I admit I have a bias. I took a couple of classes ut each one was taught by men that did not know as much as I did and that ended my pursuit of higher education about software and it's usage. I just cannot get past the idea that a professor must know enough that we, at least, share information.I'm not talking about restoring photos. I'm talking about professional digital art creation kind of stuff, where PS is indeed the best. For most things most people do, I agree GIMP is absolutely fine.
I think you are being a bit unfair to those that teach graphic design in PS. I have found video tutorials etc to be very helpful but that does not negate professional help.
And any college should never hire any instructor without certain standards being met but with the general dumbing down of the Americas that appears to be getting lost.
Today,even Bible Teachers that do not believe the scriptures "are" the Word of God are teaching and they are pastors in churches near the schools. My first instructor in Basic Software did not even know Q-Basic but I needed the course if I were to be licensed and at that time, in the late nineties I wanted the license. In my next and following class the Proff did not know that a Disassembler existed to take programes apart, fix and reassemble. I used one, almost every weekend at the time to fix errors in individual's programs in the late seventies and up until I quit messing with the errors of programmers. Learning from research and no9t even employed by the industry I was disillusioned, immediately, because these "men of knowledge" were teaching our future IT Staff?
I turned out much like my favorite it, who heads the staff of a large company, I just plunged in and forgot the license. Billy, later took the test and left me behind but he was dragged kicking and screaming into the windoze world. He still runs his desk top with a Linux flavor to repair the clerk staff's units, but?
