Adobe Photoshop is graphic design
software that is employed to create professional logos and digital
artwork and to work with vector graphics. It is correctly referred to as
computer software that allows graphic artists
and web designers and developers to accomplish image creation and
manipulation in digital and print format. This computer software can be
used to work with images that are only in print format because scanners
allow for printed photos and artwork to be transformed into digital
graphic files so they can be manipulated in a variety of ways using
Adobe Photoshop.
One of the ways in which Adobe Photoshop can
be used to manipulate images is by removing what is known as red eye in
photographs. This powerful and versatile software even permits an
experienced user to change the background and foreground of a photo. It
is used to accomplish photo retouching
to make a person's image appear flawless by adjusting tones, lighting
and gradients and by covering up imperfections by the stamping over them
with another color or parts of another image. Adobe Photoshop
provides digital tools that allow a user of this computer software to do
such things as make it appear that someone was found at a certain scene
or in a particular geographical area.
The power of Adobe Photoshop to manipulate images makes it possible
to cut the photo of a person from one scene or background and paste it
into another scene of a different background. In fact, it can be used to
combine any number of images to form an image limited only by one's
imagination. Of course, such image editing capabilities can be used in
criminal activities and to create deception. Web designers often use
Adobe® Photoshop® to create web site templates that show the chosen
color scheme and placement of information such as navigational links and
advertisements. These templates can then be what "sliced up" into
sections needed for the building of a functional web site with this
software.
Although Adobe Photoshop can be used to completely build a website,
this use of it is generally advised against because of the code that it
automatically generates and which can be difficult to edit at a later
date. Graphic artists who design print signs, fliers, brochures, book
covers, business cards and many other items often featuring graphics
make use of Adobe® Photoshop® to have complete control in creating the
image or images they desire. Trial versions of this software often are
available to allow users the opportunity to work with it before
purchasing it.
