Photoshop

I never used Photoshop before and I thought it would be interesting to learn about it. Photoshop is a program that is used to modify or enhance picture of any kind. When you first run the program you see the different toolboxes that will allow you to modify your picture. After opening the program you must open a file containing a picture. If the image that you have is not straight, you click on the image tab located on the top menu and hit rotate by 180, 90, or 270 until the image is perfectly straight. You can add different textures to the picture ranging from a puzzle texture, sepia, black and white etc… you can modify the color scheme by making the picture brighter or darker, removing some of the tint which would make the picture seem greener. You do this by changing the color balance between cyan and red, magenta and green, yellow and blue. The color modification can be applied to the highlights, midtones and shadows of the picture. You can add “noise” to a picture, which is basically adding a texture that resembles the white noise of your television. A very cool feature that I found is to “liquefy” the picture. It gives a blur effect or distortion to the image. If you are unsatisfied with any changes, you can easily undo any of the changes that were made to the original picture. Another cool texture to add to a picture is embroyed, it makes it look like the image is made of sand or of a grainy texture.
