                      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.
