Manual Photoshop Tools

The BrushKnob Helps to Speed Up the Editing Process

— June 14, 2016 — Tech
The BrushKnob is a manual Photoshop tool that allows the user to connect the knob to two different existing Photoshop functions.

Designed by concept artist Wataru Kami in Tokyo, Japan, this tool is a control device that "allows the user to intuitively operate Photoshop tools." This means that not only will the user be able to use a mouse or keypad to manipulate and edit photos, but they can also use a knob and switch on this manual Photoshop. The knob on this device controls brush size while the switch alternates between the brush and eraser tools in Photoshop.

This additional tool for photographers and people who digitally manipulate photographs could speed up the process of editing during creative or corporate projects.
Trend Themes
1. Manual Photoshop Tools - Tools that enhance and optimize the Photoshop editing process through physical controls offer new ways to approach digital manipulation and design.
2. Intuitive Hardware Interfaces - Hardware interfaces that allow users to enhance their digital workflow by integrating physical and digital tools into a more seamless workflow can offer a competitive advantage to companies.
3. Personalized User Interfaces - Customizable user interfaces, like the BrushKnob, allow users to tailor tools to their specific needs and preferences, improving efficiency and user satisfaction.
Industry Implications
1. Graphic Design - The BrushKnob offers a new take on manual photo editing tools and could enhance the workflow of graphic designers in the industry.
2. Photography - Hardware improvements and intuitive interfaces like the BrushKnob could have a major impact on how photographers approach photo editing, offering new levels of customization and control.
3. Product Design - Concept artists and product designers could benefit from integrating physical tool interfaces that allow for a more immersive and effortless workflow during design and development.
