Photoshop

We use photos for lots of different purposes, from illustrating a document to sharing what you did on holiday with friends. Most of the photos we take can be made even more interesting and impactful with some editing. Photoshop is the most widely-known and widely-used software for editing images and can be used for both basic and very advanced editing and retouching.
