There are some programs that I don't think will be "mastered" by most people who use them because the programs are so massive. I've been using ProTools for 15+ years and I'm certainly no master of it. I know how to use it to fulfill my needs but there are many capabilities of that program I've never learned because they weren't necessary to what I do.
Same thing with Photoshop. I'm very good with Photoshop and I can do every thing I need to do with it but I'm probably only touching about 25% of the program. I can do most things people request of me but I'm certainly not at the "master" level.
And not being a master of either bothers me not one bit. If I need to add something to my skill set, there are plenty of tutorials out there and I've done that when the occasion required it or when my interest was piqued by something I heard or saw. But so long as my overall needs are served by what I know, I'm pretty content.
