Adobe Photoshop is an application created in 1988 for macOS and Windows to edit and create images and graphics. Photoshop allows users to create digital works of art! Almost all companies use Adobe Photoshop, which is a required skill in advertising and marketing.

Photoshop has been handy in my recent positions as a social media intern and social media manager. I have been able to edit headshots, edit action photos of athletes in action, create graphics for social media, create graphics for live stream use, and much more! It is extra helpful that so many different features are all in one application! I can't wait to further my own knowledge on the app as my career takes off!
