'''Zonguldak''' is a [[Provinces of Turkey|province]] along the western [[Black Sea]] coast region of [[Turkey]]. The province is 3,481 km<sup>2</sup> in size and has a population of 615,599. Its adjacent provinces are [[Duzce Province|Duzce]] to the southwest, [[Bolu Province|Bolu]] to the south, [[Karabuk Province|Karabuk]] to the southeast, and [[Bartin Province|Bartın]] to the east. The capital is [[Zonguldak]]. |
|||
'''Adobe Photoshop''' is a [[graphics editor]] (with some text and [[vector graphics]] capabilities) developed and published by [[Adobe Systems]]. It is the market leader for commercial [[bitmap]] [[image]] manipulation, and probably the most well-known piece of software produced by Adobe Systems. It is usually referred to simply as "'''Photoshop'''". Photoshop is currently available for [[Mac OS]] and [[Microsoft Windows]]; versions up to Photoshop 7 can also be used with other operating systems such as [[Linux]] using software such as [[CrossOver Office]]. Past versions of the program were ported to the [[Silicon Graphics|SGI]] [[IRIX]] platform, but official support for this port was dropped after version 3.<br clear="left" /> |

|||
Since the discovery of coal in the province, Zonguldak has become a major [[coal]] production center. |
|||
Although primarily designed to edit images for paper-based printing, Photoshop is used increasingly to produce images for the [[World Wide Web]]. Recent versions bundle a related application, [[Adobe ImageReady]], to provide a more specialized set of tools for this purpose. |
|||
Photoshop also has strong links with software for media editing, animation and authoring. It works with Adobe ImageReady, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Premiere, Adobe After Effects & Adobe Encore DVD to make professional standard DVDs, provide non-linear editing and special effects services such as backgrounds, textures and so on for television, film and the web. Photoshop's native file format (PSD or PDD) can be exported to and from [[Adobe ImageReady]], [[Adobe Illustrator|Adobe Illustrator]], [[Adobe Premiere Pro|Adobe Premiere]], [[Adobe After Effects|After Effects]] and [[Adobe Encore DVD|Adobe Encore DVD]]. Photoshop CS broadly supports making menus and buttons for DVDs. For PSD or PDD files exported as a menu or button, it only needs to have layers, nested in layer sets with a cueing format and Adobe Encore DVD reads them as buttons or menus. |
|||
PSD or PDD is a widely accepted file format. Competing bitmap image editing programs (such as [[Macromedia Fireworks]], [[Corel Photo-Paint]], [[Pixel32]], [[WinImages]], [[GIMP]], [[Jasc Paintshop Pro]] etc.) can import and edit layered PSD or PDD files. |
|||
==Sites of Interest== |
|||
Photoshop can deal with a number of different color spaces: |
|||
* [[sRGB color space]] ([[white point]]=D65) - "RGB" in photoshop |
|||
* [[Lab color space]] ([[white point]]=D50) - "Lab" in photoshop |
|||
* [[CMYK color model]] |
|||
* [[Grayscale]] |

|||
[[Image:Pscs2 cameraraw3.jpg|thumb|Camera RAW 3.x|left]] |
|||
The most recent version, [[as of 2006]], is version 9. This iteration of the program is marketed as "Photoshop CS2". "CS" reflects its integration with "[[Adobe Creative Suite|Adobe's Creative Suite]]" and a number "2" because it is the second version released since Adobe rebranded their products under the CS umbrella. In an effort to break away from previous versions of the application and to reinforce its belonging with the new line of products, Photoshop even dropped one classic graphic feature from its packaging: the Photoshop eye, which was present in different manifestations from versions 3 to 7. Photoshop CS versions now use feathers as a form of identification. |
|||
The latest version comes with ''Adobe Camera RAW'', a [[plugin]] developed by Thomas Knoll which can read several [[Camera raw|RAW]] file formats from various [[Digital camera|digital cameras]] and import them directly into Photoshop. A preliminary version of the RAW plugin was also available for Photoshop 7.0.1 as a $99 [[United states dollar|USD]] optional purchase. |

[[Image:filterfactory.png|right|thumbnail|The free Filter Factory plugin distributed on many PhotoShop CDs.]] |
|||
While Photoshop is the industry standard image editing program for professional [[raster graphics]], and practically monopolises the high-end market, its price has led to a number of [[List of bitmap graphics editors|competing graphics tools]] gaining market share in the low-end and mid-range markets; some, such as the [[GIMP]], are completely free. To compete in this market, and to counter unusually high rates of [[copyright infringement of software|piracy]] of their professional products, Adobe have introduced a low-end program called [[Photoshop Elements]], which is a cut-down Photoshop with many professional features removed, for under $100 US; this is aimed firmly at the consumer market, since the feature cuts make it unsuitable for [[prepress]] work. |

Strangely, Photoshop does not seem to natively support the many [[Image Arithmetics]] that [[Jasc Paintshop Pro|Paintshop Pro]] and some other bitmap editors do. However, this can be corrected by installing a free plugin called Filter Factory, which is distributed on all Photoshop installation CDs above version 3.0. |

