1st Quarter MAPEH6 ARTS Concepts On The Use of Computer Software

Computer software is a collection of instructions that enables users to interact with computers and perform tasks. There are three main types of computer software: systems software (operating systems), programming software, and application software. Application software includes programs like Microsoft Office, Photoshop, PowerPoint, and Publisher that are used for tasks like word processing, spreadsheets, digital painting, and presentations. Digital painting software provides tools like brushes, pencils, erasers, and layers for editing and enhancing images.

ARTS: Concepts on the Use of Computer Software


COMPUTER SOFTWARE
SOFTWARE
is a collection of instructions that
enable the user to interact with a
computer, it’s hardware, or perform
tasks. Without software, most
computers would be useless.
3 TYPES OF COMPUTER SOFTWARE
Systems Software or Operating System

Programming Software

Application Software
Systems Software or Operating System
is the software used by the computer
to translate inputs from various sources
into a language which a machine
can understand. It coordinates the
different hardware components of a
computer. Example is the Microsoft.
Programming Software
is a kind of computer software
which is used exclusively by
computer programmers.
Application Software
is used to interact with a computer.
Popular examples of application software
are the Microsoft Office which includes
Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Applications
we use to connect to the internet are
internet explorer and Mozilla Firefox.
How important is computer software in making
painting today?
The first step is drawing your image. Then scan
it into your computer and finally, use a
computer program to transform your work by
cropping, editing, enhancing, lightening,
darkening, shading, adding color, layering,
styling, or just about any other editing graphic
you can think of.
To get started with digital painting, the following could be
of great help.

GIMP - a free and open-source raster graphics editor


used for image retouching and editing.
Photo Editor - an application used for editing photos.
Photoshop - turn on photos into fantastical works of art.
Crop, combine retouch and restore.
 Paint (windows) - for Laptop / desktop PC. A simple
raster graphics editor.
Inkscape - a professional quality vector graphics
software which runs on Mac OS X and Windows
desktop computers.
Here are some software tools used in digital printing.
The software above has several tools that provide all the
colors that is needed to make the coloring in your
painting easy.
1. Burn Tool - darkens the image. Just drag the tool over
the image.
2. Crop Tool - changes the size of the image. Select the
area you want to crop and press enter.
3. Eraser Tool - erases part of the image in a certain layer
by flattening the image or go through every layer to
delete the part.
4. Type Tool - puts texts in a picture.
5. Pencil Tool and Brush Tool - these tools draw or paint a
line. To change the color of the paint brush, click on the
color picker.
Application Software
These programs are created to facilitate a variety of
functions, including but not limited to:
✓ Managing information
✓ Manipulating data
✓ Constructing visuals
✓ Coordinating resources
✓ Calculating figures
ADOBE
PHOTOSHOP POWERPOINT
Commonly Used Application Software
Word Processor is a piece of application software that
allows the user to create, edit, format, and print written
documents.
Spreadsheet/Excel is a computer-based document that
displays data in a grid format and allows the user to enter
and manipulate data, and to perform accounting
functions.
Adobe Photoshop is a raster graphics editor.
PowerPoint is a presentation program, created by Robert
Gaskins and Dennis Austin. It gives you access to the
familiar tool you already know. Design, edit, view, present
or share presentations quickly.
Publisher is a desktop publishing application from
Microsoft, differing from Microsoft word in that the
emphasis is placed on page layout and design rather
than text composition and proofing.

Basic Parts of the Computer and their Function
1. The computer case is the metal and plastic box that contains
the main components of the computer, including the
motherboard, central processing unit (CPU), and power supply.
The front of the case usually has an On/Off button and one or
more optical drives.
2. The monitor works with a video card, located inside the
computer case, to display images and text on the screen. Most
monitors have control buttons that allow you to change your
monitor's display settings, and some monitors also have built-in
speakers. Newer monitors usually have LCD (liquid crystal display)
or LED (light-emitting diode) displays.
3. The keyboard is one of the main ways to communicate with a
computer. There are many different types of keyboards, but most
are very similar and allow you to accomplish the same basic
tasks.
4. The mouse is another important tool for communicating with
computers. Commonly known as a pointing device, it lets you
point to objects on the screen, click on them, and move them.
There are two main mouse types: optical and mechanical.
The optical mouse uses an electronic eye to detect movement
and is easier to clean.
The mechanical mouse uses a rolling ball to detect movement
and requires regular cleaning to work properly.
5. A printer is used to print documents, photos, and anything else
that appears on your screen. There are many types of printers,
including inkjet, laser, and photo printers. There are even all-in-
one printers, which can also scan and copy documents.
6. Speakers and headphones are output devices, which means
they send information from the computer to the user—in this case,
they allow you to hear sound and music. Depending on the
model, they may connect to the audio port or the USB port. Some
monitors also have built-in speakers.
7. Scanners a device that scans documents or captures images
from photographic prints, posters, magazine pages, and similar
sources for computer editing and display
