Description

Photoshop has always been as much a creative program as it has been a production tool. While it is mostly used for photo retouching and printing, there exists a myriad of artistic tools readily available to be implimented. With the new brush sets and capabilities there are endless drawing and painting potentials that can be explored. Many new tools such as the 3D Module can be integrated into the creative process. Mixing and combining Modes along with exploring pattern and brush creation in both abstract and realistic forms offer the user more possiblities.
