What is Photoshop and how to get it?
Photoshop, in a nutshell, is Adobe's photo-editing, image-creation, and graphic design programme.
Photoshop has editing tools for both pixel-based pictures and vector drawings. It employs a layer-based editing scheme. Layers can be used to change the underlying colours by acting as masks or filters. Shadows and other effects can be applied to the layers. To decrease the need for repetitive chores, Photoshop contains automation tools called Actions.
If you use Photoshop, you either have a Creative Cloud membership and receive all of the amazing upgrades, or you purchased it separately. The best thing is that Adobe offers a free 7-day trial of Photoshop before you commit to a membership.

To crop an image in Photoshop, follow the instructions below. From the toolbox, select the crop tool. Click the drop-down menu to select your preferred aspect ratio. Unconstrained, Original Ratio, or any of the Preset choices are available. In addition, you may input your chosen proportions in the text boxes beneath the option. Drag the photo's corners or edges to obtain the desired crop. To finalise the crop, press Enter or click the check symbol.
