Photoshop. Software you can buy? What is it?

Question

What is Photoshop? Does it take a lot to run on a computer? Can you just buy "Photoshop" software, or do you have to buy other stuff for it.

Is it a good program?

Answer 1

Photoshop is an image editing software made by Adobe Inc. It is the industry standard for editing photographs. There are essentially two versions of Photoshop; Photoshop CS2 ($650 US) is more for professionals and people who are more experienced with photo editing, and Photoshop Elements ($90 US) is for beginners who wish to make subtle changes to their digital photos. The software is used for correcting images (Adjusting brightness, contrast, red-eye reduction, color corection, etc.) making images from scratch for the web, as well as making images for print media.

Photoshop can be run by itself on either Windows or Mac. However, you can choose to purchase additional "filters" from 3rd party developers. These filters can be applied to images to make a desired effect, such as making a specific texture.

Answer 2

Photoshop is a good program. But before you pay for a later version, download another free editing program from www.irfanview.com They keep updating the many kinds of file it will handle, so you never need to pay anything.

ooh photoshop. my computer came with the basic style but you can also purchase. If you have it..the first time you go to photoshop there should be a pop-up for a 30 dollar more advanced system. you can mess around with pictures and you can hook up digital cameras to it. Uisng photoshop you can put in text,shapes, and so much more. You can get rid of red-eye,acne,or blemishes that you send to people. It's not the world for everything on it but it's preety helpful to me =]
