...so you make Photoshop your own by changing settings, and anyone who uses Photoshop's default brushes is a crappy artist? I'm sorry, but great art can be made by using standard brushes. Transfer this to the real world sense (eg, not digital). This would mean that all the great artists of the world would have to gather their own hairs, furs, etc, and build their own brushes, else they would be considered crappy for using store-bought ones. This makes no sense. And think about the people who design brushes for other people to use. Maybe they themselves are not good artists, but have a talent for making brushes. Or, maybe they are just generous enough to let others use them. I realize that the brushes one uses can enhance a piece of art, however, they do not have a direct relationship to that artist's [FONT="]ability.[/FONT]
Are you saying that when someone types a poem, or story, they are a poor writer because they didn't design their own font?
PS: Just because you make money doing something, doesn't necessarily mean you know everything. This is a fact.
I'm going to stop now, feel free to PM me with more of your argument.
