Abstract
This research was based on how Adobe Photoshop can be of use to design sculptors at the Margaret Trowell School of Industrial and Fine Art (MTSIFA). The purpose of the study was to find out how adobe Photoshop can be used in the designing of sculptural statues as a preliminary way to visualize the outcome of the actual work which ought to be of visual aid to the youthful talent of the MSTIFA students, it was aimed at informing and inspiring them to use their creativity for good, express themselves, and reach their full potential academically and in their future career. It would also ensure deliverance of strong financial results. People who .want to make a meaningful impact in the sculptural world were to be enlightened by information in this research. The objective of the research was to make a detailed study and document the help of Adobe Photoshop towards the execution of sculptures and how to develop its use towards software planning at MSTIFA Given the times we are in of the pandemic, alteration and improvising of tools in the field to collect data was done for example use of the electronic questionnaire, it abided by the set SOPs and got relatively the same information even if I were to use the manual delivery of this document to my intended and target population. As predetermined, challenges were bound to occur during this field study such as inconsistent data collection standards, controversial information given by the people consulted, COVID 19 pandemic and bias among the sampling population. These were overcame with improvising techniques like having preliminary information about what I was searching for before going to the field, asking a lot of people, and also asking the same question in different ways so as to tally and go by the most frequent response from my respondent. Using the findings of the research study carried out in the selected area of field study, I found out why sculptors were greatly affected in terms of creativity and performance because Adobe Photoshop isn't used to its full potential due to the lack of awareness of its capabilities.
