What Photoshop Would Look Like in Real Life
Posted by Gizmodo US Edition at 12:06 PM on November 8, 2008
This project shows us what Photoshop would look like if the UI were rendered in real life. If you check out this Flickr gallery of how it was created, it seems safe to say that this display is tangible, and was not created by computer graphics, or even—you guessed it!—Photoshopped. [BoingBoing]

Can't help it. If it looks hand made, has cardboard and stuff, and looks just... well, dammit, cutesy... I'm gonna say it looks like LittleBigPlanet.
Big whoop, wanna fight about it?

That could actually be a pretty good user interface. I would skin my photoshop like that, it would be so cool.

This was Workshopped. I can tell by some of the cardboard, because I'm seen many such art projects in my lifetime.

By the way this would be an amazing Little Big Planet level.

Alright! Cue the new standard for judging real life by Little Big Planet :) This can go with the phrases "GTA clone" and "Halo/Doom/Quake clone."

I bet they used GIMP... It looks real but at same time fake. Truthfully if not for the other photos I might think it's fake.

Whether it's real or not, it's still really charming. I would love to see this as a large surface interface, life-size.

Adobe CS5 - Now comes in a really big box and is not actually software.

They do know that magic lassoes don't exist in real-life, don't they?

Still the idea is good and i haven't seen anythink like it before
UI of Windows and the UI of Mac OSX working out in real life looks fun

I was always wondering where the layer window was in my life, makes painting so much easier.

Fun to see that most of you didn't even look at the flickr gallery, which cleary shows it's hand made. I didn't expect it to be that large by the way

@Avizzv92: I'm not sold either, it looks like they did touch it up on the real photoshop.

Reminds me of a really old version of painter for mac. It had menus that slid down like drawers. It ran like crap

A kind of cool way to introduce PS to techno-phobes. Make it seem less intimidating if they see it comes from real things they are familiar with.

Seriously... thank you for sharing that.
Rarely does a college prank make me smile as much as that one did.
Fantastic.
