that bring to screen marvelous drawings based on mathematical equations, and that was stunning to a thirteen years old boy.

When PC Paint Brush was launched on MS-DOS in 1984 it had been a revolutionary thing to me that I can use electronic pencils and brushes to draw with different colors.

With the introduction of Microsoft Paint on first versions of Windows back in 1985, it was not worth moving to for a terminal guru.

I have not started with Adobe products until 2003 when the CS version 8 of Photoshop was released, the reason is that I had been busy with other areas of programming and solution designs and architecture.

When I started falling back to my passion Adobe products where my best hit, although I worked with Autodesk products, 3d Studio Max, Maya, etc.

Since that time Adobe kept getting me attached, astonished, and admiring, I bet that there is no expert on Earth who masters all the known and hidden gems of any product within the Adobe CC suite.

Every day, we keep learning new things and Adobe keeps adding more!

But hold on! What I had, have, and continue to have learned every day?

A Tool Of Meditation

I find using drawing and painting tools like Photoshop and Illustrator as a tool of meditation. It gets me relaxed when I start manipulating a photo in Photoshop or create a vector illustration in Illustrator.

A Stunning Productivity Toolset

Those days of spending nights to come up with an abstract painting like that in the banner of this article are gone with the tools in Photoshop. The above abstract took me literally three minutes to produce!

Encouraging Continuous Learning

Every single day I figure out a new tool or set of tools, a new technique, or a new domain where I can learn and start applying within my capacity to provide better outcome. The Adobe CC suite encourages me to learn and continue learning.
