John and Thomas's original creation was named "Display" as it was a full image editing program, however it later developed into what was called "Image-Pro" and finally into “Photoshop” (History of Photoshop: Journey from Photoshop 1.0 to Photoshop CS5).

To continue, the development of new technologies, such as computers and image editing software, has increased and redefined the nature of false advertising.

Forensic Art is a sometimes misunderstood and ignored resource for the law enforcement community. Starting with what Forensic Art is defined as, most commonly, it is perceived as any art that can or is used in law enforcement or legal proceedings. This field has several recognized skill sets most prevalent of which are demonstrative evidence, crime scene/composite sketches, image modification/ identification, and postmortem or facial reconstruction. Having a history stretching back to the 1800s forensic art has grown and improved over the course of the following years. First giving a brief history on where forensic art started and then following with some of the benefits each skill set of forensic art provides to the law enforcement community.

Photoshop can come in quite handy and it is useful when trying to perfect an image. Architects, fashion designers, web designers all use photoshop in their careers daily but there is a line and some people cross it.

Well yes it is like every other magazine except this one had its pre-photoshop cover leaked as well.

As the same way smoke packages has a warning label on the sides, Photoshop should have the same warning. These days’ people think too much, on how they look like on a picture then they did for 20 years ago. Magazines produce images of impossible beauty, as a result for that; many people suffer from poor body images, and even worse, eating disorders. They want to be skinny and look angel beautiful in just a few days. This leads to stop eating and youse a lot more time and money for makeup and to create themselves in to Barbie.
Its innovations included hierarchical drawings, constraint-satisfaction methods, and an interactive GUI. When asked, “How could you possibly have done the first interactive graphics program, the first non-procedural programming language, the first object oriented software system, all in one year?” Sutherland replied, “Well, I didn't know it was hard1.” Sketchpad's graceful interaction and functionality continue to inspire admiration among computer graphics professionals.
Nowadays, is so simple to manipulate an image even from a cell phone. It’s possible to add lights, crop images an so on. Nevertheless, image manipulation and the creation of new Images, is becoming a problem for photojournalism and media. In some situations, this software is misused, mainly when it comes to the distortion of photographs that involved controversial situations. In spite of the fact that photoshop is questioning photojournalist, there are some cases when this tool really helps to understand the context of an image and it helps to complement it.
Forensic Science, recognized as Forensics, is the solicitation of science to law to understand evidences for crime investigation. Forensic scientists are investigators that collect evidences at the crime scene and analyse it uses technology to reveal scientific evidence in a range of fields. Physical evidence are included things that can be seen, whether with the naked eye or through the use of magnification or other analytical tools. Some of this evidence is categorized as impression evidence2.In this report I’ll determine the areas of forensic science that are relevant to particular investigation and setting out in what method the forensic science procedures I have recognized that would be useful for the particular crime scene.

What do you consider art? Paintings, sculptures, drawings, or maybe something else. I know, when I think of art, I think of photography. Photography Is used for business, science, manufacturing, art, recreational purposes, mass communication, and more. Photography is using light to do amazing things, and some people think of photography as a story that just needs to be told. Ansel Adams probably believed this. He said, “You don’t take a photograph, you make it.” Photography has a long interesting history, like the fact that the word photography is made up of two greek words, photos meaning ‘light’ and graphein which is ‘to draw’ ! Photography also has some complicated techniques to get a hang of taking good photos. Have you heard of the rule of thirds? Or do you know how a camera works? Well, that will all be explained.
