Graphics software is used to create images or manipulate existing images on a computer. Most programs consist of two basic parts – a working area and a toolbox or panel. The working area contains the image and displays the changes as they are made, while the toolbox contains a range of functions such as cropping, text input, and brush tools. Some programs also support video or animation input, or optimize images to be exported in video applications.
Image import: Choose a graphics software that imports images directly from sources other than the hard disk, such as digital cameras and memory cards. Look for one with quick import tool to speed up transfers from external sources.
File formats: Choose a graphics software that lets you save your work in a wide range of file formats. If you will use the image for web publishing, look for web-friendly formats like .jpeg and .gif. For print publications, look for large formats such as .tiff.
