Photoshop has also excelled as a color separation tool for prepress and photochromy jobs. Cartoonists and Illustrators find the possibility of using pressure sensitive tablets with Photoshop a huge asset. Architects use Photoshop to embellish their perspective drawings.

This section is a guide to different art and design resources, such as books, software, fonts, clipart and tutorials to help you to build a creative way of thinking and working.
