Crime is the biggest problem to humanity as the graph of crime is growing with time. To fight against this monster and to retain peace and humanity on this planet, the governments of different countries are putting all their efforts to try and combat this injustice. Crime cannot be stopped only by manual efforts from all police departments of different countries but police departments must also take technological support.

The various new technologies are also introduced to uncover the hidden facts behind any crime and thus doing justice by saving the life of innocent and punishing the guilty. These new technologies involve the major use of animation and image editing software. In this animation and image editing software, Photoshop plays a major role. These technologies not only help police department in their investigation but also benefits their users in almost all industries.

Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) focuses on forensic tools and technology. What we see in these tools and technology are great graphics, excellent photo shots, and a single picture in different look etc. And what we don't see is how these graphics are brought to life, how a single picture can be presented in different shapes etc. Most likely Photoshop is used to create many of these interesting clips. Adobe Photoshop provides a number of tools and plug-ins to work with images, giving them the desired effects, shape and sizes for forensic pathologists to work with.

Adobe Photoshop is user friendly software that anyone having some creativity and little experience can put their imagination and creativity to life to achieve their goals. Graphic experts have made it possible to give new dimensions to the technology of image editing, effects and animation.

For example if you have seen one the ?CSI's? episode on TV, whereby they bring the forensic evidence to life like DNA testing or an autopsy report. So that it can be understood by viewers like us, to understand how they create something as complex as DNA, but also make it simple with graphics, multimedia and image effects for us to vision and to interpret. It takes plenty of expert resources and talents to bring a show to life and to give us the type of illusion and imagery they are looking to portray.

Another good example of this is an episode of ?Number's? where they take the face of hundreds of men and add different algorithms like demographics, race (mug shots) and age to narrow their search down to a few potential suspects. Or they can take a colored picture and present it with different colors and change the background color and present it with a different number of colors to age a person for solving cold cases or missing and exploited children.

Technology like DNA has opened the door to creations of jobs that are available in the field of forensics. Graphic Experts in the field of Photoshop and Photoshop Design which has emerged as a career oriented course in most Colleges and Universities. So the next time you think that you are not cut out for CSI think again, and look at the number of opportunities behind the scenes in graphics, effects and animation.

It could be concluded that Photoshop has helped police departments, crime reporters, secret agents and other government or private agencies to enhance their performance in forensic science.
