ADOBE PHOTOSHOP

INTRODUCTION
 Adobe Photoshop, or simply Photoshop, is a
graphics editing program developed and published
by Adobe Systems. It is the current market leader
for commercial bitmap and image manipulation
software, and is the flagship product of Adobe
Systems. It has been described as "an industry
standard for graphics professionals" and was one
of the early "killer applications" on the Macintosh,
later also for the PC.
 Adobe's 2005 "Creative Suite" rebranding led to
Adobe Photoshop 8's renaming to Adobe
Photoshop CS. Thus, Adobe Photoshop CS4 is the
11th major release of Adobe Photoshop. The CS
rebranding also resulted in Adobe offering
numerous software packages containing multiple
Adobe programs for a reduced price. Adobe
Photoshop is included in most of Adobe's Creative
Suite offerings.
 Photoshop's popularity, combined with its
high retail price, makes Photoshop's
piracy rate relatively high. Adobe countered
by including SafeCast DRM starting with
Adobe Photoshop CS
 During this time, John traveled to
Silicon Valley and gave a demonstration of
the program to engineers at
Apple Computer Inc. and , art director at
Adobe. Both showings were successful, and
Adobe decided to purchase the license to
distribute in September 1988.[4] While
John worked on plug-ins in California,
Thomas remained in Ann Arbor writing
program code. Photoshop 1.0 was released
in 1990 for Macintosh exclusively
 Features
 Photoshop has strong ties with other Adobe
software for media editing, animation, and
authoring. The .PSD (Photoshop Document),
Photoshop's native format, stores an image with
support for most imaging options available in
Photoshop. These include layers with masks,
color spaces, ICC profiles, transparency, text,
alpha channels and spot colors, clipping paths, and
duotone settings. This is in contrast to many other
file formats (e.g. .EPS or .GIF) that restrict content
to provide streamlined, predictable functionality.
 Photoshop's popularity means that the .PSD format
is widely used, and it is supported to some extent
by most competing software. The .PSD file format
can be exported to and from Adobe Illustrator,
Adobe Premiere Pro, and After Effects, to make
professional standard DVDs and provide non-
linear editing and special effects services, such as
backgrounds, textures, and so on, for television,
film, and the Web. Photoshop is a pixel-based
image editor, unlike Adobe Illustrator or
CorelDraw, which is a vector-based image editor.
 Photoshop can utilize the color models
RGB, lab, CMYK, grayscale, binary bitmap
, and duotone. Photoshop has the ability to
read and write raster and vector image
formats such as .EPS, .PNG, .GIF, .JPEG,
and Adobe Fireworks.
 CS3
 Photoshop CS3 is marketed with three main components
of improvement over previous versions: "Work more
productively, edit with unrivalled power, and composite
with breakthrough tools.New features propagating
productivity include streamlined interface, improved
Camera Raw, better control over print options, enhanced
PDF support, and better management with Adobe Bridge
. Editing tools new to CS3 are the Clone Source palette
and nondestructive Smart Filters, and other features such
as the Brightness/Contrast adjustment and Vanishing
Point module were enhanced. The Black and White
adjustment option improves users control over manual
grayscale conversions with a dialog box similar to that of
Channel Mixer. Compositing is assisted with
Photoshop's new Quick Selection and Refine Edge tools
and improved image stitching technology
 CS4
 Photoshop CS4 features additions such as the ability to
paint directly on 3D models, wrap 2D images around 3D
shapes, convert gradient maps to 3D objects, add depth to
layers and text, get print-quality output with the new ray-
tracing rendering engine, and enjoy exporting to supported
common 3D formats; the new Adjustment and Mask
Panels; Content-aware scaling (also known as
seam carving[9]); Fluid Canvas Rotation and File display
options.[10] On 30 April, Adobe released Photoshop CS4
Extended, which includes all the same features of Adobe
Photoshop CS4 with the addition of capabilities for
scientific imaging, 3D, and high end film and video users.
The successor to Photoshop CS3, Photoshop CS4 is the
first 64-bit Photoshop on consumer computers (only on
Windows – the OS X version is still 32-bit only.)
