Adobe Photoshop has been helping people manipulate images for 25 years, and it’s a hell of a lot easier to use now than it was in 1990. Today’s photo-editing pros struggle mightily with Photoshop 1.0 software in this video from CreativeLive—even those who had once used it before.

No dock? No layers? No live preview? And just one “Undo”? This isn’t computing; this is madness.

Comforting to know that if civilization all but collapses, we can still insert OK drop shadows.
