What is the
photoshop
software?

Photoshop is a software
owned by Adobe. Photoshop
as we all know is not a free
software. New versions of

this giant software are
developed every year, the

older versions become
useless. This a classic
‘capitalistic’ trap, based on
human desire to upgrade.

Who all are
dominating and

owning this
software?

Market, corporate, Tata,
Ambani, Adani, Zindal,
Mittal, Political Parties
(selective but), schools,
Universities, institutions,
TISS and many more.

What was initial
use of this
software?

‘Architects use Photoshop's 2-D and 3-D-
rendering and editing tools to create more
realistic design models for building
projects. Photoshop's editing tools allow
architects to enhance the images they
create, adding shadows and texture to make
models more realistic. Astronomers make
use of Photoshop's image enhancement
features to process photographs of space,
analyzing the images to learn more about
the stars. Animators use Photoshop's

Shiva Thorat

multilayered rendering system to create
complex characters and backgrounds. They
can also use the program to edit
backgrounds and create animations from
still images.

Forensics technicians commonly use
Photoshop to process the vast amounts of
photographic evidence that come from
crime-scene photos. Photoshop allows
technicians to process fingerprints and
enhance images of crime scenes. Photoshop
plays a prominent role in web design,
helping site designers to create the
backgrounds, text, site buttons and 3-D
artwork for modern web sites. Designers
can also use Photoshop to enhance photos
and images for use on websites.
Photoshop's image-analysis and
measurement features help physicians
analyze medical images, allowing doctors to
better understand their patients' conditions
and communicate about them more
effectively’1.
