Introduction to photoshop

Here is some more useful information about when , by whom , etc. photoshop was developed , released , etc.

Photoshop is a software program developed by Adobe that allows users to edit graphics . It is used by graphic artists , designers and photographers , among others , and can enhance and manipulate images to improve their overall appearance . It is an excellent tool that makes photo editing easy and efficient . Once you get the hang of it , you can manage and edit photos in a fraction of the time it would take you to do it in other ways . For this reason , photographers , editors , designers and artists love using it - both beginners and professionals .
Here are some examples of products/pictures that has been created using photoshop . They are not my own ones , I took them from the internet , but I just think they are good examples in terms of different ways in which photoshop can be used . Photoshop is used by so many people and in different jobs as well . Most of the time photoshop is used by digital designers or just any designers .





This week was my first experience with photoshop and I found it an incredibly interesting and useful program and really want to learn even more skills than I was given .

Lasso Tool can be found by simply pressing the letter L on your keyboard . There are two other types of lasso tools as well - the Polygonal Lasso Tool and Magnetic Lasso Tool . They are both hiding behind the standard lasso Tool in the Tools panel . 


All these three tools share the letter L as their keyboard shortcut for selecting them , so depending on how you have things set up in Photoshop's Preferences , you can cycle through the three tools either by pressing the letter L repeatedly or by pressing Shift+L .
These are some of the examples that I found on the internet just to use as an example . 
These five pictures show us how to take two different pictures and make one out of them . People's hand's picture was taken as the first one and it shows how to cut around it and transfer it onto a different picture . In this case, we are changing the background leaving only  their hands . 







Why should we make a sketch before starting Photoshop ?

Making a sketch before starting creating it on photoshop is a very useful skill , as I think that if you are working in a big company who asked you to create a certain product and if you only give them the very final outcome , they might not quite like it and ask for something different and if you have your sketches they might be very useful . 
These are some of the digital examples , bu probably creating a handmade one will be easier , less complicated and more useful





When you are thinking about the album cover , you need to take into the account some important things , such are : genre of a band or an artist ( as colour can really tell a lot about the type of a music and whether it is something calm or if this music is more suitable for dancing in a club  ) , the second important thing is to understand if you want to put artist or artists from the band faces on it , so that it can easily be noticed by their audience . Another important thing which can only appeal to some artists is maybe their own label should be created  ( again , so that they can be more easily recognised ) .
