Adobe Photoshop is an image editing software developed and manufactured by Adobe
Systems Inc. Photoshop is considered one of the leaders in photo editing software. The
software allows users to manipulate, crop, resize and correct colour on digital photos. The

software is particularly popular amongst professional photographers and graphic designers.

Photoshop is specifically design to allow users to create and edit raster images in multiple
layers. These overlays or layers can support transparency and can also act as masks or filters
that can alter underlying images in the layers below them. Shadows and other effects such
as alpha composting can be applied. It is also possible to apply several colour models to
these layers–CMYK, RGB, Spot, color and Duotone and Lap Color space.

The default file extension for a work in progress is called .PSD (Photoshop Document) . A PSD
file has a maximum of 30,000 pixels for width and height and a file length limit of 2
gigabytes.
