While technology changes daily ... that only changes the tools with which we have at our disposal.
There are two things that never change:
A) The character and nature of light
B) The human physiological response to compositional elements, i.e. tonal values, lines, shapes, textures, scale, symmetry, hue, etc.
So, whether it was Rembrandt with a paint brush, AA in the darkroom or us in Photoshop ... the end product remains the same as visual means of communicating to our viewer that which we aspire to convey, irregardless of the tools involved. As with any craft, the mastery of the tools (new or old) must reside alongside the mastery of the principles involved in the craft.
+1 @ OEM/mfr's pushing the tool as being the do all / end all ... it is only the beginning .. unless you want it to be the ending. Technology can only aspire to replicate what we are already capable of ... yet it perpetually falls short at reading our creative minds.
