Photoshop is a software package designed to allow the user to manipulate digital images. Essentially, it’s the developing room for the pictures you take on a digital camera.
The higher the quality of camera, the more Photoshop can let you do with your images. If you have the capacity to take images in RAW format, for example, then a little Photoshop training will give you the ability to treat the pictures as though they were negatives and you were in a darkroom.
Photoshop enables the user to alter the warmth of the colours in the picture; to adjust the sharpness and white balance; and to apply a number of effects. Photoshop training may give you an overview of these effects, which range from simple ones like changing a photo from colour to black and white or sepia, to more complex ones including the ability to fix images and the ability to make them look distorted or in other wise deliberately altered.
Photoshop even gives the user the ability to take elements of one photograph and blend them into another – for example, taking human figures from one setting and blending them into a different background. Photoshop training may develop an understanding of this.
Photoshop also allows the user to create images from scratch, without pre-existing digital file input.
Like many popular programs, Photoshop has both basic and advanced level functionality. Advanced Photoshop use takes some time to learn, and gives the user free reign over the creation and manipulation of digital images; including the creation of images with multiple layers; and the ability to create three dimensional images.
Business users may require the use of the program for creating advertising images, or for inserting customised images into news feeds and newsletters. For the personal user, Photoshop can turn amateur photography into a serious hobby.
