About Photoshop Software

The market leader in commercial bitmap image manipulation, Photoshop is a professional-level image-editing application (with text and vector graphics capabilities) developed and marketed by Adobe Systems. It is used extensively by professional photographers, engineers, scientists, and film and video professionals.

Although chiefly designed to edit images for paper-based printing, Photoshop is increasingly used today to create sophisticated images for the Web, wireless devices, and other media. Recent versions of the software bundle related applications, such as Adobe ImageReady, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Adobe GoLive, Adobe LiveMotion, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Encore DVD, and Adobe Premiere.

These provide non-linear editing and special effects services, such as backgrounds and textures for television, film, and the Web. Adobe Encore DVD, a relatively new application, is used to make professional standard DVDs.

The standard file format for Photoshop is PDD or PSD. These files can be imported from, or exported to any of the applications listed above. Additionally, other bitmap image editing programs accept this format, and can import and edit layered PSD or PDD files.
