Introduction

You can separate and work independently on different parts of the same image by using layers
even though it still appears to be one whole image. Layers allow us to edit images without
destroying them as we can undo the changes made. One of the most common tasks in Photoshop
includes improving the quality of images.

The basic steps towards better image quality:
1. Adjust contrast and brightness levels
2. Variate the color
3. Crop and trim Image Size and Canvas Size
