Thank you! Amazing info
I might add in both of the programs I mentioned for PCs or Macs, there are infinite advanced features for both the novice and the professional. Internal plugins can be used that do amazing effects making you look like a graphics wizard in seconds. The newer versions have amazing 3D effects and animation capabilities.
Advanced professional graphics or presentations are surprisingly easy if you are creative and have an artistic flair. Anything you can think can be done in several different ways and you don't need to be proficient in either program to come up with something brilliant. I highly recommend going to YouTube to watch "how-to" videos on doing some advanced but easy techniques.
I've been using both programs almost since they first came out not even using 30% of their capabilities.
Be sure to have enough memory (RAM) for fast transitioning and raw processing. If you are dealing with 300 dpi (dots per inch) known as print quality then be sure to have a minimum of 8 GB but 16 GB+ is recommended. For those that have older machines just don't run other programs in the background and you'll be fine.
Photoshop - Photo editing and advanced retouching, artwork (all styles), logos and creative design. The newer versions include quick animation shortcuts, PDF manipulation, scanning and adding advanced effects like branding or tailoring images for your family/business. Full web design integration as well. This is used by all professionals using PCs or Macs.
ACDSee - Definitive Image Organization - Fast resizing, compression, bulk renaming/resizing, file management/sorting and many one-click enhancements that Photoshop does but easier and faster. This is best used to catalog and organize your entire image library fast plus quick resizing or rotating.
