Photoshop also offers a sub program known as Adobe Image Ready. This program is used to create various graphics and web design purposes. When combining Image Ready and Photoshop together, you can apply effects at the drop of a hat such as texts, shadow, inner bevel and outer bevel and layering effects. Layers offer a great benefit to the graphic artist because the image’s original state can be kept in tact, while using layers on layers to manipulate it.
