Adobe Photoshop The field of computer graphics would not be complete without the mention of Adobe Photoshop. In fact, it can be considered as the Microsoft windows of the graphics world. The Photoshop tools make retouching, manipulation and color correction possible within a few minutes as compared to many days used by professional photographers using traditional tools. Photoshop uses its own native format .psd for storing files. The layer information can be preserved in this format, permitting the user to effect changes at a later date. However the native format .psd gives rise to large and heavy files which are rather difficult to transfer to other computers. Photoshop can also work with several other graphics file formats like BMP, JPEG, and Gif etc. It is also capable of importing vector graphics. In the latest version, it is also possible to work on several digital camera formats making it easy for home users to manipulate digital images. Along with several other Adobe software, Photoshop can be used to create images not only for the print media but also for the internet, animation and motion pictures. An important feature of Photoshop is the plug-ins. With plug-ins the capability of Photoshop is extended phenomenally. In fact, a sub culture or mini world has developed under the umbrella of plug-ins. Effects such as grain, lens flare, degauss etc. are quite popular. Color correction and manipulation is an important feature of Photoshop, lending magic to real world images. Adobe Photoshop software is a pioneer in the field of computer graphics. It is moderately priced and is suitable for manipulating high resolution graphics. It can convert into a variety of graphics formats which are suited both for the print as well as web-sites.
