Integrating Photoshop and PowerPoint
Although PowerPoint is our standard application for creating posters, Photoshop has some helpful tools for manipulating images that are far beyond the capabilities of PowerPoint. It's often necessary to crop and color correct images, or to remove specific objects from a larger image so that object can be placed in your poster. Photoshop is the best tool for completing these actions. Here a link for more Photoshop info https://my.hamilton.edu/offices/lits/rc/photoshop-cs6-basic-skills
NOTE: Photoshop can be used to create an entire poster, especially if artistic quality is the focus of the poster. However, the courses we support follow a workflow using PowerPoint to create posters; while not a typical use of PowerPoint, it has a quicker learning curve than Photoshop, or the industry standard layout software, Adobe InDesign.
