Adobe Photoshop is a graphic and picture editing tool. It enables the user to after, manipulate and create images either from existing photos or found images.
We used version CS2, which provides us with a set of tools such as Rectangular marquee tool, Move tool, Lasso tool, Crop tool, Slice tool, Brush tool, Clone stamp tool etc. The clone stamp tool allowed us to take certin elments of one photo, copy that element and moulde it on another photo. This enabled us to add depth to a photo we have already discovered, and visualise it in a completly different way. The spot healing tool allowed us to neaten up are photo, but failry subtle clearence, withouth seeming too fake. This is a useful tool to perfect, for example, a facbook profile picture of you not looking spotty.The dodge tool is applied if you need to brighten up an area of your photo, or simply just make it white.
I found the most effective tool we used for my photos was the clone stamp. I say this because i liked the transportation of how my orginal image looked to what it looks like now.

basic skills, camera work and composition
Composition:
Photography brings a visual language that is universal in understanding. We must then understand its vocabulary which consists of shapes, textures, patterns, lines, colours, shade of light to dark and sharp to blurry images. Just as we must learn to arrange words in a coherent order in order to make sense when we write or speak, so too must we put visual elements together in an organized manner if our photographs are to convey their meaning clearly and vividly.
Composition means arrangement: the orderly putting together of parts to make a unified whole; composition through a personal, intuitive act. However, there are basic principles that govern the way visual elements behave and interact when you combine them inside the four borders of a photograph. Once we have sharpened our vision and grasped these basic ideas of principles, then we will have the potential for making our photographs more exciting and effective than ever before.
The rule of thirds is one of the most popular rules in photography. Most popular amongst artists.
