CNET editors’ review


Reviewed by: CNET Staff

Photoshop is the professional standard in digital imaging, with an endless selection of drawing tools, filters, and color-adjustment capabilities for manipulating items in almost any way. Originally designed for bitmap images, Photoshop lets you create eye-catching typography by placing text on paths or within shapes, perform shadow and highlight correction, explore expanded color-matching features, parlay efficient layer comps, and preview, search, and share images. Oh, and it’s also the premiere program for managing home digital printing.

CS3 Extended includes support for rendering and integrating 3D images into 2D composites and video layer editing. There’s also a greatly modified help menu to take the edge off your learning curve, with built-in how-to’s on Preparing Art for Other Applications, Printing Photos, Working with Color and Type, and more. From simply lightening dark photos to improving color and contrast, to adding objects or people that weren’t originally in the picture, Photoshop is an excellent tool whose innovative features meet any professional need.

Though it’s an excellent software tool, the trial version demands a lot of download time, hard drive space, and RAM for rendering and other heavy tasks. However, the trial is fully functional, letting you edit, save, print, and export files, making it easier to assess this expensive product. Keep in mind that Photoshop has a steep learning curve, so great results take time and training.

Publisher’s description


From Adobe Systems :With Photoshop CS4 and Photoshop CS4 Extended, you get: Unrivaled editing power. New Adjustments and Masks panels slash the time it takes you to make nondestructive color and tone adjustments, and to create and re-edit feathered, density-controlled pixel and vector masks. With on-image controls and presets, there’s less time mousing between settings. Fine modifications are faster and easier with additions like the new Vibrance adjustment layer and enhanced Color Range mask creation. And Content-Aware Scaling is the revolutionary new feature that automatically recomposes an image as you resize it, smartly preserving vital areas as it adapts to the new dimensions. Work more efficiently and naturally with fluid, natural canvas rotation, enhanced pan and zoom tools, and effortless large-image navigation. Vastly improved Dodge, Burn, and Sponge tools let you intelligently and accurately adjust the exposure and color of image areas using simple brush strokes. Photoshop CS4 tools combine increased power and finer control with easier, more naturally controlled effects to boost productivity, no matter how you work with digital images. Breakthrough 3D, motion graphics, and image analysis capabilities. In Photoshop CS4 Extended, you can now work with 3D objects and video frames as easily as with any traditional image. Paint directly on 3D objects. Combine 2D layers and video files into 3D layers. Easily convert any image into a 3D object or volume. And do it all with a brand new 3D engine that provides dramatic performance and capability improvements. In motion graphics, single key shortcuts let you move through and edit video layers faster and more precisely than before, and new controls enable you to preview and export audio tracks as well. Image analysis improvements include multiple counts with the Count tool and volume rendering of DICOM files. See what’s possible, with Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Photoshop CS4 Extended.
