Make it Monday: Photoshop Tools - First Years' Focus & Fire

Adobe Photoshop is getting ready to turn 25; hard to believe! As a way to commemorate this occasion, Lynda.com created a fantastic video that goes over a few of the Photoshop Tools and their origins: the darkroom. If you're curious to know where the "dodge and burn" tool came from, photographer Konrad Eek will teach you in this video! Interested to see how one would come up with a strong contact sheet before using Adobe Bridge or Lightroom? For those of you who have yet to have the opportunity to step foot in a darkroom, this will be an eye-opener. For those of you who "remember the good ole days" of film, chemicals, tongs, and timers, this will be a nice trip down memory lane.
