InstructionsThe FactsStep 1: Adobe Photoshop is the most advanced photo editing software available to the consumer. There is so much to the program that it takes a long time to master, but simple tasks can be learned easily. You can import for photos for editing, start on a blank slate for drawing and design, or use a mix of both for an original photo composition. There are over five versions of Photoshop released, with each new version improving on the previous one in style and function.
TypeStep 1: Adobe Photoshop features over 24 different tools that can be used to edit photos. The Marquee tool is used to highlight and edit or remove certain sections. You can highlight square, circle or row sections. For more detailed selections, you can use one of the three lasso tools. The lasso tools and pen tools allow much more detailed selections to remove bodies from pictures or other small details. For drawing, there are over 100 different brushes that users can use in the program. From simple circles to more advanced leaves and grass blades, there are brush options available for any project.
BenefitsStep 1: Using Adobe Photoshop in conjunction with other Adobe programs makes multimedia projects simple and a lot more organized. The use of their Layer function allows photos and projects to be separated into different sections that can all be manipulated and edited on their own. Those layers can then be brought into programs like Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere as a whole project or separate layers.
FunctionStep 1: Adobe Photoshop allows you to apply a wide range of filters to your photo projects as well. There are 15 artistic filters like colored pencil, plastic wrap and neon glow. You can also distort your pictures using blurs, ripples, noise and pixels. A detailed history tool allows you to go back and erase mistakes or changes made to photos. Pictures can be outputted into multiple formats like Jpeg, Gif, Pict or just a Photoshop file.
SignificanceStep 1: Adobe Photoshop has expanded personal photo use full fold. There are a lot of websites dedicated just to the program, offering contests, tutorials and news about the program (see Resources). It has turned photo editing into a personal hobby and resulted in the expansion of professional photographers and graphics editors.
