10:10 Adobe AM

Photoshop is a powerful graphics editing software developed by Adobe. It is widely used by photographers, designers, and digital artists for image editing, graphic design, and digital art creation. Photoshop provides a wide range of tools and features for tasks such as photo retouching, compositing, image manipulation, and creating digital illustrations.

We will spend the first 20 minutes of Wednesday’s learning Photoshop so we can incorporate it into our workflows.
