Photoshop is a photo editing and modification application created by Adobe. While it includes tools for doing other things such as creating images from scratch, working with vector objects and creating buttons and other web appropriate images, its primary purpose is and always has been working with photographs. Adobe offers other programs such as Illustrator or GoLive that are designed specifically for image creation and web design. Photoshop can modify images of all shapes and sizes, changing colors and editing and combining photos. It can also create vector images and allows you to create buttons, and designs for web images or even a complete web page.

Starting Photoshop
When on campus, you will probably launch Photoshop from the Novell Application Launcher. To do this, click once on the ‘Cad and Graphics’ folder. This should display several graphic and web programs including Photoshop CS2. Click twice on the Photoshop CS2 icon.

When at home or sometimes in your office, click on the Start Menu, go to “Programs” and look under “Adobe” or “Photoshop”. There should be an option for the version of Photoshop that you have; click once. On a Macintosh, the Photoshop icon may appear on your tool menu at the bottom of the desktop, or in your Applications folder.
