Photoshop // or magic...

What is Photoshop? Well it is a product published and created by Adobe. Being a raster graphics editor, the main purpose of using this application is for retouching images and creating digital art. If you want to edit a photo of yours or even manipulate any sort of image either improving or deforming pictures, then using Photoshop is for you.

There are different features that you can use when it comes to editing an image. The main one is Retouching; this consists of amending an image to fix imperfections and better improving them. Image re-sizing well as the word suggests, is when you have the image and you fix the size of the image be it bog or small. Sometimes, an image comes out very bland or plain, so you can use Colour Correction to make it better and to make it pop out. When taking pictures on the phone or on the camera, it usually comes out in RGB, which is not bad, but when you are looking to print, that is not the colour format required, it needs to by CYMK to be printed and Photoshop allowed for that conversion to take place. Another feature that photoshop has, is Image Montaging or simply Collages; this is where you can put multiple images in one image and arrange it an a fun or creative way. Don't you hate when you take a photo and it doesn't match the resolution for instagram, well, photoshop can fix this as you can choose the proportion and rearrange the image to fit. And it is even possible to create timeline animations on photoshop.
