Photoshop Is primarily used to edit 2d images, although it does

Photoshop includes image analysis functionality, and can be used to
prepare images for use online or in-print
 IT’S EXAMPLES
LAYERS
Layers are like stacked, transparent sheets of glass on which you can paint images. You can see
through the transparent areas of a layer to the layers below. You can work on each layer
independently, experimenting to create the effect you want. Each layer remains independent
until you combine (merge) the layers.
IT’S MAINELY 2 TYPES:-
• Content layers
• Adjustment layers

FILTERS
Photoshop Filters are digital effects used to modify images and selections to create effects,
repair images, and move pixels.
• Blur filters • Distort filters
• Sketch filters • Noise filters
• Brush stroke filters • Render filters
 Selection tools
A selection isolates part of an image so you can work on that area without affecting
the rest of the image. In the Tools panel, select the Rectangular Marquee tool. Drag a
rectangular selection onto the image. The area inside the animated border represents
your selection

Text Editing

After you create a text layer, you can edit the text and apply layer commands to it. You
can insert new text, change existing text, and delete text in text layers. If any styles are
applied to a text layer, all text inherits the attributes of those styles
 APPLICATIONS OF PHOTOSHOP

magazines and posters. The software can also create website designs, logos and other
digital art.

shapes in Photoshop and placing a logo made in Adobe Illustrator. Vector graphics
like these can be scaled and edited as much as you like

PHOTOGRAPHY
With Photoshop, you can add multiple photos into the same project, but on
different layers. Then you can use layer masks to refine where each photo
appears in your final image. For creative effects, having this ability is
second to none and is what separates Photoshop from other programs .
WEB DESIGN
Photoshop is very useful in creating beautiful looking logos. It helps web
designers to experiment with color, shapes, typography. No other tool gives
