Create powerful images with the professional standard
Adobe® Photoshop® CS5 delivers breakthrough capabilities to help you create images with impact. Refine your
images with reengineered photography tools for removing noise, adding grain, and creating high dynamic
range (HDR) images. Get precise results when making complex selections. Remove any image element and
see the space fill in almost magically. Paint with naturally textured brushstrokes and realistic color blends.
Also work fast with cross-platform 64-bit support and dozens of other time-savers.
Top reasons to upgrade to Adobe® Photoshop® CS5
Complex selections made easy
Get precise results in fewer clicks when selecting intricate image elements,
such as hair, and eliminate background color around selection edges. Automatically vary selection edges and
perfect masks using new refinement tools.
Content-Aware Fill
Remove any image detail or object and watch as Content-Aware Fill magically fills in the
space left behind. This breakthrough technology matches lighting, tone, and noise so it looks as if the removed
content never existed.
Superior HDR imaging
Create photorealistic or surreal high dynamic range (HDR) images with unprecedented
speed, control, and accuracy. Get better-than-ever results thanks to automatic ghost removal and greater
control with tone mapping and adjustments, and even give single-exposure photos the look of HDR.
State-of-the-art raw image processing
Use the Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 6 plug-in to nondestructively
remove image noise while preserving color and detail; add grain to make digital photos look more organic;
enjoy more control as you perform post-crop vignetting; and more.
Extraordinary painting effects
Achieve natural and realistic painting effects with the Mixer Brush, which
offers on-canvas color blending, and Bristle Tips, which let you create lifelike, textured brushstrokes.
Puppet Warp
Precisely reposition or warp any image element. Swing a raised arm to a person's side in a
photo, stretch text to create new effects, and more.
Automatic lens correction
Save time with automatic correction of lens distortions, chromatic aberration, and
vignetting. Photoshop CS5 uses an image file's EXIF data to make precise adjustments based on the type of
camera and lens you used.
Efficient workflow
Enjoy productivity and creativity boosts thanks to dozens of features and enhancements
requested by Photoshop users. Straighten images automatically, pick colors from an onscreen color picker,
adjust the opacity of many layers at once, and more.
Better media management
Easily manage media with more flexible batch renaming, and access your assets
in the context of what you're working on by using the customizable Adobe Mini Bridge panel in Photoshop.
Faster performance across platforms
Speed up day-to-day imaging tasks and process very large images up
to 10 times faster by taking advantage of cross-platform 64-bit support. (Requires a 64-bit-capable computer
with a 64-bit version of Mac OS, Microsoft® Windows® 7, or Windows Vista®. Actual performance varies
depending on amount of RAM, driver types, and other factors.)
Streamlined creative reviews through integration with CS Live services
Use Adobe CS Review, part of new
CS Live online services*, to initiate a more secure review without leaving Photoshop. Reviewers can add comments
to your images from their browsers, and you see those comments appear automatically on your screen. Adobe
CS Live online services are complimentary for a limited time. Visit www.adobe.com/go/cslive for details.
New GPU-accelerated features
Take advantage of GPU-enabled enhancements to everyday tools. Crop with
the Rule of Thirds grid; zoom with click-and-scrub functionality; and sample colors with better visualization
and an onscreen color picker.
Easier user interface management
Use the collapsible Workspace Switcher to quickly navigate and choose
among favorite user interface configurations. Live workspaces automatically record your user interface
changes so panels will remain in place even if you switch away for a while.
Superior black-and-white conversion
Explore an endless variety of black-and-white looks. Use the
integrated Lab B&W Action to interactively convert color images; create gorgeous HDR black-and-whites
with greater ease and speed; and experiment with new presets.
