Do journalists need Photoshop skills?



Do journalists need Photoshop skills?

A couple of weeks ago I was sat at my desk trying to produce a front cover for a magazine that I'm making for my final year degree project. The first thing I wanted to do was source an image for the cover, and subsequently get rid of its background so that the person was merely a figure in the middle of the page. I soon realised that this wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be, and after an hour or so playing around with the 'Instant Alpha' tool on my MacBook, I wanted to know if there was a quicker way – and one that didn't require forking out for the latest version of Adobe Photoshop with money I just don't have.
