This is the basic presentation about the Adobe Photoshop, And its versions , and its working areas, etc which clear all the basic knowledge about Adobe Photoshop.
2. What is Photoshop?
Adobe Photoshop is a raster graphics editor developed and published by
Adobe Systems for macOS and Windows.
Photoshop is considered one of the leaders in photo editing software.
The software allows users to manipulate, crop, resize, and correct color on
digital photos.
The software is particularly popular amongst professional photographers
and graphic designers.
Starting from version uptil version 6 it has become more versatile and is
now a staple for print designers, web designers, video professionals and
more.
3. A brief History of Photoshop
Photoshop was developed in 1987 by the
American brothers Thomas and John Knoll, who
sold the distribution license to Adobe Systems
Incorporated in 1988.
4. A brief History of Photoshop
Thomas Knoll, a PhD student at the University of Michigan, began writing
a program on his Macintosh Plus to display grayscale images on a
monochrome display. This program, called Display, caught the attention of
his brother John Knoll, an Industrial Light & Magic employee, who
recommended that Thomas turn it into a full-fledged image editing
program. Thomas took a six-month break from his studies in 1988 to
collaborate with his brother on the program. Later that year, Thomas
renamed his program Photoshop
During this time, John traveled to Silicon Valley and gave a
demonstration of the program to engineers at Apple and Russell Brown,
art director at Adobe.
Both showings were successful, and Adobe decided to purchase the license
to distribute in September 1988.
6. Applications of Photoshop
Editing Photos
Editing Photos is Photoshop’s original
use — it’s in the name after all. Even
after a quarter of a century of
competition, Photoshop is the most
powerful image editor out there. You
can modify any pixel in an image pretty
much any way you’d like.
7. Applications of Photoshop
Digital Painting
Most paintings, cartoons, book covers, and
other art that you see online isn’t created
with a paintbrush, paints, and a canvas. It
might not look like it but most of them are
now “painted” using a
computer. Photoshop is one of the most
popular apps for doing just that.
Digital painting uses technology to emulate
old school, brush-in-hand, beret-on-head
painting. With a Waccom graphics
tablet you can draw or paint without
having to use a mouse, or god-forbid, a
touchpad.
8. Applications of Photoshop
Graphic Design
Although Adobe also has graphic design
specific apps like InDesign and Illustrator in
the Creative Cloud, many of their tools have
been incorporated into Photoshop as well. For
example, the Pen Tool is a staple in almost all
Adobe’s apps.
While Photoshop isn’t the best graphic design
app out there, it is entirely competent.
Something more specialized will make your life
easier but there is very little you can’t do. If
you’re going to do regular design work,
investing time in learning one of the other
apps is worth it, but if you just occasionally
want to create a Christmas card, design your
t-shirt, mock up a quick logo for your
business, or even create a business
card, Photoshop is perfect.
9. Applications of Photoshop
Web Design
One of the most important steps in
web design is creating a mock up: a
finished design made in an app
like Photoshop. It’s something that
amateurs often skip. I know that when
I first started designing websites, I
jumped straight into coding rather
than taking the time to plan out what I
wanted the site to really look like. All I
had was a rough vision in my head.
10. Applications of Photoshop
Editing Video
The best thing about editing videos
in Photoshop is that you get to use
adjustment layers just as if you were editing
a photo. If you want to convert a regular
video you shot on your iPhone into a high
contrast, black and white, film noir style clip,
you can do it with just three layers.
If you know how to edit photos but don’t
know how to use apps like Premiere
Pro and After Effects, Photoshop can be a
great alternative. All the tools you’re
familiar with are there. Another awesome
feature of using Photoshop to edit videos is
you can also create GIFs!
11. Future of Photoshop
Project Louper lets you search for images with images. Use any image as
your starting point and Louper will search Behance for visually similar
images.
Defusing Photobombs is a tool that's designed to detect distractions in a
photograph and help you remove them using just one slider. When you
add a photo to the tool, it'll analyse it to find what it thinks are the biggest
distractions, and colour code those by how distracting they are – the more
distracting, the brighter white they'll appear. Then, you can simply use the
slide to remove the most distracting part.
Adobe is also bringing a special application known as Adobe XD just for
the UI/UX Designers.
