Answer 1

Photoshop is an advanced post processing, and image rendering applications, which can also be used to make animation. It is used by photographers, illustrators and other artworkers alike.



Photographers which cover stories and events may prefer to use lightroom, because their images do not need heavy editing. They need to tweak thousands of images in a short period of time.



So you do photoshop has greatly evolved into an all round raster image manipulation tool, to which it has been mimicked by a number of applications, such as paint.net and GIMP, plus Paint Shop Pro, and even spin-offs like Photoshop Elements.



My big piece of advice is never overuse photoshop. A bad photo will always be a bad photo. Photoshop compliments good photography.



Also, never work on an original image. Always make any changes with a copy of an image that has been converted to a lossless format, such as TIFF or PSD.

Answer 2

Well I can do photoshop make overs, I also create web elements like the preview button how it changes color. Using photoshop with flash you can create some amazing things.



Mainly the best tip I can give is dont over do it. and don't follow rules do whaty ou want try new things out click all the buttons there is an undo function. and BACK UP YOUR WORK!

Answer 3

Photoshop is cool. Try GIMP or Gimpshop. I used them. Gimpshop is the best photoshop clone in my opinion. Look at the Wikipedia article to download it at the official site.

Answer 4

Hiya

I use it for testing the limits of my images, including the differences between film and digital.

I also use it to enhance the range of colours and rendered items.

I also love messing around and doing silly images, posting them on websites like b3ta.com

Sometimes I get some unusual requests from clients - re-work a male portait to look female (I love doing this lol)



At present I use GIMP (the free version of photoshop), but use photoshop extensively in my college resource suite.



Photo-editing tips: learn the basics, be patient and soon you will be totally addicted to it!

Answer 5

Yes



Use Adobe Photoshop CS3 & Lightroom 2



Used to use Gimp (free), Picasa (free, but basic) and Paint.net (free & ability to use layers)



Also use Nikons Capture NX for RAW processing.



Biggest tip? ALWAYS work with a copy image, never on the original, just in case you completely mess up, you'll always have the original to go back to.

Answer 6

One thing I like to do is long exposure at night and let the street lights paint my scene. The mutidirectional overlapping light is fun. but it is yellow. no white balance can fix it because nothing is white. So i use PhotoSCAPE to push up the blue curve and pull out some green to get more natural colors.



I can't say I've used it but photoSHOP seems to be for manipulations. There are many programs for retouching and editing; corrections.
