Special effects

Adobe Photoshop includes a wonderful set of tools and commands to create the most stunning special effects on an image. The possibility of creating special effects is perhaps one of the most appealing features of Adobe Photoshop. Some of these effects are: 3d simulation, scanlines, lightning and lighting effects, explosions, fire, complex signatures, terrains, clouds, glass, and many others.
Photoshop has also support for pressure sensitive graphics tablets The use of these tablets can improve the effects of the paint brush, eraser, or other tools. Tablets are used worldwide by professional comic book illustrators, architects, studio artists, etc.
