What Is Photoshop
Photoshop is a raster based programmed used for image editing. Photoshop is a graphics based program created with
images known as Raster graphics.
Other graphic applications, i.e. Illustrator, Corel Draw and Freehand, create vector
Graphics. Raster images work best with photographs. Raster graphics are comprised of a raster of small squares called
pixels. Raster images require more memory and storage than vector images.
1. Image editing
2. Color Correction – to adjust the color contrast , toning , lightness, and saturation.
5. Digital Painting - is an emerging art form in which traditional painting techniques which you can create
1. Vector is a math metical defined straight lines and curves. Vector is also called as
object oriented graphic. Pixel independent
2. Raster is an tiny square pixels means pixel late. When you magnified the object it
shows the pixels.
Raster is also called as Bitmap, Paint and Image. Pixel dependent

A bitmap is a common graphics format which is used to store digital raster images. bitmap refers to an
uncompressed image stored as one bit per pixel.
Grayscale
Grayscale images have pixels that range from black to white. Because a byte is composed of 8 bits, such
images are known as 8-bit grayscale images.
Bitmap mode
uses one of two color values (black or white) to represent the pixels in an image. Images in Bitmap mode
are called bitmapped 1-bit images because they have a bit depth of 1.
Bit depth refers to the color information stored in an image. The higher the bit depth of an image, the
more colors it can store. The simplest image, a 1 bit image, can only show two colors, black and white.
That is because the 1 bit can only store one of two values, 0 (white) and 1 (black).
Lab color
Lab Color is used for many things outside the realms of photography, digital & print to specify colours
because of its accuracy
It is used widely across industries such as the automotive industry, the textile industry and more because
it has a wider colour gamut than RGB and CMYK.
the a component (green-red axis) and the b component (blue-yellow axis) can range from +127 to –128.
Lab images can be saved in Photoshop, Photoshop EPS, Large Document Format (PSB), Photoshop PDF,
Photoshop Raw, TIFF, Photoshop DCS 1.0, or Photoshop DCS 2.0 formats. You can save 48 -bit (16-bits-per-
channel) Lab images in Photoshop, Large Document Format (PSB), Photoshop PDF, Photoshop Raw, or
TIFF formats.
