It has reached a point where it has replaced film in the hearts and minds of both amateur and professional shooters.

Combined with this desire for the familiar is an realization of the new powers of Photoshop and a whole new world of effects that can be produced by it. Image makers need a tool that simplifies the process of creating photographic style effects such as alternative processes, toners, filters, and even the look of film.
