Amazing Photo Editing Program (Adobe Photoshop CS4)

Advantages: Massive amount of features, endless ways to manipulate pictures
Disadvantages: Takes a while to learn how to use it

...Having recently reviewed Quark on here I thought I should also give a review on Photoshop as it is another program that I use on a daily basis. Photoshop is a photo editing program which again as with quark I started when I was 17 (long time ago now) and at college studying Graphic Design, being young and having never used the program before I thought it was amazing, I didn't realize that there where programs out there that could do so much to pictures. How times have changed, this program has been re-released several times since I first started using it and it has come on in leaps and bounds, it is now an even more amazing program which is packed full of features, you can pretty much do anything you like to a picture, it certainly makes me think twice when I see a picture in a newspaper or magazine, you never know what could have been...

Elementary Photo-shopping

Advantages: Packed full of features, Great fun, Improve your digital images
Disadvantages: You need memory!!

...~~~~ Overview ~~~~ Adobe Photoshop Elements 5 is a software package used to manipulate and enhance digital images, whether they are from your digital camera, scanned images or pictures from the internet. I mainly use the software to improve the pictures I take with my digital camera; altering the contrast, brightness, colour saturation etc, and also cropping and enlarging images. I also regularly alter pictures for documents and other applications, to make them smaller by compressing the images so they don't take as much disk space up. The program is split into two main functions: ~ Editor: Allows photos and images to be enhanced and edited using a range of different tools. ~ Organiser: Allows your photos and images to be organised using several different methods. ~~~~ Editor ~~~~ The editor is very versatile, offering a whole...

Photoshop CS3 - The best graphic designing tool.

Advantages: Easy to use, more creative features, really great product results, has a built in animation window
Disadvantages: Expesive price, other features, are really complicated.

... Adobe Photoshop CS3 In my opinion, Photoshop CS3 is a best graphic designing tool for all ages. As a graphic designer, I have lots of experience with my photoshop. It's really easy to use especially you already use the minor photo editors like Gimp, Photoscape and more. Photoshop CS3 helps me to make money by myself it really helps me a lot. Especially this vacation I earned big bucks by graphic designing with my Photoshop. What's inside Photoshop CS3? Photoshop has a lot of excellent features.

It has very rare cool effects, Like drop shadows, stroke, outer and inner glow, bevel and a lot of more! The filters. Filters has a lot...

Photoshop CS2...Perfection?

Advantages: Very neat and useful new features
Disadvantages: Still expensive to buy new

...After working with photoshop 7 for the last year, and other versions beforehand, I have found it to be an extremely versatile and powerful program, and it would be very difficult to think of any major improvements that could be installed upon it. Had I not discovered CS2. On aquiring this lastest piece of graphic manipulatition genius in the photoshop range, I was shocked to find that it not only met, but surpassed and obliterated all of my expectations for it (believe me, after the previous versions, the bar was set very high!). I had this time purchased the software for my recently obtained I-Mac, rather than the PC that I had been using photoshop on before, and was not sure quite how it would transfer. Despite many beliefs the Mac user 'interface' in general can be quite different from that of a Windows based PC I found the new...

Photoshop Elements Drop Dead Lighting techniques

Advantages: Concise yet easy to follow, some impressive looking projects, well presented
Disadvantages: Special effects section, a little light (sic) on explanations

...One thing that often separates an average photo from a great one is the quality of light. Real life rarely serves up the sort of light we'd like (especially in the UK) and so we have to fall back on post processing and editing to tweak things. To the inexperienced user, this can be a bit of a hit and miss affair so I was very pleased to spot a copy of Photoshop Elements Drop Dead Lighting Techniques in the bookshop. The author Barry Huggins runs a multimedia and training consultancy at www.matrixtraining.com and has had his images used around the world so he ought to know a thing or two. The first thing that strikes you is the gorgeous presentation of the book. Ilex Press titles we have seen have always been impressive in this respect with superb quality brilliant white paper, excellent layout and flaps on the thick glossy cover...

Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0

Advantages: Great selection tools, pan & zoom in slide shows, price, printed manual
Disadvantages: file browser gone

...Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 aims to be everything the photographer wants for tweaking and fixing their images. Whilst the professionals prefer its more expensive big brother Photoshop CS, Photoshop Elements isn't to be sniffed at and offers 80% of the power for 10% of the price whilst making many tasks much easier. The biggest surprise coming from version 3 is that the file browser has gone. Adobe, what are you thinking? Well, it's clear what they're thinking, they want you to use the Photoshop Album interface which merged in to Photoshop Elements with version 3. It's actually a very powerful interface and lets you import and catalogue your images with ease and flexibility but sometimes, you just want to get down and dirty with the file system and the loss of a file browser hurts. As a sort of apology, Adobe have added the ability to...

Adobe Photoshop 7 - A Review

Advantages: The best photo-editor on the market, new time-saving features.
Disadvantages: Expensive, new version has few new creative tools, not good for home use.

...I've just spent £530 on a piece of software. Surprised? Don't be... You see, I do a fair bit of freelance digital photography and I needed a professional photo-editing program. After trying a few cheaper alternatives, I splashed out on Abode Photoshop 7 with all the trimmings, but I now use it almost every day. For the price, I don’t recommend it for non-professionals, but pros will gain some really handy features on this new, improved version of the Adobe program. The Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Package Here’s what you get for that ridiculously large some of money: Adobe Photoshop 7 – The main program has the same layout as before and all the features you’d expect to find for professional photo-editing are here...

Review of Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Complete package

It's as good as Photoshop non-upgrade edition, only cheaper!

Advantages: Runs on 64 bit processors properly. Uses the graphics card properly.
Disadvantages: Expensive to upgrade if you don't need the technical benefits. Most features are the same.

...Photoshop is the industry standard application for photo-manipulation and adjustment. You can't really beat it if you're in an industry where you need to adjust bitmap graphics. This review assumes you already have Photoshop and are looking to upgrade (otherwise, why would you be looking at the upgrade edition? you can't upgrade if you don't have an older version already!) The CS4 edition has two really great upgrade features: It uses your graphics card processor directly, making your work blisteringly fast. (Unless you don't have a decent graphics card of course!) The program is a little slower to run than CS3 and of course most of the features in CS3 are in CS4. The other good feature is that it can run in a dedicated 64 bit mode - so really making the most of your high powered PC. New stuff * Pixel editing. When you...
