What is Photoshop?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photoshop is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/glossary\/graphic-design\/raster-images\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">raster graphics<\/a> editor tool primarily used for editing and retouching photos. Part of the Adobe Creative Cloud suite of tools, Photoshop is popular among graphic designers, user interface (UI) designers, photographers, and digital artists alike.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photoshop was first developed by brothers Thomas Knoll and John Knoll in 1987. In 1988, they sold the distribution licence to Adobe Systems Incorporated, and in 1990, Adobe Photoshop was officially released. Now, Photoshop is widely considered the industry-standard tool for digital art and image manipulation.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-difference-between-photoshop-and-illustrator\">What is the difference between Photoshop and Illustrator?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/blog\/graphic-design\/what-is-adobe-illustrator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adobe Illustrator<\/a> is another tool belonging to the Adobe Creative Cloud suite. While Photoshop is mostly used for photo editing, Illustrator is used for creating scalable graphic design assets from scratch.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the main differences between the two:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<table border=\"1\" width=\"100%\" cellpadding=\"5\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>\r\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\"><strong>Adobe Photoshop:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<\/th>\r\n<th>\r\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\"><strong>Adobe Illustrator:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">Used for photo editing and digital image manipulation\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<td>\r\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">Used for creating logos, graphics, and other scalable design assets\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">A raster-based editor, which means it works with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/glossary\/graphic-design\/pixels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pixels<\/a> (which can lose quality when scaled up)<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<td>\r\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/glossary\/graphic-design\/vector-graphics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vector graphics<\/a> editor, which means that graphics retain their quality even when scaled up\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">Uses PSD, JPEG, PNG, and GIF file formats\r\n<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;<\/td>\r\n<td>\r\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\">Uses AI, EPS, PDF, and SVG file formats\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<br>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, the tools have different functions and use cases. While Photoshop offers extensive photo editing features, filters, and effects, Illustrator is geared towards drawing and vector manipulation. Illustrator is also the preferred choice when working with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/blog\/graphic-design\/what-is-typography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">typography<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"intext-cta__blog-title wp-block-heading\" id=\"is\">2. What is Photoshop used for?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adobe Photoshop is the go-to software for editing images and photos. You can use it to remove flaws and unwanted background elements, adjust the brightness, color, and contrast of your photos, composite multiple images together (i.e. combine multiple images or elements into one single composition), and apply filters and effects.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photoshop is also used for creating digital illustrations and design assets. You can use brushes, pens, and shapes to create your own drawings, and work with layers and masks for advanced compositing. Photoshop can also be used as a video editing tool.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you want to create print-ready images for posters, flyers, and product packaging, or design and optimise visual content for the web and social media, Photoshop is a versatile and powerful tool with a broad range of features and use cases.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1-7.webp\" alt=\"Overhead view of a busy graphic designer's workspace with multiple screens displaying Photoshop and other design software.\" class=\"wp-image-13152\" title=\"Overhead view of a busy graphic designer's workspace with multiple screens displaying Photoshop and other design software.\"\/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"intext-cta__blog-title wp-block-heading\" id=\"How\">3. How much does Photoshop cost?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To use Adobe Photoshop, you\u2019ll need a paid subscription. There are several pricing options available, as follows:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"disc wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Single app plan for $22.99 per month (billed annually) or $34.49 per month (billed monthly, cancel anytime) &#8211; <\/strong>This gives you access to Photoshop for desktop and iPad, plus 100 GB of cloud storage.<br><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Photography plan for $9.99 per month <\/strong>(no annual contract) &#8211; Ideal for photographers, this plan includes access to Photoshop and Lightroom (a version of Photoshop built specifically for photographers), plus 20 GB of Cloud storage.<br><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Adobe Creative Cloud all apps plan for $59.99 per month <\/strong>(annual subscription) &#8211; This gives you access to all Adobe software, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Adobe Express, and Premiere Pro.<br><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Discounted rate of $19.99 per month for students and teachers &#8211; <\/strong>This includes access to the entire Adobe Creative Cloud suite (Photoshop included).&nbsp;<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now we know what Photoshop is used for and how much it costs, let\u2019s take a closer look at all the different features and functionalities this powerful tool has to offer.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"intext-cta__blog-title wp-block-heading\" id=\"Adobe\">4. Adobe Photoshop: Key features and capabilities<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we\u2019ve established, Adobe Photoshop is primarily used for photo and image editing. Here are the main features you\u2019ll find within the tool\u2019s interface.