I like this analogy of how peeps focus on equipment:

"I've got a copy of Quark Express and Photoshop, and for some reason my graphic designs still don't look like professional jobs.

Should I get a better computer? I have a Mac G4.


I also have several paint brushes and oil paints but for some reason, my paintings don't look very professional either. Should I get a new canvass or should I just learn how to paint?"

how yall feel about that? i like it

Hey,

You should tell that guy to get the new G5 with the new dual hyper-amoxilating processing units, it will make everything he does look pro...

That will serve him right, forking out $4000 on his stupidity.

you should know by now, its not what you have, its how you use it (to a certain extent anyway) im sure you have everything you need, you just haven't used it to its full capabilities yet, that is with anything.

I'd tell them to cut off their ear, go queer, take prozak and have passionate feelings for their mothers...just like any other big painter, that's the way to go big... ;)

yo the point being made was not about photoshop in particular, the point was better paint brushes will not make you a better painter.

in the same way better/more expensive equipment will not make you a better producers
