this is to say the least, INCREDIBLE. i literally sat there with my mouth open, in amazement in the leaps that adobe has taken to make this kind of technology possible.
video after the jump...







on one hand, it's amazing that something that is now so time consuming can be automated to a couple of mouse clicks and a 10 second wait, but on the other, I almost feel like it's taking any talent and skill out of photo editing and manipulation. over the past couple of years, we've seen a similar kind of effect with picnik, in that a large number of people who can point and click and type in an artistic font think that they're now graphic designers. i mean it definitely is the next step forward in adobe's technology, but is it one that will end up hurting the industry in the end? what do you guys think?
