When a brand name becomes a verb, it tells you something. If I say I’m an image editor, people sometimes hesitate. But when I say I Photoshop, they immediately understand.

I started out with Barco Creator, but the foundation remains the same: masking, adjusting light and color, retouching, building compositions, and occasionally illustrating. About 85 percent of the tools I use today have been with me for thirty years. They’ve improved, some are automated, but it still comes down to seeing what needs to change, and what should stay untouched.
