Adobe Photoshop 7 is an older version of the Adobe photo-editing program line-up. It is used in image editing and enhancing, as well as creating original images. The program can take out red-eye, alter color levels, change lighting, and change shadows. Adobe Photoshop is one of the most popular tools used in graphic design and development. Competing with Adobe Photoshop are such programs as Paint Shop Pro (JASC) and GIMP (open-source freeware).

This photo-editing application has a wide range of abilities and unique tools and filters. Some of the tools featured in this program include the clone tool, the magic wand, and the crop tool. The clone tool can be used to keep the same texture and copy the background of one area of a photo to another. The magic wand allows you to select an area of the image to move it, remove it, or change it in any place. The crop tool allows you to cut out pieces of the picture and change the canvas size.

Adobe Photoshop 7 can be used to change the pixel resolution of an image, the image size itself, and the canvas size. Other functions of Adobe Photoshop are to colorize an image in any shade, make an image black and white, invert the colors, and pixilated certain parts. Adobe Photoshop also uses layers, which can be very helpful in reverting back to a previous stage.

Photoshop has the function to open a myriad of different image types as well as save images as different types. Photoshop has its own file type (.psd) which is a type of file that includes layers. The Photoshop file type is usually larger than other image file types such as GIF and JPEG, and the file type can only be viewed when running Photoshop.

Adobe Photoshop has become a universal tool and is a stand-alone application that can run on many operating systems such as Windows, Mac, and Linux. It is used in many classroom environments such as digital imaging and digital photo. Modeling companies also use the program to make the models appear slimmer or taller.
