IntroductionSoftware is a combination of instructions, data or programs, utilize to operate computers and perform particular tasks. In photography many editing software are used in order to upgrade the standard and quality of an image. Editing a photograph on an editing software includes adjusting the following elements:
Example of paid softwareAdobe Photoshop is a paid editing software, used for raster image editing, graphic design and digital art. It cost is around $20.00 per month, but students and teachers are entitled to discounts. Photoshop uses multiple layers, as masks or filters, to create transparency and modify the underlying images in the layers under them. Adjustment layers can manipulate the picture’s hue and saturation, levels, contrast, curves, and color balance as well as other more advanced points of manipulation. The Crop tool is one of the most used functions in Photoshop. Photoshop offers a range of tools that allow you to edit only specific layers such as
The type tool is another component of Photoshop that allows you to add writing in your photographs. This software is suitable to create digital paintings, use for graphic design, use for web design, create GIFs and video editing. I have used Photoshop to create posters. One of them was a digital drawing, second one was a photo montage and the last one consisted in laying a hand made painting and some digital photograph together alongside a written quote. My experience was amazing, even though I was unfamiliar with the functions of this software, with some guidance I came up with quality work and that was because of the sophisticated and varied editing components that Photoshop owns. Example of free softwareGIMP is a free editing software and it includes a professional quality functions which allows you to produce your own creative art work starting from scratch. It contains layers, highly customizable brushes, filters and automatic image-enhancement tools, and support for a huge number of plugins (new functions). GIMP comes with impressive selection and montage features including; cropping, colour adjustment, noise reduction, gradients, layer masks, filters and an animation package. ConclusionAt the end, I would like to give my opinion about the difference between paid and free software. I think there are not major differences, apart the price, because even paid or non paid applications provide, almost, the same amount and the same standard of editing features, like the example shown above. Therefore, I think software such as Photoshop are overrated.
