Adobe Photoshop

I love taking photographs. I love capturing moments and freezing time. I love being able to see those moments and remember the memories. But sometimes, the photographs don’t always turn out as the moment did.
Sometimes, the flash doesn’t work. Sometimes, red-eye can’t be ignored. Sometimes, pimples seem to stand out more than a smile. It is for this reason that I have come to love not only taking photographs, but also editing them using Adobe Fireworks.
This semester in our Digital Media lab class, Adobe Photoshop was introduced to us. This common, easy-to-use, graphic editing software has seemed like a tool that parallels with the capture button on my camera.
Adobe Photoshop is an editing software program that allows users to expand, explore, manipulate and create images to come alive. The architect of Photoshop was a graduate engineering student. Photoshop allows users to erase, re-define, and organize elements of old photographs as well as re-construct new photographs. Many visual inspirations are built using Photoshop. Large advertising companies use Photoshop to make solicit products and events.
Using Photoshop users can apply many tools to create the perfect picture. Some tools are the vector tool. The vector tool is used to draw shapes or characters. The filter tool is used to allow images to appear with accented features, or the text tool to bring words into a shot.
Photoshop today has allowed me to make posters for school events, as well as joking around with family, like putting my brother’s head on Elmo’s body.
