Writer: PRINCE AGYEI KISSIEDUPRINCE AGYEI KISSIEDU

Adobe Photoshop is a software application for image editing and photo retouching for use on Windows or MacOS computers. Photoshop offers users the ability to create, enhance, or otherwise edit images, artwork, and illustrations. Changing backgrounds, simulating a real-life painting, or creating an alternative view of the universe are all possible with Adobe Photoshop. It is the most widely used software tool for photo editing, image manipulation, and retouching for numerous image and video file formats. The tools within Photoshop make it possible to edit both individual images as well as large batches of photos. There are several versions of Photoshop, including Photoshop CC, Photoshop Elements, and Photoshop Lightroom. Adobe Photoshop is available on its own as a subscription that includes Photoshop Lightroom, and as part of the larger Creative Cloud subscription.



Adobe Photoshop is a critical tool for designers, web developers, graphic artists, photographers, and creative professionals. It is widely used for image editing, retouching, creating image compositions, website mockups, and adding affects. Digital or scanned images can be edited for use online or in-print. Website layouts can be created within Photoshop; their designs can be finalized before developers move on to the coding stage. Stand-alone graphics can be created and exported for use within other programs.


STEPS BY STEP


1. Select the Pen tool from the toolbox and then click "Paths" from the action bar.

2. Click anywhere on the outline of the object that you want to cut out to set the starting point.

3. Trace the outline of the object with the Pen tool. This is done using a series of points called "nodes." Every time you click on the outline of the object, a new node is created. These are connected to the previous node. Click and release the mouse button to create a straight line between two nodes, or click and drag the new point to curve the line.



4. Right-click anywhere on the image and then click "Make Selection" and click "OK."

5. Click "Edit" on the Menu Bar and then click "Copy" once the entire object has been selected.

6. Click "Edit" from the Menu Bar and then click "Paste." This places the object that you have cut out on the new canvas. Double-click the Background Layer on the Layers palette and then click "OK." Right-click the background layer and then click "Delete."
