Software for Digital Graphics

Photoshop

This program is developed by Adobe and is the industry standard for editing software. It's main use is for bitmap and image manipulation.

There are numerous abouts of features available to edit images from within photoshop, from light filters, to various effects. Photoshops native format is .PSD and this means that the files can easily be exported to various other adobe editing programs. Photoshop also has the ability to edit raster and vector image files. Another feature that can be used is layers. Layers allow the image to be chopped up and edited on top of other parts of the image without it all being affected.

Below is an image of something that i edited using Photoshop












Paint Shop Pro

Paint Shop Pro is a raster graphics editor developed by corel. This program supports both raster and vector image types. PSP is largly used by people for home use because of the price, as opposed to photoshop that costs several hundred pound. The price difference is seen in the features when you see there is much less available to the user than in photoshop. Despite this, you can easily find 3rd party plugins that allow users to download photoshop features and use them inside paint shop pro
