Magic-Button Syndrome

The delusion that editing images, design works, creating designs, or creating digital paintings and illustrations is a simple task that only takes a few minutes or with the push of the button.

This delusion is brought on by a combination of the inclusion of computer software and hardware into art and design worlds, as well has having minimal-to-zero understanding of the technical processes required to achieve the desired results.

Pam: I need you to make it look like I'm sitting next to Chewbacca on a roller coaster! That shouldn't take you long, right?

Tim: Actually it'll take me at least a few hours...

Pam: What do you mean!? It should only take you a few minutes! Aren't you going to just Photoshop it!?

Tim: Pam, you have what we call "Magic-Button Syndrome"...
