As most Designers and Graphic Artists already know, Adobe Photoshop is a graphics editing program developed and published by Adobe Systems, which offers numerous software packages containing multiple Adobe programs for 3D image creation, motion graphics editing, and advanced image editing.
Due to Photoshop’s popularity, PSD files are widely used and supported to some extent by most competing software application programs. 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.

The primary strength of Photoshop is one of a pixel-based image editor, unlike vector-based image editors. However, Photoshop also enables the creation, incorporation, and manipulation of vector graphics through its Paths, Pen tools, Shape tools, Shape Layers, Type tools, Import command, and Smart object functions.
These tools and commands are convenient when you want to combine pixel-based and vector-based images in one Photoshop document, because you may not have to use more than one program. Photoshop functionality can be extended by add-on programs called Photoshop plugins (or plug-ins). Adobe creates some plugins, such as Adobe Camera Raw, but third-party companies develop most plugins, according to Adobe’s specifications.
Photoshop has been a useful tool for graphic designers to create artwork conveniently and aesthetically. Before any type of print media is published, whether it is a magazine, newspaper, or even a novel- it is likely the case that Photoshop has been used to enhance and clean up the imagery on many if not all of the pages.
On March 21, 2012, Adobe released their beta version of Photoshop CS6. It adds an array of new creative design tools and a redesigned interface which every graphic Artist and Web Designer out there will relish and must possess, if they are to keep abreast of their competition and their graphic designs be pixel-perfect !
