Programs: Changing the World An image-editing program, like Photoshop and Fireworks, works with bitmap images like photographs, pastel drawings or any artwork that contains soft edges. A designer can use one of these programs to change an image's tone, hue, saturation, brightness and contrast. They can be used to merge photographs together to create realistic images or wild images from the imagination. Image-editing programs come with a myriad of filters which can enable
you to change an image in interesting ways. For example, you can make
a new photo look very old or make a very old photo look brand new. You
can add drop shadows, backgrounds or textures with a few skilled clicks
of the mouse. The possibilities are seemingly endless and, if that weren't
enough, there are hundreds of companies that offer a variety of different
and interesting filters. Image-editing programs also allow you to change
an image's color mode from say, RGB
to CMYK or Grayscale
or to change an image's file format from, for example, a TIFF
to an EPS file. Tip: Affordable Graphic Design classes are available near you? Sign up for FREE information from top design schools. Some Links You May Find Useful

remember
the first time that I saw what an image-editing program could do. There
was an article in one of the graphics magazines that highlighted a photo
taken of the two leads of Miami Vice (dating myself here). The objective
of the article was to show the painstaking method of adding a firearm
and holster to Don Johnson's side. I was amazed that one could actually
add an image from another photo with such skill that it all looked very
natural. Today, this seems like child's play and, to an extent, it is.
