Photoshop makes working with graphics easy.

Adobe Photoshop is a graphic editing application. The default file type for Adobe Photoshop graphics is the Photoshop Document (PSD) file type. However, one of the most useful features of Adobe Photoshop is the ability to export graphics files into other graphic file types. For example, Photoshop Document (PSD) files may be saved for the web by exporting the image files to other file types such as JPEG, GIF or PNG formats. Once an image file has been created, the converted image may be reopened with the Adobe Photoshop application, or may be viewed or modified in other graphics editors.
