What is Photoshop?
• Adobe Photoshop is a raster graphics editor developed and published
by Adobe Inc. for macOS and Windows.

supports masks, alpha compositing, and several color models
including RGB, CMYK, spot color, and duotone.

distributed independently of Photoshop that run inside it and offer new
or enhanced features.

Incorporated in 1988.

• TIFF stands for Tagged Image File Format. TIFF images create very large
file sizes. TIFF images are uncompressed and thus contain a lot of
detailed image data

• JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group, which created this
standard for this type of image formatting. JPEG files are images that
have been compressed to store a lot of information in a small-size file.
• GIF stands for Graphic Interchange Format. This format compresses
images but, as different from JPEG, the compression is lossless.

• PNG stands for Portable Network Graphics. It’s used almost exclusively
for web images, never for print images.

• Raw image files contain data from a digital camera (usually). The files
are called raw because they haven’t been processed and therefore can’t
be edited or printed yet.

stands for Photoshop Document, is the default format that Photoshop
uses for saving data.