===Cities=== |
||
The most important ancient cities within Zonguldak Province are Ereğli ([[Heraclea Pontica]]), Filyos ([[Teion]]) and Yukari Göynük Köyü. Other cities include [[Alapli|Alaplı]], [[Devrek]], [[Armutçuk]], [[Gülüç]] |
|||
[[Image:Photoshop Edit Example.jpg|right|thumb|200px|An example of deletion manipulation. The original is on the left.]] |
|||
The term [[photoshopping]] is a [[neologism]], meaning "editing an image", regardless of the program used (compare with [[Google (verb)|Google used as a verb]]). Adobe discourages use of the term [http://www.adobe.com/misc/trade.html#photoshop] out of fear that it will undermine the company's trademark; an alternate term which leaves out the Photoshop reference is "photochop". The term ''photoshop'' is also used as a noun referring to the altered image. This is especially popular amongst members of the websites [[Something Awful]], [[Fark.com|Fark]], [[B3ta]] and [[Worth1000]] where photoshopping is an institution. The goal of altering an image, subtly or blatantly, is to make it humorous or clever, often via the use of obscure [[in-joke]]s and [[pop culture]] references. Another widespread practice is putting the face of a [[celebrity]] onto a [[nudity|nude]] or [[pornographic]] image. [[Photoshop contest|Photoshop competitions]] in all these varieties have become a favourite pastime for many professional and amateur users of the software. |
|||
====[[Karadeniz Eregli|Ereğli]]==== |
|||
The term is sometimes used with a derogatory intent by artists to refer to images that have been retouched instead of originally produced. A common issue amongst users of all skill levels is the ability to avoid in one's work what is referred to as "the Photoshop look" (although such an issue is intrinsic to many graphics programs). |
|||
Ereğli was founded during the 6th century B.C. by the [[Mariandines]], who were the successors of the [[Frigs]]. Ereğli was an important commercial wharf (emperion), which takes its name from the famous mythic hero, Hercules (Heracles). The city preserved its importance during the [[Rome|Roman]], [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine]], [[Seljuk Turks|Seljukian]], and [[Ottoman Empire]] periods. Important historical [[ruins]] in the region include the [[Acheron Valley Ruins]], in which the [[Cehennem Ağzı Caverns]] are located, along with [[Greece|Hellenic]], Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman ruins, [[Ereğli Castle]], [[Heracles Palace]], [[Çeştepe Lighthouse]] tower, Byzantine water cisterns, [[Krispos]] mausoleum, Byzantine church, [[Hagia Sophia]] Church and [[Halil Paşa Mansion]]. |
|||
In recent times, Photoshop has been used for altering and drawing vehicles, usually cars, in a process known as 'digi-modding', 'photoshopping' or 'virtual-tuning'. About twenty websites of this sort have been established in recent years. The rate of expansion of this 'new' type of art is huge. Although the websites that provide a base for people to 'showoff' their 'chops' are fairly new, 'Photo-manipulated' cars have been in automotive magazines for years. |
|||
== |
|||
Even more recent is the so-called "sport" of [[Photoshop Tennis]]. A match in this hobby consists of two Photoshop artists passing back and forth (usually via email) a Photoshop image file. Each player will make changes to the file and send it back. After a predetermined number of turns an independent judge will review the edits made and declare a winner. This allows artists to both showcase and hone their Photoshop skills. |
|||
== |
|||
== ====[[Filyos]]==== |
|||
Another ancient city, was known as Teion (or Tion) in antiquity. Ruins within its region show signs of the Roman, Byzantine and [[Genoa]]n periods. The ancient port, castle, aqueducts, open-air theater and church ruins are from these periods. Filyos.Net (www.filyos.net) is an invaluable website to get information about the town. == == == |
|||
In the vein of [[Photoshop Tennis]], artists also engage in [[collaborations]]. This hobby consists of two Photoshop artists passing back and forth (usually via email) a Photoshop image file (.psd). Each artist adds elements to the composition, working with the other to create an image. There is not usually an element of competition involved with such an activity. |
|||
==Development== |
|||
The brothers [[Thomas Knoll]] and [[John Knoll]] began development on Photoshop in [[1987]]. Version 1 was released by Adobe in [[1990]]. The program was intended from the start as a tool for manipulating images that were digitized by a [[scanner (computing)|scanner]], which was a rare and expensive device in those days. |

There are many other bitmap-graphics editors available, but none have come close to Photoshop's popularity among professionals. The most popular competitors in other markets are the [[open source]] [[GIMP]], which has a large and vocal following, and the commercial packages [[Macromedia Fireworks]], [[Corel Photo-Paint]], and [[Paint Shop Pro]]. Less well-known alternatives include [[GIMPShop]] (a version of GIMP with a more Photoshop-like interface), the open source [[Paint.NET]], and the commercial [[Pixel32]], which is available on more platforms than the other commercial offerings. With the recent acquisition by Adobe of Macromedia it remains to be seen whether "[[Macromedia]]" Fireworks will remain a competing alternative product. |
