Hoover Vacuum cleaners had 1 function. Guess people picked up on the word after a while.
Graphics programs thankfully do alot more than 1 function.
Individual people (like myself) are more passionate about what programs they use and would not like to be generalised into the market leaders programs.
If i post produce something in Paintshop Pro, its wrong to say it was done in Photoshop.
Like if I render an image using 3D graphics program like MAYA, its wrong to say I used 3dStudioMAX skills on it.
Adobe Photoshop is a fantastic program and I use it all the time. Painter is a fantastic program and I also use that. In a sence they are really different. One is an image processing/graphics program and the other is a expressional art program.
What im trying to say is i dislike generalising things like software programs.
Credit where credit is due !
I mean why dont we just call linux, windows??
ok im done…
