Computer graphics involves representation of images, photographs and original artworks in newer forms after manipulation in graphics software. In more cases, such representations would not have been possible in pre-computer days. Computer graphics may work from the very beginning, or may work on some base product, say a photograph. At the same time computers are being used to add value to products and to enhance user experience in every walk of life. Computer graphics, although a newly arrived genre, is being used widely by all. As a picture can be worth a thousand words, information in adjunct of images adds value and help comprehension.

It is the graphics software that is making all this possible. The software makes it possible to change tone, color, file format, size, aspect ratio, to add filters, flip and rotate, get information regarding image contents, etc. The software makes it possible to change pixel composition by tweaking, smudging, shading, painting or drawing lines. Original artwork like logos, icons, banners, DTP work, posters, etc can be made and seen onscreen before committing for print. Knowledge of graphics software would equip the imaginative person within you to create in actuality what you visualize. Graphics software is a great enabler that not only adds value to older products, but makes new compositions possible. The use of graphics software dispenses with buying expensive graphics art from others as one may make them themselves.
