Features

Adobe Photoshop is compatible with nearly any type of image file. You can edit JPEG, GIF, BMP and other files, such as Adobe PDF files. Digital cameras can automatically import files through Photoshop or RAW camera files through the Photoshop RAW image converter.

Layers
-
Using the Layers window is the easiest way to edit and create projects. Pictures can be split up into different layers so you can edit one portion of a picture without manipulating another portion. For example, you can take the head off a person and turn it into a different layer. Then you can edit the head, move it around or replace it with a different head.
Size
-
Use the Navigation window to zoom in and see different sizes of the photo. Drag the arrow to zoom in and out quickly. Click on the triangle icon to zoom to select sizes, such as 10 percent, 20 percent, 50 percent or 100 percent. The red box shows which area of the picture is zoomed in on.
