Description
Some of the latest features in this new release of Photoshop include:
Smart Filters
Add, adjust, and remove filters from an image without having to
resave the image or start over to preserve quality. Nondestructive
Smart Filters allow you to visualize changes without altering original
pixel data.
Quick Selection and Refine Edge tools
Make selections in a snap. Loosely draw on an image area, and the
Quick Selection tool automatically completes the selection for you.
Then fine-tune your selections with the Refine Edge tool.
Advanced compositing
Create more accurate composites by automatically aligning multiple
Photoshop layers or images based on similar content. The Auto-align
Layers command quickly analyzes details and moves, rotates, or warps
layers to align them perfectly, and the Auto-blend Layers command
blends the color and shading to create a smooth, editable result.
Streamlined interface and palette management
Maximize screen space for editing while keeping essential tools
accessible. Palettes are now arranged in convenient, self-adjusting
docks that can be widened to full size or narrowed to icons or even a
thin, self-revealing strip at the edge of your monitor.
Better raw image processing
Process raw images with increased speed and superior conversion
quality using the Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in, which now adds
support for JPEG and TIFF formats; new tools including Fill Light and
Dust Busting; compatibility with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom™ software; and support for over 150 camera models.
Faster, more flexible asset management with Adobe Bridge CS3
Organize and manage images more efficiently with Adobe Bridge CS3,
which now delivers improved performance, a Filter panel for easier
searching, the ability to group multiple images under a single
thumbnail, the Loupe tool, offline image browsing, and more.
Enhanced Vanishing Point
Take perspective-based editing to a new level with the enhanced
Vanishing Point, which lets you create multiple planes in an image,
connect them at any angle, and then wrap graphics, text, and images
around them to create packaging mock-ups and more.
Enhanced 32-bit high dynamic range (HDR) support
Create and edit 32-bit images and combine multiple exposures into a
single, 32-bit image that preserves the full range of a scene — from
the deepest shadows to the brightest highlights. New image processing
and alignment algorithms deliver superior results.
Peak performance
Experience native performance on Intel® and PowerPC® based Macs and Microsoft® Windows® XP and Windows Vista™ systems.
Black-and-white conversion
Easily convert color images to rich black-and-white and adjust tonal
values and tints with a new tool. Experiment with the included
black-and-white presets, or create and save your own custom presets to
achieve the best results.
