My Commitment to Quality
For over 25 years, I've been curating Photoshop tutorials, resources, and creative inspiration through Photoshop Roadmap. As digital publishing has evolved, so have my methods—always with the goal of delivering valuable, accurate content to the creative community.
How I Create Content
Curated Third-Party Content
My curated tutorial pages combine manual expert curation with automated generation workflows. This process involves:
- Manual content curation - I personally select high-quality tutorials based on my 25+ years of experience
- Automated page generation with extensively tested and fine-tuned prompts I've developed
- Quality assurance through continuous monitoring and prompt optimization
- Smart categorization using vector databases to ensure relevant content recommendations
Each tutorial page is created using AI models (primarily Claude Sonnet for new content, Gemini 2.5 Flash for archived content) that I've specifically trained on my editorial standards and formatting requirements.
Featured Articles & Roundups
The articles and roundups I author follow a collaborative human-AI editorial process:
1. Ideation & Strategy
I start with extensive brainstorming sessions across multiple AI platforms (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity). Through dozens of back-and-forth conversations, I develop article concepts, refine angles, and create detailed outlines that align with what I know my readers need and want.
2. Content Development
Once I have an outline I'm satisfied with, I ask the AI to create a first draft. Then comes the real work—I go through the entire text, sometimes in excruciating detail, suggesting changes and improvements. I often rewrite paragraphs myself and ask the AI to help me express them in proper English. What AI excels at is article structure and organizing complex concepts clearly.
3. Quality Control
Every article gets my line-by-line review for technical accuracy. I verify all tips, techniques, and software references against my 25+ years of Photoshop expertise. Nothing gets published until I'm confident it meets the standards my readers expect.
Why I Use AI Assistance
I believe AI is here to help give voice to those who have something important to say but may struggle to express it perfectly. As a Spanish-native speaker managing an English-language publication, this resonates deeply with me.
Rather than implementing relentless 100% automated content generation, I've chosen to create a carefully crafted, constantly improving professional workflow that combines the best of both worlds: AI's structural and linguistic capabilities with human expertise, judgment, and quality control.
These tools excel at:
- Content structure and organization - ensuring logical flow and comprehensive coverage
- Language refinement - helping me express complex creative concepts clearly
- Efficiency - allowing me to focus more time on curation and quality control
- Consistency - maintaining my editorial voice and standards across all content
What I Don't Do
I want to be clear about what my process is not:
This isn't 100% automated content generation. Every piece of content involves human input, editorial judgment, and quality control.
I'm not just pushing a button and publishing whatever comes out—I'm actively involved in shaping, refining, and verifying everything that appears on this site.
My Standards
Regardless of the creation method, all content I publish on Photoshop Roadmap must meet my quality criteria:
- Technical accuracy in all Photoshop-related information
- Clear, actionable guidance that helps readers achieve their creative goals
- Proper attribution for all third-party tutorials and resources
- Regular updates to ensure compatibility with current software versions
- Community value - content that genuinely serves my readers' needs
Transparency Promise
I believe in being transparent about my content creation process while focusing on what matters most: delivering valuable resources to the creative community. My use of AI is a tool to enhance, not replace, my editorial expertise and commitment to quality.
Like any content creator, I'm human and work within practical constraints. While I put significant effort into reviewing and refining every piece of content, perfection isn't always possible in a one-person operation. I strive for accuracy and quality while balancing the demands of consistently producing content for my readers.
