I want to thank you guys for signing up and reviewing my blog. Today I want to discuss a few programs that I've used as tools to edit photos or create graphics. The first is Adobe Photoshop the main software I use every time I work on a project. I've used Photoshop for the last 6 or 7 versions and currently we are up to Photoshop CS5. It's the industry standard for anyone who wants to succeed as a graphic designer, this program should be part of the arsenal in your tool belt. In fact Adobe is the leading manufacturer and you can visit their site and download a 30 Day trial and get a taste for what each of their products can do. I would download one and then the other at the end of that trial. Although some of you may want to jump in and buy it I would recommend getting the Production Bundle or the Master Collection depending if your into video editing.
Adobe products are not cheap but are worth it and they offer free services, although if you just want to dabble and play with graphics and have to no interest in making this your career or just don't feel like spending so much money there is hope for you. Another freeware program exist and its called Gimp, it's part of a community of developers who constantly improve the product and allows users that have programming capabilities to help improve the product along with them.
Once you get your hands on Photoshop join National Association of Photoshop Professionals, click below and see what I mean.

Dont forget NewTek LightWave, its a very powerful tool for graphics. You can do all sort of things as creating 3d Images, to animation and more.
ReplyDeleteThanks Xevic, but that program has a steep learning curve and it's $$$ but no doubt a wonderful product.
ReplyDeleteThis blog entry was very informative. I'm interested in learning Adobe photoshop.
ReplyDeleteThx RedAnonymous, there's many ways for you to get free tutoring on Photoshop. Youtube or ehow are great starting points. Another and my favorite site is http://kelbytv.com/photoshopusertv/ In fact on my blog there is an image below the blog you commented on, click on that, but you have to pay to become a member. I'm currently a member and I think they have the best and current content, plus you get a magazine and you can pick a book or training DVD upon signing up. keep practicing thats the best way to become better.
