2. What is Photoshop?
[From Wikipedia.org]
Adobe Photoshop is a graphics editing program developed and published by Adobe Systems.
File format
Photoshop files have default file extension as .PSD, which stands for "Photoshop Document.
The .PSD file format can be exported to and from Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Premiere Pro, and After Effects, to make professional standard DVDs and provide non-linear editing and special effects services, such as backgrounds, textures, and so on, for television, film, and the web.

6. Photoshop toolbox

Tools
Upon loading Photoshop, a sidebar with a variety of tools with multiple image-editing functions appears to the left of the screen. These tools typically fall under the categories of cropping and slicing; drawing; painting; measuring and navigation; selection; typing; and retouching.[24] Some tools contain a small triangle in the bottom right of the toolbox icon. These can be expanded to reveal similar tools.
Cropping and Slicing
The crop tool can be used to select a particular area of an image and discard the portions outside of the chosen section. This tool assists in creating a focus point on an image and excluding unnecessary or excess space.
*Show Example: CROP
The "slice" and slice select tools, like the crop tool, are used in isolating parts of images. The slice tool can be used to divide an image into different sections, and these separate parts can be used as pieces of a web page design once HTML and CSS are applied.[27] The slice select tool allows sliced sections of an image to be adjusted and shifted.[27]
Drawing
Photoshop includes a few versions of the pen tool. The pen tool creates precise paths that can be manipulated using anchor points.[24] The freeform pen tool allows the user to draw paths freehand, and with the magnetic pen tool, the drawn path attaches closely to outlines of objects in an image, which is useful for isolating them from a background.[28]
Measuring and Navigation
The eyedropper tool selects a color from an area of the image that is clicked, and samples it for future use.[24] The hand tool navigates an image by moving it in any direction, and the zoom tool enlarges the part of an image that is clicked on, allowing for a closer view.[24]
Selection
*Show Example: EYEDROP
The marquee tool can make selections that are single row, single column, rectangular and elliptical.[24] Once an area of an image is highlighted, the move tool can be used to manually relocate the selected piece to anywhere on the canvas.[24] The lasso tool is similar to the marquee tool, however, the user can make a custom selection by drawing it freehand. In addition, the lasso tool can make magnetic and polygonal selections.[24]
Typing
*Show Example: MAGNETIC LASSO
Photoshop also provides tools for adding and editing text. The type tools create an area where text can be entered, and the type mask tools create a selection area that has the shape of text.[24] The type tool creates vector-based text, so symbols, letters and numbers in various fonts and colors can be re-sized while maintaining the same resolution.[29]
Retouching
There are several tools that are used for retouching, manipulating and adjusting photos, such as the clone stamp, eraser, burn, dodge, smudge and blur tools.[24] The clone stamp tool samples a selected portion of an image, and duplicates it over another area using a brush that can be adjusted in size, flow and opacity.[24] The smudge tool, when dragged across part of an image, stretches and smudges pixels as if they are real paint, and the blur tool softens portions of an image by lowering the amount of detail within the adjusted area.[30] The eraser tool removes pixels from an image, and the magic eraser tool selects areas of solid color and erases them.[24] The burn and dodge tools, which are derived from traditional methods of adjusting the exposure on printed photos, have opposite effects; the burn tool darkens selected areas, and the dodge tool lightens them.
