Things always change. I'm retired and worked in the printing industry. I started out in bindery then became a pressman and worked up to the biggest press. But I wanted to work in the graphics camera department. I acquired a lot of skill and was efficient at producing the required results. Then digital came in (1994) and I moved to color scanning, correction and retouching. Again I developed skills to efficiently produces excellent results. I worked with Photoshop and was respected for the magic we could do and the ability to achieve the correct color quickly for very demanding customers. This was early in the digital age. But as technology developed and became more affordable our customers started getting their own scanners and cameras so my services dwindled, as well as their demand for perfect color. The next move was to digital printing where I finally retired. The thing is I've learned so many skills, many still valuable but many are now long forgotten and nothing I could pass down. It's sad but that's how life is, something I think we become more aware of with age.
