Photoshop

I used two different versions of Photoshop; Photoshop CS4 and Adobe Photoshop 7.0. This is because the school system had Photoshop CS4, while at home, I had Adobe Photoshop 7.0. Sometimes they were incompatible, but all the layers remained the same in both versions, so it was easy to open the same document, in both Photoshop versions. The program that I used throughout my design and of the product was Photoshop, an image manipulation program. I had never before used Photoshop, so it was a whole new experience to me. I spent a few hours familiarizing myself with the system, but my Photoshop knowledge improved overtime.

I had to use Photoshop to create the layout, structure and input the text into the magazine. I also had to use Photoshop for image manipulation and editing the images. I had to learn all the basics before I could start production. I found using Photoshop very useful because it has a lot of functions that allows you to manipulate and edit photos to a high standard.
