 What is Photoshop?
• Adobe Photoshop is a raster graphics editor developed and published
by Adobe Inc. for macOS and Windows.

• Photoshop can edit and compose raster images in multiple layers and
supports masks, alpha compositing, and several color models
including RGB, CMYK, spot color, and duotone.

• Its feature set can be expanded by plug-ins; programs developed and

distributed independently of Photoshop that run inside it and offer new
or enhanced features.
 History
• Photoshop was developed in 1987 by brothers Thomas and John
Knoll, who sold the distribution license to Adobe Systems
Incorporated in 1988.

• Thomas Knoll began writing a program to display grayscale images on

a monochrome display.

dedicated high-end systems cost around $300 an hour for basic photo
retouching.

 Extension
s
• There are 6 main formats in which to store images.

• TIFF stands for Tagged Image File Format. TIFF images create very large
file sizes. TIFF images are uncompressed and thus contain a lot of
detailed image data

• JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group, which created this
standard for this type of image formatting. JPEG files are images that
have been compressed to store a lot of information in a small-size file.
• GIF stands for Graphic Interchange Format. This format compresses
images but, as different from JPEG, the compression is lossless.

• PNG stands for Portable Network Graphics. It’s used almost exclusively
for web images, never for print images.

• Raw image files contain data from a digital camera (usually). The files
are called raw because they haven’t been processed and therefore can’t
be edited or printed yet.

• PSD file is a layered image file used in Adobe PhotoShop. PSD, which
stands for Photoshop Document, is the default format that Photoshop
uses for saving data.
