Graphic Designer, Peter Wilson, uses image manipulation software to improve a sunset by adding another Sun and purple clouds.

Adobe Photoshop Used To Fix God's Mistakes
by Patrick Kirk Gillock

Chesterville, WA - This evening Peter Wilson, a 28 year-old Graphic Designer for the design studio Radikal, commented on the lack of chroma in this evenings sunset. "If I had Photoshop I could just adjust the magenta levels and it would be perfect!"

At work Peter explained, "Sometimes we get photos of scenery or of people and it's all wrong. The sky should be more blue and a persons hair color might look better red instead of black." He went on to say, "Actually there's a new plug-in called SunSettings in which it will automatically create a better looking and more realistic sunset. You haven't really seen a sunset until you've seen one through Photoshop!"

When asked if he feels like he is playing God, Peter replied, "I don't get paid enough to do that."
