Is there any competitor to Photoshop?

Jeremy — Tue, 31 May 2011 09:53:07 +0000

Is there any competitor to Photoshop? Adobe have done so well with Photoshop that although there are many other great image editing programs out there, people have been blinded to only see Photoshop. Not only that, but people have become to accustomed to using Photoshop that they are afraid to use other packages and going through the education of learning the different styles and techniques of the packages.

If you are a proficiant user of Photoshop, why stop there? Try other packages and you might be quite surprised and might move onto the other packages permanently! Try it before you deny it.

Photoshop Mobile is rubbish!

Photoshop Mobile is rubbish! I’m not sure if any of you have used Photoshop mobile for the Android and iPhone but if you’re thinking about it, don’t. It si absolutely utterly rubbish and a lazy attempt on Adobe’s record. If then wated to get into mobile picture editing, then they should have done it right and and spent more time on it. They also need to embrace other services such as Flickr and not create their own online photo storage service which is pants.

If you have used it, what do you think? You can’t say I’m wrong now can you?

Photoshop CS6 will be out soon but what will be the difference?

Photoshop CS6 will be out soon but what will be the difference? I think adobe Photoshop has reached such a state that Adobe can’t really make any significant advances because it is already very good and an extremely well built package. If this is the case, what will be the next step?

I think it will have something to do with mobile image editing. smart phones and tablets are the next big thing and I think Adobe will start to invest heavily in to mobile operating systems and build robust applications for all users to use!

What do you think?

It takes years to become good at Photoshop

It takes years to become good at Photoshop. Note that I didn’t say master but said good. Photoshop is a great tool but a tough one to become a pro at. Lots of people claim to be pro’s but they have only gone through a few tutorials and claim to be ace at thh program.

There are so many advance options and features in Photohop which you have likely never heard of so don’t claim to be good at Photoshop until you actually are. When youbegin to realise you don’t know Photoshop well, that’s when you are really becoming good.

Photoshop CS6 is on the horizon

Gemma — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 08:34:32 +0000

When it comes to digital imagery and photo editing, the tool every single person uses (if you don’t get lost) is Adobe Photoshop. There are others some users use such as packages from Serif, GIMP, Corel etc. but sooner or later they all come back to Adobe Photoshop as they realise that it just makes life far more easier and simpler.

Now CS5 was just released so why am I talking about CS6? Well we all know Adobe well and they seem to be releasing a new version of Photoshop every year or so thus we can expect a new CS6 in the coming 6-10 months!

Is Adobe Photoshop the best out there?

Gemma — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 14:15:38 +0000

There are many image editing programs and software out there and choosing the best can be very difficult.

In the view of most people, Adobe Photoshop is second to none… in terms of quality however is out of the reach of most people due to its very high price tag.

So, many people give up and some remain using Microsoft paint.

But little do people know that there are many awesome alternatives that are free out there and can get you started and work very well like Photoshop.

Do a search on Google and I’m sure you’ll be very amazed…

Digital World. Digital Life

Gemma — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 16:40:13 +0000

As we are beginning to enter the digital world, we need to be up to scratch and very knowledgeable in this field otherwise, according to some people life will be tough but that’s a load of rubbish.

Why? I’ll tell you. Soon, 90%+ people in the UK will be digitalised and thus there will be a greater need for more traditional people who will be few but priceless!

I’m sure you will agree with me on this one right?

So even though it will be useful to know your Gmail from royal mail, it’s not something that’s life threatening. Many of you out there won’t agree but sooner or later we may see that need.

Photoshop is not the ONLY program to edit Photo’s

Jeremy — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 08:40:13 +0000

Many (rather most) people are under the impression that Photoshop is the only program out there that you can edit and manipulate digital photos with.

This is true in one sense only, which is that it’s probably the best image editing program out there!

There are many good pieces of software out there. Some of these are listed below:

Paint Shop Pro
Corel Draw
Serif Photoplus
Adobe Fireworks

There are a few more but these are the more popular ones. Getting used to Adobe Fireworks and Photoshop will allow you to take your image editing skills to the next level!

Most professional Images are always Photoshopped!

Gemma — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 08:38:54 +0000

Whenever you come across an image in a Magazine or Newspaper, you can be sure that once the picture was taken (which probably took hours upon hours), further hours were spent manipulating and editing it using Photoshop.

Back in the days, photos used to only take 5 mins to take and then it was simply added to a Magazine or Newspaper. Those were the days when working with photos was simple and easy.

These days, you need to do a whole degree in photo editing to even be considered and then further courses on this and that and everything photo related.

5 minutes of digitally retouching a Photo used to take 5 hours

Gemma — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 08:26:13 +0000

These days with the access to special image tools and software such as Adobe Photoshop, Fireworks, Serif Photoplus etc, it has become very easy and simple to make big changes and edits on pictures and photos which look just as real as if they never have been edited.

Back in the days, a small process in Photoshop would have taken a hundred times longer and would have only been possible by experts in the field who have decades of experience. These days, even a 5 year old will gain the same result!

Now that’s technology for you! Is that good or bad?
