Adobe Photoshop CC

For image editing, special effects and digital artwork.
Learning Photoshop is an essential skill for anyone working or wanting to work in graphic design. Learning Photoshop alone is not enough to become a graphic designer, but it can be used as a stepping-stone to acquiring other skills.
WHY IS PHOTOSHOP SO IMPORTANT FOR GRAPHIC DESIGNERS?

When trying to develop a design-based career, it's important to gain visual design skills along with learning specific software tools like Photoshop. While Photoshop is an important tool for graphic design, the profession requires broad visual design skills beyond simply retouching images

Graphic Designers are responsible for doing things like, combining images, apply effects, add text, or edit images to convey a message or theme. Photoshop is the perfect application for cleaning-up and adjusting an images before they are placed into a publication or integrated within other Adobe applications such as Adobe Indesign or Adobe Illustrator. 

HOW DOES PHOTOSHOP HELP GRAPHIC DESIGNERS IMPROVE THEIR ARTWORK?

Photoshop also provides all the tools necessary for creating website banners and digital banners for advertising with slicing tools for buttons and the option to create animated gifs. Photoshop's advantages, features, and methods are more numerous, which means the scope of possible designs increases. As you become more familiar with Photoshop's potentials, you will see how to refine your creations until they match industry standards.

Don’t have the perfect image? Don’t worry! You can fix flaws in an old portrait or image by using Photoshop restoration tools like clone stamps and healing brushes. This can help you get a graphic design job with more freedom to be creative.

CAN GRAPHIC DESIGNERS USE PHOTOSHOP TO ADD TEXT TO ARTWORK?

One of the most important things a graphic designer can do is combine words and images to create an impression and convey a single clear message. You will be able to add shadows, textures, and emboss. You will also be improving your pictures using tools for brightening, contrasting, and sharpening to bring out the best in a visual.

As a graphic designer, you should be familiar with any software that allows you to create vector graphics and raster images, including InDesign and Illustrator, but Photoshop is a must-have in your digital design toolkit.
