Oh man. So, Photoshop is really cool. This is the first time I've ever really used Photoshop, and I heart it. Adobe Photoshop is a photo-manipulation program that has gained widespread popularity, and a tool we see used in every day life. In class, we learned how to use basic tools in Photoshop. We learned how to remove plain backgrounds from pictures, how to make layers, how to use the brush tool and render clouds, how to crop and transform pictures, and how to create ellipses and text. It's almost hard to get used to because you have so much freedom to do whatever you want. We also learned about how Photoshop is used in today's world, in both advertising and the news media. We went over some famous photos that were altered or "photoshoped," and also looked at how some ad models were heavily changed with Photoshop. I think Photoshop is a great tool, especially for the creative or those who want to be creative. But, because of this program, we now must constantly question, "Was this photoshoped?"
As much as I like Photoshop, I'm not sure how much use the field of Psychology has for it. I think having the skills though might come in handy in certain fields of psych or certain studies. For example, if you're working with an advertising company, knowing the tools and capabilities of Photoshop may help in more successfully creating an ad. Or, if a study calls for certain types of photos, one could create their own in Photoshop, or at least know how to alter an existing one. Even though there aren't many opportunities for Photoshop to peek its head through in Psychology right now, I wouldn't be surprised if that changed in five to ten years.
