Photoshop

Photoshop is a wonderful but enormous program. To meet your needs, we have directions on these web pages, hold classes periodically, and can also help you individually. Photoshop is a graphics based program created with images known as raster graphics. Other graphic applications, i.e. Illustrator, Corel Draw and Freehand, create vector graphics.  Vector graphics are composed of solid lines, curves and other geometric shapes that are defined by a set of mathematical instructions.  Vector images work best for type and other shapes that require clear crisp boundaries.  Raster images work best with photographs.  Raster graphics are comprised of a raster (a grid) of small squares called pixels.  Objects in Photoshop are groups of many pixels – each of which can be a different color.  Raster images require more memory and storage than vector images.  Photoshop is a memory-hungry program.
