To be a competing graphics editing software, designers can work with many colour forms to bring out perfect design suited to mood and need. A few to mention Photoshop’s efficiency are RGB colour model, Lab colour model, CMYK colour model, Greyscale and Duotone. The most commonly used colour form for web designing in Photoshop is the RGB colour model. The colour combinations of RGB colour models have no problem in viewing the colours on the web. The second option, Lab colour, has possibilities of using colours that do not exist in the real world and it has more colour options than RGB colour. It also has more colour ranges beyond RGB colour form. CMYK brings out absolute resolution of coloured images while printing. The Photoshop designed brochure or any printing material comes out perfect when this colour model is used.
Another vital reason for Photoshop being the King of image editing software other than handling colour forms is the variety of tools options available to transform thought into action. The tools are very efficient as they allow you to play with colours, images, layers and text. The effective use of rectangular and elliptical marquee tools would help you to achieve the required effects with shapes. Brush, Colour replacement, Paint Bucket, Magic Wand and Gradient tools will help you to have control over colours. For removing or editing the images, colours and shapes, Photoshop provides you with three types of eraser tools and a crop tool.
