In this age of information, publishing is indeed a universe unto itself. The process of creating an image for print, multimedia, video, or the Web can involve many steps that require specific tools. It is the task of the designer, image editor, desktop publisher, or computer artist to assemble the tools that best perform the necessary tasks . Photoshop does not exist in a vacuum , but works in concert with other computer programs to integrate the images, text, graphics, animations, digital video, and so forth, that compose the final publication.

Images created and edited in Photoshop integrate into all mainstream desktop-publishing, illustration, Web-authoring, and video-editing programs. Because of its capability to open and save in so many file formats, Photoshop is preferred by most design professionals as the essential image-editing software and is the mainstay in a suite of powerful publishing tools.
