Killer Application

It’s been awhile since I started using this one of a kind graphic editing software. It has been my primary tool for trade when everytime I’m editing photos, making graphics and wallpapers. Since the day I learned how to use this application I got also hooked to art and became an addict user of it. But what is Adobe Photoshop a.k.a PS anyway? What makes this software a must to use when you are in graphic or photo editing?

If you haven’t know yet what is this application I’m talking about well, here’s a brief information about this amazing software.

Adobe Photoshop, or simply Photoshop a.k.a PS, is a graphics editor developed and published by Adobe Systems. It is the current market leader for commercial bitmap and image manipulation, and is the flagship product of Adobe Systems. It has been described as “an industry standard for graphics professionals” and was one of the early “killer application” on Macintosh

The current (10th) iteration of the program, Photoshop CS3, was released on 16 April 2007. “CS” reflects its integration with other Creative Suite products, and the number “3″ represents it as the third version released since Adobe re-branded its products under the CS umbrella. Photoshop CS3 features additions such as the ability to apply non-destructive filters, as well as new selection tools named Quick Selection and Refine Edge that make selection more streamlined. Adobe released Photoshop CS3 Extended (version that I’m currently using), which includes all the same features of Adobe Photoshop CS3 with the addition of capabilities for scientific imaging, 3D, and high end film and video users.
