Photoshop is an easy way to enhance your photos from home. There are many different brands of Photoshop but each do basically the same thing.

It is a way to crop, color, add artto and many other things. Photoshop is great and easy for anyone. They come with easytutorial steps that make it possible for anyone to do it!

Photoshop

TutorialI have personally used Adobe Photoshop CS4. I believe that all Photoshop basically do the same thing, meaning you can enhance photos and make them they way you want. This one is quite amazing. One of my favorite parts was being able to use different lightening and placing a color factor on it. When taking a tour at the beginning I was amazed at what I could do. It was so easy taking me step by step. It was very easy and helped me make my photos more exciting.

A-HA+ When reading the article I was still confused about some of the actions that this program did. I wanted to know if it did layering and color reverse and “a-ha” it told me how! It gave me an incite on how to do it.

+ Another “a-ha” moment was when I realized I was sending my photos wrong. I could never get it right until again I read the article.

+ “A-ha” I can put my raw digital film as a Smart Object! It just makes it a better graphic in general.

Though I have not used this program much I do enjoy it and would recommend it to anyone and everyone. It takes you step by step through what you want to know.

Photoshop Tutorial“We find it easier to use Smart Object menu items using the context menu for a Smart Object in the Layers panel, instead of hunting for them in the Layer > Smart Objects submenu. Be sure to right-click or Ctrl-click (Mac OS X) on the layer name, not the thumbnail, or you won’t see all of the Smart Object commands.”
