Yeah, I'd say there is a "value" to some obsolete skills.
Personal satisfaction counts as a value in my mind.

Sandman:
Sure, but most skills are acquired to be used professionally, and
an employer that sees you using outdated, slow and inefficient
methods will not be pleased. Or rather, an employer that sees a
younger less skilled person getting things done faster and with a
better end result - then that personal satisfaction isn't worth
much.

Today’s employer is more than likely going to use robotics on his
production line than skilled artisans. The employees with skills in
need of development are the ones maintaining those robots. Today
there are even some types of surgery which are performed better, and
safer with surgical robots than a surgeon who has years of developed
skill behind him/her.

I thought we were talking about photo editors? :-D

Well that, and how advancements in technology have changed our thinking in all
things from photography to manufacturing cars, and clothing, to surgery. To keep
things inline with what this discussion has been about, consider the
advancements in *Artificial Intelligence* (AI) applied to photography post
processing with software such as Photolemur, and in a lesser way, the use of AI
in Luminar.
