What is Photoshop?
Photoshop has become 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.
Traditionally, Photoshop has been and continues to be a print industry standard. 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.
In the past few versions, Photoshop has been accompanied with ImageReady. This sub-program is specifically made to deal with web applications including slicing Web images, producing rollovers, supporting enhanced image maps, and compressing graphics files efficiently for the Web.
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 20 years of troubleshooting and advancing software. Simply, that's 20 years of learning ALL of Photoshop's wonderful characteristics. Again, it's almost impossible to learn everything, but this workshop will go over the main features and most everything else that you need to learn the countless other attributes on your own.
