Adobe Photoshop CS5

Adobe® Photoshop® CS5 is the industry’s leading digital image editing software. It is the
perfect creative tool for designing and manipulating images for print layouts, web publishing,multimedia, video, photography, and for visually expressing your creative ideas.

Photoshop CS5 comes in two versions: Adobe Photoshop CS5 and Adobe Photoshop CS5

Extended. The difference between them is that Photoshop Extended contains everything the standard version does, plus powerful tools that let you create and edit three-dimensional imagery and motion-based content, as well as support for technical image analysis, measurement, and editing. The top additions are:

• 3D extrusions – Easily explore new creative directions: Create 3D logos and artwork with Adobe Repoussé technology – the automatic inflation of 2D art. Twist, rotate, extrude, bevel, and inflate these designs, and then apply rich materials like chrome, glass, and cork.
• Advanced 3D editing capabilities – Push your creative boundaries with powerful 3D editing tools — even paint directly on 3D objects. Add 3D objects to your designs and create amazing composites. Illuminate your scene with real lighting, and animate your objects.
• Motion content editing – Paint, add text, and clone over multiple frames of an imported video sequence using your favorite Photoshop tools.
• Image analysis – Use measurement and counting tools to extract quantitative information from images. Record and export data for further analysis. Import DICOM files as frames or as a volume to directly analyze and edit your image data.

Photoshop is available for both Windows and Macintosh platforms. Regardless of which platform you use, the features and commands are very similar. Some of the Windows and Macintosh keyboard commands differ in name, but they have equivalent functions. For example, the [Ctrl] and [Alt] keys are used in Windows, and the and [option] keys are used on Macintosh computers. There are also visual differences between the Windows and Macintosh versions of Photoshop due to the user interface differences found in each platform.
