Creating Better Images With Photo Editing Software

Photo editing software allows you to edit images on your computer. You may have images you want to upload to a website, make the images a little smaller and create a series of thumbnails, linked to larger images. This can be done with image editing software.

The leading editing software is Adobe Photoshop. There is a full featured version, where you can edit, manipulate, add special effects and text to images on your computer. You can even create a photo gallery inside Photoshop and then upload it to a website.

There is also a cut down version, Photoshop Elements with only the most basic features. There are many new digital cameras come bundled with Photoshop Elements. Many people do not use the advanced features of the more expensive full version of Adobe Photoshop, so the basic features of the much cheaper Adobe Photoshop Elements may be a good starting point for editing images on your computer.

Once you realise you need more advanced features, you can purchase the full version of Photoshop. Before purchasing, you may look at downloading the try out version of this industry standard photo editing software.

One tip, before you start manipulating any image, create a copy of the image, and then work on the copy of the image. This will ensure you will never lose the original image.

If you need tips and tutorials to use the software, go to the Adobe site and look for the software tutorials. For example, for Photoshop Elements, you can look for the search engine up the top of the web page on the site and enter Photoshop Elements and you will be taken to the page promoting the software.

There, you will see links to training and support. On this page you can even download a free tryout version of the software. So, if you want to find out more about the software before you buy, you can try it out on your computer.

Once you master Photoshop Elements, you may realise this image editing software is rather limiting in its abilities and now require the full featured Photoshop. This is the time to go back to the Adobe site and download the try out version of the full version of Adobe Photoshop photo editing software.
