FEATURES OF ADOBE PHOTOSHOP
Adobe Photoshop provides various features, some of which are discussed below.
Selection: This feature allows us to select a specific part of an image where we want to make
changes.
Layering: This feature allows us to work on different parts of an image which can then be put
together for a dramatic finish.
Alteration: This feature allows us to enlarge or reduce the size of an image as per requirement.
Cropping: This feature allows us to remove an unwanted part of an image.
Selective Colour Change: This feature allows us to change the colour of certain parts of an
image while the rest of the image retains the original colour.
Slicing: This feature allows us to divide the whole image into different parts.
Artificial Intelligence-assisted upscale: This feature preserves the important details and
textures without distortions while the image is resized.
Quickly share your documents: This feature allows you to share documents you have created
directly from Photoshop. If you are sharing a document by email, Photoshop sends out the
original document (.PSD file).
The default format for Photoshop files is .PSD and for large images .PSB format is used. PSD stands
for Photoshop Document and PSB stands for Photoshop Big.
Photoshop also allows us to save files in other formats such as .JPEG, .GIF, .PNG, .TIFF, .EPS,
PDF, etc.
