Photoshop is an application made by Adobe for creating, manipulating and editing image files. When you work on a document in Photoshop, it is saved as a PSD file, which lets you edit various components of the image before exporting it to a different format, such as a JPG that appears on a website. If you have a document saved in Adobe's Portable Document Format, or PDF, you might want to convert it into an Adobe PSD file so you can manipulate it as a graphic image.
