Top new features of Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop CS5 Extended
Intelligent selection technology
Photoshop CS5 takes the time and frustration out of making precise
image selections and masks, providing you a faster way to extract
subjects from their backgrounds and create realistic composites. New
intelligent selection technology offers better edge detection and
faster, more accurate masking results of complex subjects, like hair.
Automatic color decontamination helps you eliminate background color
around the edges of a selection, resulting in more seamless compositions
when placing extracted subjects on new backgrounds.
Experienced Photoshop users know that the best
selections are created by constantly adapting the selection technique
for differences in the subject's edges--one method for hair and another
for the edge of a building. With Photoshop CS5, you can produce highly
accurate masks and selections faster and more simply than before with a
set of new adaptive selection-edge modification controls. Smart Radius
automatically matches the best selection approach with the subject's
changing edge characteristics, and the extra view modes assist you in
previewing the quality of your selections. The Refine Radius and Erase
Refinements tools customize your masks and selections as you make them.
These tools, in combination with the color decontamination settings,
help eliminate any residual background color from around the edges of
your selections.
Content‐Aware Fill One of
the most exciting new features in Photoshop CS5 is the remarkable
ability to remove an image element and magically replace it with details
that match the lighting, tone, and noise of the surrounding area so
that it looks like the content never existed. Now, you can make
substantial changes to photo composition quickly and easily, as even
large complex subjects can be seamlessly erased.
You can use
Content-Aware Fill with the Spot Healing Brush or as an option of the
Fill feature to replace content in an active selection. Selecting the
Content-Aware setting with the Spot Healing brush changes the way the
tool fills in the areas you paint. This retouching approach is designed
to account more fully for the structure and detail of the image elements
that surround the painted area, providing a near-invisible result when
removing unwanted objects. Alternatively, you can select the object to
be removed, and then replace the area with synthesized details from the
area surrounding the selection, simply by using the Content-Aware option
in the Fill dialog box.
HDR Pro for creativity and precision with the next generation of high dynamic range imaging
With just a few clicks, you can go beyond the capture capabilities of
your camera by combining multiple exposures into a single high dynamic
range (HDR) photo that preserves the full tonal range of a scene with
high contrast. Photoshop CS5 introduces HDR Pro for more control over
the HDR merging process and greater adjustment power over the mapping of
tones and the styling of HDR output, resulting in images that range
from photorealistic to highly surreal.
HDR Pro offers extended
controls, an enhanced dialog box, and improved image processing. New
algorithms enable more accurate alignment of source files and
automatically deghost any problem areas that occur when trying to merge
source photos where subjects have moved during capture. You can even
select a source file to be used as the sole reference for any ghosted
areas or allow the feature to do this automatically for you.
New
tone-mapping tools and adjustment controls give you the power to
implement your own HDR vision, producing photos that range in style from
fully textured images of high-contrast scenes to wildly hyper-realistic
creations. Save your favorite styles as presets and apply them to
multiple groups of source files to provide a common look and feel to
your HDR photos. And for times when you don't have multiple source
files, create the look of an HDR-processed image from a single photo
with the new HDR Toning feature that allows you to mimic the
tone-mapping results traditionally achieved in high dynamic range
photos.
Together with the existing Photomerge feature (which
allows for image stitching), the exposure-merging capabilities of HDR
Pro can add up to high-bit-depth, 360-degree panoramas ideal for
composite photography, video, and beyond.
The Auto Stack
Panorama/HDR files option in Adobe Bridge CS5 and the new panelized Mini
Bridge groups source files together into stacks for quicker creation of
HDR images in Photoshop CS5. You can even start the creation of an HDR
file by choosing Tools > Merge To HDR from the Mini Bridge panel
inside Photoshop.
State-of-the-art raw-image processing
The Adobe Camera Raw 6 plug-in, which ships with Photoshop CS5, now
supports more than 275 camera models as it continues to provide you with
the industry-leading conversion of raw files. In addition, the utility
provides advanced, nondestructive image editing and enhancement for raw
files, as well as for other standard formats, including JPEG and TIFF.
Now you can remove noise, achieve better quality sharpening, and
creatively apply new styles of vignettes and film-like grain.
You
can now shoot at higher ISO settings with confidence, because the
updated controls in the Adobe Camera Raw 6 plug-in remove the noise
common in such high-ISO images (as well as in photos captured with long
exposures and pictures from consumer cameras) while still preserving
excellent color and detail.
New controls for adding grain and
additional post-crop vignetting settings join many creative options
already available in this utility, such as the Adjustment Brush and the
Graduated Filter. For the first time, you can add grain-like texture to
photos as part of your nondestructive editing workflow. Adjust amount,
size, and roughness of grain to easily give composites a more natural,
seamless appearance by matching levels of grain across all source
images--or simply use the feature to make a digital photo look more
organic or film-like.
