With Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop CS5 Extended, you can:
Perfect your photography with breakthrough tools. Photoshop CS5 offers state-of-the-art tools
to help you refine your images and get superior results faster than ever before. The integrated
Adobe Camera Raw 6 plug-in makes it easy to preserve color, detail, and a natural feel when
removing noise and adding film-like grain effects, and gives you more control over post-crop
vignetting and better results when sharpening images. With HDR Pro, you can easily merge
exposures to create gorgeous HDR images. And lens correction is more powerful, lens-specific, and
automated to save you time.
Achieve the exceptional. Take your imagery and designs in new artistic directions with the new
Mixer Brush and Bristle Tips, which enable you to realistically blend colors and paint with
naturalistic strokes. Brush directly onto photographic originals to create eye-catching paintings.
Use the powerful new Puppet Warp feature to easily reposition an image element—like an arm
that’s bent at an awkward angle—and magically remove unwanted subjects in your photos with
Content-Aware Fill.
Be productive everywhere. From helping you make the most of today’s powerful hardware
systems to including user-inspired enhancements that make a big impact on your day-to-day
workflow, Photoshop CS5 boosts your productivity at every level. Cross-platform native 64-bit
support and higher levels of addressable RAM yield better performance, especially when working
with large image files. New selection technology helps you easily make complex selections of
difficult subjects with superior results, and Adobe Mini Bridge keeps your photos and media close
to hand—right inside Photoshop. Dozens of timesaving features suggested by users like you, more
control over settings, enhanced tool functionality, and new options in existing features make
Photoshop CS5 easier and more precise to use.
Explore creatively in 3D (Photoshop CS5 Extended only). Take your work to the next level by
adding 3D elements to 2D designs and easily creating 3D extrusions from selections, photos, text,
and shapes with new Adobe Repoussé technology. And you can enhance the realism of your 3D
artwork with one‐click shadow creation and a rich library of easy‐to‐apply 3D materials.
Who uses Photoshop?
Photographers have long relied on Photoshop for the ultimate in creative control and production
of high-quality images. With its unrivaled editing and enhancing power, Photoshop helps
photographers achieve superior results with its industry-leading features, extensive toolset, and
state-of-the-art editing, compositing, and painting capabilities. Photoshop contains everything
image makers need to perfect their photos, including tools for retouching, adjusting tones,
correcting color, noise removal, and sharpening. Photographers also take advantage of cutting-
edge, nondestructive editing workflows with the precise controls in Adobe Camera Raw, non-
modal adjustments, and Smart Objects in Photoshop, and tight integration with Adobe Photoshop
Lightroom® software. They use selection tools, layers, and masking technologies to perform
advanced compositing, and employ filters and painting features for artistic enhancements.
Photoshop Extended provides them with the added ability to work with 3D imagery and motion-
based content, and they use Adobe Bridge software to efficiently manage their photos.
Web, print, and interactive designers use Photoshop to bring their creative visions to life in print,
on mobile devices, and on the web. Working in unison with other Creative Suite tools like Adobe
InDesign®, Illustrator®, and Dreamweaver®, Photoshop plays a key role in the designer’s workflow,
providing the necessary tools to retouch or enhance photos, create superior composites, produce
complex illustrations, and produce imaging content that is optimized for multiple design outcomes.
Designers can port their interface and website creations from Photoshop to Adobe Flash® Catalyst™
software to produce interactive content without having to write any code. Adobe Bridge acts as a
cross-program pivot point for managing the wide variety of mixed assets involved in design
projects. Photoshop Extended provides designers with the added feature set needed for the
creation of 3D logos, buttons, and artwork.
