Abstract

The article focuses on the use of computer technologies by specialists in the field of ecology and ecological landscape design of territories. It has been proven that the possession of a variety of programs allows such specialists to perform professional tasks more effectively. The skills of using graphic editors open up wide opportunities for environmentalists and landscape designers to innovate and create environmental projects, which is important for the development of professional competencies. We have established that the development of digital skills and mastery of programs is also an integral part of modern education, which ensures competitiveness in the labor market and contributes to personal and professional growth. The importance of owning computer programs of ecodesign specialists who create harmonious and functional spaces, improve the quality of life of people, take into account environmental aspects, contributing to the conservation of biodiversity and the creation of green areas in cities has been proven; design parks, gardens and other public spaces that promote recreation and socialization of people, create unique landscapes that reflect the individuality and style of owners of private plots. It has been researched that Adobe Photoshop is one of the most powerful graphic editors for environmentalists and landscape designers, as it allows you to create realistic visualizations of projects, which helps consumers of information to better understand the concept. It has been established that with this application it is possible to edit photos of plots, adding landscaping elements, changing colors and textures, as well as creating collages. Photoshop allows you to visualize what an eco-friendly space will look like at different times of the year and at different times of the day, which helps customers make informed choices. In addition, you can use the program to create detailed landscaping plans, layouts for presentations and portfolios, as well as add text explanations and annotations to images. All this allows the environmentalist and landscape designer to create spectacular visualizations that favorably distinguish their work from competitors and help attract new customers.
