>Photoshop showed up in 1990 and the people retouching photos by hand had every reason to be worried, because it took that work. It didn't take photography. Thirty-odd years on it's open on every photographer's machine and nobody calls it a threat.

Uh, the entire film industry went under, along with film developers and the majority of film cameras. Everything shifted to digital, for the most part, which is why "every photographer" has "Photoshop". (which also really isn't true. I'd say many probably have Gimp as Photoshop has lots its mind charging fees)
