This software is a widely-used tool for editing images that meets industry standards.
The industry-standard editing toolset is available for your use and it includes enhanced color-correction and cloning and healing tools. One of the highlights of Adobe Photoshop CS4 is the nondestructive editing capabilities, including new Smart Filters, which let you visualize different image effects, and Smart Objects, which let you scale, rotate, and warp raster and vector graphics — all without altering pixel data.
In addition to that, the software also offers a rich painting and drawing toolset which allows you to create or modify images with a wide assortment of professional, fully customizable paint settings, artistic brushes, and drawing tools.
The advanced compositing feature allows you to create accurate composites by automatically aligning multiple Adobe Photoshop layers or images based on similar content. The Auto-align Layers command quickly analyzes details and moves, rotates, or warps layers to align them perfectly, and the Auto-blend Layers command blends the color and shading to create a smooth, editable result.
Adobe Photoshop CS4 also includes Quick Selection and Refine Edge tools which allow you to make selections in a snap. You can loosely draw on an image area, and the Quick Selection tool automatically completes the selection for you. Then fine-tune your selections with the Refine Edge tool.
To further increase efficiency, the software provides customized workflows and a streamlined work environment with enhanced palette management. You can focus on your images instead of the software.
The printing experience has also been improved; you can have better control over print quality with color management, a larger print preview window, and more controls in one place so you can print in fewer steps. Improved printing controls, co-developed by Adobe and HP, make printing easier and more predictable and streamline setup options via integration with select printers from HP, Epson, and Canon.
Adobe Bridge CS3 allows you to organize and manage images more efficiently with improved performance, a Filter panel for easier searching, the ability to group multiple images under a single thumbnail, the Loupe tool, offline image browsing, and more. You can import and export a wide range of file formats, including PSD, BMP, Cineon, JPEG, JPEG2000, OpenEXR, PNG, Targa, and TIFF.
Lastly, you can take advantage of a wealth of additional resources — including software plug-ins, books, and training — from the longstanding community of expert Photoshop developers, authors, and trainers. Adobe Photoshop CS4 is an all-around software that takes care of all your imaging needs.
