Photoshop — as its name implies — is a software package that takes all the powers of a professional photography studio and brings it into your own hands and onto your own personal computer. Debuting way back in the dark ages of computers (1987), Photoshop has grown into the end-all be-all of image editing/manipulation/creation programs.
Photoshop has become so powerful, and its legions of loving users have become so skilled at using it, that photography — a medium that has long garnered a reputation of preserving facts — is now under question. Images can be crafted and manipulated so skillfully with Photoshop that — in many cases — you can't tell an altered image from an unaltered one.
So as you're probably beginning to understand, Photoshop isn't just another software program that you're learning; it's a culture, it's a movement, and it's changing the way society is perceiving reality.
This is a list of some of the things Photoshop CS is capable of:
- Fix images with poor color or lighting conditions. Improve detail and clarity in washed-out images or reveal parts of an image hidden in shadow.
- Remove the dreaded "red eye."
- Repair old photographs. Fix up grandma and grandpa's wedding photos!
- Creating photo composites. Remember, in elementary school art classes, when you would cut photos out of magazines and paste them together to create a new composition? Imagine being able to do that again but having the power to make it look real.
- Combine multiple photos together to create a panoramic photograph.
- Easily print a contact sheet to fit as many photos as possible of your daughter's first day at school onto a single sheet of paper.
- Create business cards, letterheads, logos, flyers, newsletters, and posters using images and text.
- Use built-in filters and styles to easily apply various effects to your images and text.
- Anything else you can imagine, Photoshop CS can probably do.