Updated post-crop vignetting options offer
more creative control over the corner darkening and lightening process,
and your favorite vignette effects can be saved as presets for quick
application across multiple files.
Upgraded sharpening options
produce clearer photos with fewer artifacts while providing better
control over key details, especially when working with high-resolution
pictures produced by multi-megapixel cameras.
Extraordinary painting effects
With a new Mixer Brush, a Bristle Tips feature, and a new mechanism for
blending colors, Photoshop CS5 redefines the way you paint. You can
take advantage of more natural and realistic painting effects, making it
easy to take your imagery and designs in new artistic directions.
The
Mixer Brush lets you define multiple colors on a single tip, and then
mix and blend them with the underlying hues on your canvas, achieving
creative results that rival traditional painting media. When starting
with a photo original, you can use a dry, empty brush to blend the
existing colors while at the same time adding a painterly effect to the
image. Mixer Brush settings provide extensive control over the wetness
of the canvas colors, the load rate that determines amount of paint
loaded on the brush, the mixing rate between brush and canvas colors,
and whether the brush is refilled, cleaned, or both after each painting
stroke.
In conjunction with these new mixing features, Photoshop
CS5 incorporates unprecedented control over stroke characteristics of
its painting tools with Bristle Tips. Bristle Qualities define key
bristle properties such as shape, length, stiffness, thickness, angle,
and spacing, which affect how the color is laid on the image as you
paint.
The Bristle Brush Preview feature provides a visual
representation of these changes, and you can save your tip
configurations for future use, allowing you to build a customized
collection of Bristle Tips to experiment with when using Photoshop brush
tools.
Puppet Warp Puppet Warp gives you
more freedom when pushing and pulling elements within an image. The
feature lets you recompose an image to make it more appealing, or to fit
a specific layout, by allowing the precise repositioning of any element
within a Photoshop document, or selection, by simply clicking and
dragging. After you reposition an object, Photoshop adjusts the rest of
the image to account for the shifted pixels.
After choosing Edit
> Puppet Warp, click on your image to drop pins establishing anchor
points where you want image parts not to move, and handles that you can
use for warping. Then drag any of the pins to reposition the picture
elements. Use Puppet Warp to swing a raised arm to a person's side, warp
and stretch text to create new effects, or reposition intrusive objects
in a photo to create a more pleasing composition.
Automated lens correction
The Lens Correction features in Photoshop CS5 create better quality
captures by removing or correcting the three most common lens-based
errors: geometric distortion, chromatic aberration, and vignetting. This
means you can use a wider range of lenses with the confidence of
producing images of the highest quality. With the aid of the Adobe Lens
Profile Creator (available separately as a free download from
labs.adobe.com) you can produce custom profiles characterizing the
optical aberrations of your camera lenses. When installed and selected
in the Lens Correction filter in Photoshop CS5, the profile
automatically removes or corrects the three types of distortion.

The
Lens Correction filter in Photoshop CS5 is redesigned to include manual
adjustment controls under the Custom tab, and settings for locating and
applying custom Lens Correction Profiles (LCP files) under a new Auto
Correction tab. Installed profiles that match your camera and lens
combination are used to apply precise distortion corrections to your
photos. Suitable profiles can be located easily based on the EXIF data
automatically recorded with the image, and if a suitable profile is not
present in the Lens Correction filter, then with a single click within
the dialog box, you can search online for the correct profile to meet
your needs.
Individual error types can be selected in the
filter's settings, as can options for handling any transparent areas
that surround the corrected image.
Easy 3D extrusions with Adobe Repoussé (Photoshop CS5 Extended only)
Repoussé is an ancient metalworking technique for embossing artwork on
the surface of metals such as gold, silver, copper, tin, and bronze.
Photoshop Extended offers a powerful new feature, inspired by this
traditional technique, for creating eye-catching 3D artwork.
Use
Adobe Repoussé to easily convert 2D artwork into 3D objects and then
create depth by altering the extrusion properties of the 3D model.
Easily extrude text to create logos and 3D artwork for use in websites,
video frames, or layouts.
Starting with a text layer, a path, a
selection, or a layer mask, you can convert the content to 3D with the
Create New 3D Object section of the 3D panel. After the conversion is
complete, you can alter the look of your 3D model by manipulating its
key extrusion properties--depth, scale, bend, shear, inflate, or
twist--in the Repoussé dialog box.
