Adobe Photoshop
By Shane Stapleton onAdobe Photoshop is an extremely useful software program that allows you to edit / create images and pictures.But, some people have found different ways to use Photoshop.Like for example: A lot of website designers will make their website templates using Photoshop.Most of really cool looking websites with a bunch of different effects and twists to their design use Photoshop.
You can do so many different things with Photoshop.I'll just name a few.You can create fire, give an object a shadow and glow, make it have a chrome effect, blur a picture, change colors, and so much more.But remember, all of this does take a lot of time to learn.You can't just have Photoshop for a week and already be a pro at making things.It does take time, but if you are interested in it then I highly recommend you go ahead and learn how to use it.
I've created a good bit of images myself, but trust me I'm still not a professional at it.Here's a couple I created a while a go. Not too good, but I'm getting better =)

This is what I used to create the very first site I developed way back when it was CS - it's come a little ways from then and although a learning curve, it's worth the effort. Thanks
