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. Industrial designers and 3d artists can correct and enhance their 3d rendering. Pixel perfect images are created by icon and web designers.

Separating a Drawing From Its Background