In addition to manipulating
these properties, you can inflate the front or back of the extrusion
and/or apply a custom bevel. Sections of objects (internal subpaths) can
also be inflated by creating a selection first and then adjusting the
Internal Constraints settings in the Repoussé dialog box. The 3D Axis
widget allows on canvas rotation of the of the model
Enhanced 3D realism and rich materials (Photoshop CS5 Extended only)
Bring your 3D creations to life with the materials that ship with
Photoshop CS5 Extended. You can select materials from the library of
included presets, download additional materials by choosing 3D >
Browse 3D Content, create your own, or even edit existing materials to
customize them for your needs (in the materials section of the 3D
panel). Test a variety of looks for your 3D models and extruded designs
by adding different materials or textures to their surfaces. Materials
that feature reflection or refraction properties can be rendered with
the new Adobe Ray Tracer engine. The Repoussé dialog box, and the
Materials section of the 3D panel, both contain options for applying a
single material to all surfaces—as well as choosing different
treatments--for individual sections and surfaces of your models
Use
the 3D Material Drop tool and the Material Load tool to easily load a
material and drop it into different meshes, allowing you to sample and
apply materials interactively. New overlay controls provide instant
feedback about where specific materials and meshes are located in your
model, and the updated 3D axis widget now works with lights and cameras
as well as 3D objects.
With the Shadow Catcher feature, you can
now easily generate a shadow on the ground plane of a scene, and then
adjust how the shadow interacts with image content of other layers by
altering its opacity and its softness. To further enhance realism, you
can use an HDR image to light your scene, or re-create traditional
depth-of-field effects in your rendered scene by adjusting the zone of
sharpness with the new Distance and Blur controls.
Better 3D performance and workflow (Photoshop CS5 Extended only)
Take advantage of better performance and immediate rendering feedback
thanks to the improved Adobe Ray Tracer (ART) engine in Photoshop CS5
Extended. ART 2.0 brings substantial improvements in performance when
you interact with and edit 3D models. ART 2.0 progressively renders 3D
scenes with an option to re-render after a pause, or even perform
selective renderings, all while providing more immediate feedback and
dramatically reducing the time it takes to preview key areas in high
quality.
You also get faster previews and more responsive
interaction thanks to changes made in the OpenGL engine, which now
fast-tracks the delivery of complex 3D geometry to the video card.
Overall workflow performance has been optimized with improved import,
interaction speeds, and better merging of 3D objects into a single
scene. To aid with fine-tuning and adjustment of these performance
features, there is a new 3D section in Preferences.
User-inspired productivity enhancements
Photoshop CS5 helps boost productivity and creativity throughout the
editing workflow with dozens of enhancements inspired by Photoshop
users.
Streamlined creative reviews through integration with Adobe CS Review
Collaborate with colleagues and seek client comment quickly and easily
with Adobe CS Review, a new CS Live online service* designed to simplify
and accelerate the design review process.
With CS Review, you
can avoid the hassles of large email attachments, logon problems with
FTP servers, and time-consuming next-day air deliveries usually
associated with client reviews by instead initiating a secure, shared
review. Comments are displayed in near-real time and in context,
providing convenient feedback on your images and designs. You can access
the CS Review service from within Photoshop CS5.
Faster performance with cross-platform native 64-bit support
Tight deadlines and large file sizes make performance a high priority
for many Photoshop users. Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop CS5 Extended
deliver cross-platform 64-bit support, allowing you to perform
day-to-day imaging tasks up to 10 times faster. Video and photo
professionals, especially, benefit from the extra performance, as gains
are even greater if you regularly work with very large files, where
processing can be up to ten times faster when you take advantage of
higher addressable RAM amounts--limited only by what your hardware
accommodates.
To help you tweak the performance of your setup, Photoshop CS5 lets you adjust history, tile, and cache controls in combination.
Greater access to key resources via flexible custom panels
Photoshop CS5 offers easy ways to integrate and extend your workspace
with customized panels. With the aid of the Configurator 2.0 panel
utility (available separately as a download from labs.adobe.com) you can
produce your own panels, bringing together your most used tools and
menu selections and incorporating your favorite web feeds or video
tutorials.
Stay connected to the greater Photoshop community and
all facets of your digital life directly from within Photoshop CS5 by
using panels you create or those produced and distributed by other
users. You can access anything that lives on the web--favorite blogs,
video content, even your email--with these integrated panels. You can
even expand content beyond a panel's standard viewing area when you need
a magnified view.
Easier interface management with Live Workspaces and Workspace Switcher
Creating dedicated, task-specific workspaces that mimic your individual
workflow increases productivity and efficiency by hiding the features
you don't use and exposing the ones you do. New Live Workspaces
auto-save any changes you make to a task-specific workspace, so that if
you switch to a different workspace and then back again during an
editing session, your panels remain exactly where you left them. The
number of entries displayed in the collapsible Workspace Switcher can be
altered, and the position of each workspace can be rearranged. This
provides quicker navigation between frequently used setups.
Superior black-and-white conversion
Photoshop CS5 continues to support the tradition of producing finely
crafted monochrome photos with the inclusion of new ways to explore an
endless variety of black-and-white looks. You can use the integrated Lab
Black & White Technique action, located in the Default Actions
group of the Actions panel, for an easy and interactive way to convert
color images. Create gorgeous HDR black-and-whites with greater ease and
speed by taking advantage of the new and updated features in HDR Pro.
Take your monochrome creations in new directions with conversion presets
in the Black & W
