In this blog i will be talking and describing two different types of software which can be used to create and edit graphics. There are a lot of software packages out there that can be used to edit or manipulate images a few examples of these are listed below.
- Paint
- Photoshop
- Gimp
- Illustrator
- Sumopaint
Now i am going to be discussing photoshop. Photoshop was created by adobe in 2003 it was design to meet the requirements of photo manipulation. It has got hundreds of ways to manipulate images from colouring certain parts of the image to warping and distortion and hue and saturation adjusting the is near a limitless end of ways you can edit or change images Photoshop is a very good software package but it is not 100% perfect. Some of the best tools in Photo shop are the Magic wand tool which allos you to pick a certain colour and it will remove all of that colour in that area for example removing a white background from an image. Another tool that photoshop has that no other has is the magnetic lasso tool which automatically dectects that you are trying to cut out an object in an image and then helps you by sticking to the outside of it for you. The advantages of using photoshop are that it comes with instruction and instruction videos to show you how to use it. another advantages is that there so many ways of editing images you will never run out of different ways. However this software package also has its limitations one disadvantage of using this software is that there are so many updates for it and there are also add on packages and to acquire all of these packages would cost up to £30,000. Another disadvantage is that photo shop cannon create vector images.Here is a link to a video that give you an example of what Photoshop looks like and also give a walkthrought of what photoshop cs5 is like: http://youtu.be/F8WZjdEtkIg
Now i am going to be discussing Sumopaint. Sumo paint was created in 2007 and it uses similar characteristics to adobe photoshop but it uses a different structure and all the icons are different it is relatively easy to use and also has a large number of ways of editing and manipulating images it varies from desaturate to treshholds sump pain is very good image manipulation site as it is very similar to photoshop and it is free but how ever it is not 100 percent perfect its has its flaws as well there are a few tools missing like distortion and the magic wand tool but there is more graphic tools like shapes and shape tools. Sumo paint has got some intresting tools that can really make it stand out like in filters and distort the is a kaleidoscope and this tool changes the whole image and givesit and different appearence and i think it is a brilliant tool. Another toolthet sump paint has is the symmetry tool its is a brilliant little tool that can be used to make nice designs and easy shapes. this software package as some advantages and it has its limitations as well some advantages of sumo paint are that it is free for every one to use another advantage is that you can buy and download the professional package and then you can have the full running program on your computer. Another advantage of sumo paint is it comes wit its very own store where you can buy blank and painted canvases of images that other creators have made. However this software package also has its limitations one disadvantage of using this software is that if you don't have an Internet connection where you live you will not be able to access it and you would have to pay and download the full version somewhere else just to be able to use it.
