What is Photoshop?

Photoshop is the leading digital image editing application for the Internet, print, and other new media disciplines. It is embraced by millions of graphic artists, print designers, visual communicators, and regular people like you. It’s likely that nearly every picture you’ve seen (such as posters, book covers, magazine pictures, and brochures) has either been created or edited by Photoshop. The powerful tools used to enhance and edit these pictures are also capable for use in the digital world including the infinite possibilities of the Internet.

It is almost impossible to use or even learn all of Photoshop’s tools to their maximum benefit. Photoshop has been around since 1982! That’s around 25 years of troubleshooting and advancing software. This workshop will go over the main features of the program so that you will feel confident to explore the remaining features on your own.
