What is Adobe Photoshop? Photoshop is a Raster Image editor, which means it is best to be used for pixelated images - web graphics, social media images, professional photography, artwork, or professional mockups.

Especially during the pandemic, many schools are forced to conduct online. Due to the licensing issue, many of my graphic design course outlines were forced to change to open-source software. Surprisedly, students tended to like open-source software like GIMP or Krita more than Adobe Photoshop. History of Adobe Photoshop?