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"disc wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Layers and masks: <\/strong>You can work with multiple layers to stack, rearrange, and blend different elements. Masks enable you to hide or reveal certain parts of a layer for non-destructive editing. Non-destructive editing means that the original content is not edited; all changes are stored separately, allowing for easy reversion to the original file.<br><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Selection tools: <\/strong>You can use the Lasso tool, Magic Wand, and Quick Selection tools to select different areas or objects within an image. This allows you to work with precision and focus.<br><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Retouching tools: <\/strong>Use the Clone Stamp, Healing Brush, and Content-Aware Fill features to remove unwanted elements and fix blemishes.<br><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Filters and adjustments: <\/strong>You can blur, sharpen, and distort images in Photoshop, as well as adjust the color, brightness, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/glossary\/interior-design\/contrast-in-interior-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contrast<\/a> to enhance image quality and style.<br><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Text and shapes: <\/strong>Add and edit text and shapes in various <a href=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/blog\/graphic-design\/ultimate-guide-to-font-types\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">font styles<\/a>, sizes, colors, and styles. You can also apply layer styles and effects like shadows, strokes, and gradients. <strong><br><\/strong><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Brushes and painting tools: <\/strong>You can use the brush tool to paint with different brush styles and colors, create artistic effects, and add unique details to your images. You can also create your own custom brushes to suit your needs. <strong><br><\/strong><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Color channels: <\/strong>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/blog\/graphic-design\/complete-guide-to-colour-palettes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">color channel palette<\/a> shows you what shades are featured in the image you\u2019re editing.<strong><br><\/strong><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Pen tool: <\/strong>If you want to draw freehand with precision and control in Photoshop, use the pen tool to create your own shapes and pathways. <strong><br><\/strong><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Hue and saturation: <\/strong>You can adapt the richness and intensity of colors in your images by adjusting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/glossary\/graphic-design\/hue\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hue<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/glossary\/graphic-design\/saturation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">saturation.<\/a> <\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Slice tool: <\/strong>The slice tool enables you to divide images into smaller sections or \u2018slices\u2019 which can be exported individually. This is useful when creating web graphics where different parts of an image need to be loaded separately. <strong><br><\/strong><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>3D capabilities: <\/strong>You can import and work with 3D objects, apply textures, and render 3D scenes directly in Photoshop. <strong><br><\/strong><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Export and sharing options: <\/strong>Once you\u2019re happy with your work, you can save and export it in a variety of formats, including PSD, JPEG, PNG, and GIF.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<a class=\"circle_anch pop_show my_pop_show1\" href=\"#consultcourseadvisors\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"453\" src=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image2-1024x453.gif\" class=\"wp-image-13153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image2-1024x453.gif 1024w, https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image2-300x133.gif 300w, https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image2-768x339.gif 768w, https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image2-1536x679.gif 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"intext-cta__blog-title wp-block-heading\" id=\"are\">5.

Next, though, let\u2019s consider some technical specifications.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"intext-cta__blog-title wp-block-heading\" id=\"Photoshop\">6. Photoshop system requirements<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adobe Photoshop is primarily a desktop software application, which means you need to download it onto your laptop or computer to use it. It\u2019s available for both Windows and MacOS operating systems. You can also download and install Photoshop on your iPad via the Apple App Store.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s also a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adobe.com\/products\/photoshop\/online.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Photoshop web app<\/a> which allows you to use Photoshop in your web browser.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"intext-cta__blog-title wp-block-heading\" id=\"to\">7. How to get started with Photoshop\u00a0<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First and foremost, you\u2019ll need access to Photoshop through a subscription. Depending on your needs, you can sign up for Photoshop only, or opt for the full Adobe Creative Cloud plan that gives you access to all tools. Either way, you can start with a 7-day free trial before you fully commit.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you\u2019ve downloaded Photoshop, you\u2019re ready to begin exploring the interface and getting to grips with Photoshop\u2019s many different features and capabilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recommend starting with the official <a href=\"https:\/\/helpx.adobe.com\/support\/photoshop.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adobe Photoshop Learn &amp; Support<\/a> page.

These tutorials offer a great hands-on introduction to all of Photoshop\u2019s main features, helping you to learn the interface and gradually build your Photoshop skills.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re learning Photoshop because you want to work in a specific field\u2014say, <a class=\"my_course_entity\" href=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/blog\/graphic-design\/what-is-graphic-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">graphic design<\/a> or <a class=\"my_course_entity\" href=\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/blog\/ui-ux-design\/what-is-ui-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">user interface (UI) design<\/a>\u2014consider a professional course.
