Industry-standard editing toolset
Perfect your images with industry-leading image-editing capabilities, which include enhanced colour-correction and cloning and healing tools.
Nondestructive editing
Take advantage of nondestructive editing capabilities, including new Smart Filters, which let you visualise different image effects, and Smart Objects, which let you scale, rotate, and warp raster and vector graphics - all without altering pixel data.
Rich painting and drawing toolset
Create or modify images with a wide assortment of professional, fully customisable paint settings, artistic brushes, and drawing tools.
Advanced compositing
Create more accurate composites by automatically aligning multiple Photoshop layers or images based on similar content. The Auto-align Layers command quickly analyses details and moves, rotates, or warps layers to align them perfectly, and the Auto-blend Layers command blends the colour and shading to create a smooth, editable result.
Quick Selection and Refine Edge tools
Make selections in a snap. 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.
Built-in efficiency
Take advantage of customised workflows and a streamlined work environment with enhanced palette management so you can focus on your images, not your software.
Improved printing experience
Experience better control over print quality with colour 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.
Faster, more flexible asset management with Adobe Bridge CS3
Organise and manage images more efficiently with Adobe Bridge CS3 software, which now delivers 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.
Wide range of supported formats
Import and export a wide range of file formats, including PSD, BMP, Cineon, JPEG, JPEG2000, OpenEXR, PNG, Targa, and TIFF.
Third-party solutions and resources
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.
