Photoshop is an image-editing application that is used for screen-based images on computers, mobile devices and the internet, and for printed photographs, artwork or commercial production. As an industry standard it is a valuable addition to an employee’s skill set, applicable to almost every industry as companies expand their online presence. For personal use Photoshop enables you to perform basic through to more complex manipulations to your photographs - whether it’s to email to friends and family, post on social media or to print and frame.
