How good it is to read of John Nack's outreach to users in the fresh look at Photoshop's toolkit. Refreshing! Encouraging.
My mind went to my iPhone apps from, for example, Tiffen where you have more than 100 'looks' that can be ordered up for that photo you just snapped. The way it's done there is to give you many small examples of change available. There is the guide photo at top and in the grid of 12 or so samples of how that will look if the app is told to do it.
That is progressive, too. In other words you can first zoom in, for example, and then as in a layer put a color change on the art. There is no need to see a "command-shift-standonyourhead-X" to get there. That's in the $2.99 app Photo fx if you want to look.
My other thought was to use the logical divisions of Photoshop talents that would display with either/both short text list of result and/or example of what happens as Photo fx does it.
Power users could keep -- for as long as they want -- the existing command structure until they tire of the 'standingonyourhead' part.
As usual, CreativePro gives me the first word on a most welcome project 'out there' and congratulations again on your good work.
