Adobe was founded in December 1982 and in 1989 introduced Adobe Photoshop which quickly became its main product and the industry standard for graphics professionals. Their line of products has continued to progress and in September, 2008, Photoshop CS4 (Creative Suite) was released. This new release features many additions which are beyond my current understanding. I hope to explore and report on some of these possibilities such as the ability to paint directly on 3D models, wrap 2D images around 3D shapes, add depth to layers and text, and more.
The current Photoshop family contains four products:
- Photoshop Elements 7.0 for Windows \ Photoshop Elements 7.0 for Macintosh
- Photoshop Express beta
- Photoshop Lightroom 2
- Photoshop CS4 (x86 and x64)
Today we will look at the Photoshop Elements 7.0 for Windows, the #1 selling consumer photo-editing software. Here are a few of the positive attributes:
- With it you can organize your photos by tagging them with keywords, dates or other information.
- You can edit your photos with a number of available techniques. You can actually clean your scene of unwanted elements. You can use several group shots and create a single perfect picture where everyone is smiling.
- You can create products such as photo books
- And, you can share your photos with family and friends by ordering prints or using online offerings.
I went online to Adobe and downloaded a trial of Photoshop Elements 7.0. Look what I accomplished in just one setting. Using the layering technology, I placed my grandson in front othe the Akaka Falls in Hawaii and in this Christmas picture. Just think what we can do.
I encourage you to go to Adobe and try one of the free trial programs.
