Photoshop Creative Suite 6
Photoshop CS 6 is the current version of of the Adobe Creative Suite (“CS” stands for “Creative Suite” in case anyone is wondering) series. Often I find that companies I try to get a job at or colleges like ECPI University are using the current versions or at least a version close to the current version of Photoshop CS6. Coming from a Computer Information Science major I had to learn Photoshop in order to pass my graphic and web development classes. Photoshop is a powerful image editing software I have come to love over the years.
I have used it for cropping out images in a magazine and transferring those images to a website’s layout , making dark pictures lighter, and creating and coloring cartoon characters for a client or for myself. For those that already have Photoshop CS5, I understand not willing to upgrade to the current version of Photoshop CS as there are only a few differences such as a nice black interface, the ability to search layers, and some improved tweaks to some tools (like the crop tool).

I admire people who can learn Photoshop CS6 on their own but I needed some assistance to make the software less intimidating I learned to be comfortable with Photoshop in general through Photoshop Creative Suite 6 Classroom in a Book. Without that book I would be lost. Please click here for more information on the book.
