ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS5

 

With Adobe’s release of Photoshop CS5, it’s not hard to see why it beats all competition and is still considered the industry-standard as far as graphic editing is concerned. Whether you are a newbie, or a pro at editing, this software certainly delivers.

ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS5 FEATURES:

* Extraordinary painting effects:  Achieve natural and realistic painting effects with the Mixer Brush, which offers on-canvas color blending; Bristle Tips, which let you create lifelike, textured brush strokes; an onscreen color picker; and more.

* Content-Aware Fill:  Remove any image detail or object and watch as Content-Aware Fill magically fills in the space left behind. This breakthrough technology matches lighting, tone, and noise so it looks as if the removed content never existed.

* Complex selections made easy: Easily select intricate image elements, such as hair, for refinements, compositing, or placing in layout. Eliminate background color around selection edges, and automatically vary selection edges and perfect masks using new refinement tools.

* Superior HDR imaging: Create photo-realistic or surreal HDR images with unprecedented speed, control, and accuracy. Get better-than-ever results thanks to automatic ghost removal and greater control with tone mapping and adjustments, and even give single-exposure photos the look of HDR.

* Efficient workflow:  Enjoy productivity and creativity boosts thanks to dozens of features and enhancements requested by Photoshop users. Straighten images automatically, choose colors from an onscreen color picker, adjust the opacity of many layers at once, and more.

* 3D extrusions with Adobe Repoussé:  Create 3D logos and artwork from any text layer, selection, path, or layer mask with Adobe Repoussé technology. Twist, rotate, extrude, bevel, and inflate your designs.

* State-of-the-art raw image processing:  Use the Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 6 plug-in to nondestructively remove image noise while preserving color and detail; add grain to make digital photos look more organic; enjoy more control when performing post-crop vignetting; and more.

* Enhanced 3D realism and rich materials:  Enhance 3D objects and designs with easy shadow creation, image-based lights, and materials like glass and chrome. Explore with different focus points in your 3D scene by adjusting the range for depth of field.

* Faster performance across platforms:  Speed up day-to-day imaging tasks and process very large images up to 10 times faster by taking advantage of cross-platform 64-bit support. (Requires a 64-bit-capable computer with a 64-bit version of Mac OS, Microsoft® Windows® 7, or Windows Vista®. Actual performance varies depending on amount of RAM, driver types, and other factors.)

New features of Photoshop CS5:

1. Puppet tool - It allows you to create a skeleton kind of shape by assigning joints on object and wrap image around it. This is being take from Adobe After Effects program.

2. Wet paint – Newer CS5 will support wet paint color mixing that looks like  actual paint mixing like we have in Corel painter software.

3. Brush Stroke effect - Besides the wet paint mixing, it promises brush stroke effect that looks almost real life, like we see on actual painting canvas.

4. Patchmatch - It includes 3 tools: re-targeting, in-painting, and reshuffling. It allows you to patch and edit photos even better than clone brush.

Pros

• The interface is as comfortable as ever.

• You can discover your full creative potential with the Fun Mixer Brush.

• The addition of Refine Mask and Content Aware features are a step up, and not to mention time-savers, compared to the  ‘heal’ and ‘patch’ tools.

• Refine edge and Smart radius tools make selections easier.

Cons

• The HDR Toning feature would have more usability if it didn’t solely work on single-layer images.

• Refine Edge dialog box lacks Undo/Redo options.

• Purchasing this program isn’t exactly easy on the pockets for many    photographers out there.
