Photoshop - Introduction

Photoshop is a software application that provides one with the ability to edit and create images through the use of various tools. The program requires an enormous amount of skill to be fully utilized by its user. In other words someone that has a basic-advance level of technical expertise of the program can only use the program effectively. A basic user of Photoshop should at the very least possess the ability to manipulate a project through the use of Lasso, move, select, edit, copy, menu, and layer management. The Lasso tool allows the user to select an area of an image or layer by drawing a selection that he/she can than operate. The move tool on the other hand allows the user to move around different images from different layers as well as selections, such as ones created by the lasso tool. The select menu allows for the inversion of different selections as well as amassed a selection over a number of layers that provides a greater working field. The editing tools, such as clear, copy and paste, allow one to multiply, clear away, and move around different images and layers. All of the following, when used appropriately can be used in synergy with layer management to provide the user with a field in which he can create and develop various projects. I plan on using photoshop throughout my A2 year to edit a variety of images to create projects and visual aids.
