Photoshop is an amazing piece of computer software that
allows its users to manipulate and create images. The use of Photoshop is
pervasive throughout the professional worlds of photography and graphic design.
The first version of Photoshop hit the market in 1990 as a Macintosh product;
it is now on its eleventh release and compatible with any system. Why should
you use Photoshop?
Photoshop gives you an enormous advantage over designing
with a paper and pen. You can easily fix your mistakes without any messy
erasing. There are a variety of templates for the less artistically inclined to
choose from. Also, a finished Photoshop product invariably looks more
professional than a hand-drawn product.
Once you have decided to invest in image editing software,
you may notice that Photoshop is a very costly product. Current versions of
Photoshop CS4 run between $500 and $600. It is possible to find much cheaper
image editing software and some computers even come with a factory-installed
program. However, there are four broad reasons why you should use Photoshop
over other cheaper or free image editing software. These four reasons are:
versatility, a user-friendly interface, easy access to training, and a variety
of functions.
Versatility: There is very little that Photoshop is not able
to accomplish for you. It doesn't matter if you're an amateur photographer who
wants to do some simple cropping to family snapshots. Conversely, top
photographers and graphic design professionals use Photoshop for image creation
and editing.
User-friendly interface: Photoshop was designed with the
consumer in mind. No specialized programming skills are needed and its drawing
canvas, where images are created, is WYSIWYG - what you see is what you get.
Many elements of Photoshop are similar to other computer programs. For example,
the menu bar has the same file, edit, view, and help options as Microsoft Word.
The tools in the toolbox modify your pointer so that you will remember what
tool you are using.
Easy access to training: Because Photoshop is an immensely
popular software tool, there are a plethora of books, online tutorials, and
college courses available to train the new user in the workings of Photoshop.
You can not only find information suitable for a beginner, but also a detailed
description of some of Photoshop's most advanced tools.
Variety of functions: Photoshop is able to perform an almost
endless variety of image edit and creation functions.
Photo manipulation - take a downloaded or scanned photo and
reduce red-eye and other imperfections, crop the photo, or change the sharpness
or contrast of the image
Painting and drawing - use the drawing canvas and toolbox to
create new images
Graphic design - take scanned artwork or artwork created in
Photoshop itself and add layers, gradients, and much more to create graphic art
that sells.
Typography and page layout - Photoshop allows you to manipulate both
text and image on the same drawing canvas but in different layers. This allows
you to create presentations and other projects that require a juxtaposition of
text and image.
