Adobe Photoshop is a raster graphics editor developed and published by Adobe Inc. for Windows and macOS. It was originally created in 1988 by Thomas and John Knoll. Since then, this software has become the industry standard not only in raster graphics editing, but in digital art as a whole. The software's name has thus become a generic trademark, leading to its usage as a verb (e.g. 'to photoshop an image', 'photoshopping', and 'photoshop contest') although Adobe discourages such use.[4] Photoshop can edit and compose raster images in multiple layers and supports masks, alpha compositing, and several color models including RGB, CMYK, CIELAB, spot color, and duotone. Photoshop uses its own
PSD and PSB file formats to support these features. In addition to raster graphics, this software has limited abilities to edit or render text and vector graphics (especially through clipping path for the latter), as well as 3D graphics and video. Its feature set can be expanded by plug-ins; programs developed and distributed independently of Photoshop that run inside it and offer new or enhanced features.
Photoshop's naming scheme was initially based on version numbers. However, in October 2002 (following the introduction of Creative Suite branding), each new version of Photoshop was designated with 'CS' plus a number; e.g., the eighth major version of Photoshop was Photoshop CS and the ninth was Photoshop CS2. Photoshop CS3 through CS6 were also distributed in two different editions: Standard and Extended. With the introduction of the Creative Cloud branding in June 2013 (and in turn, the change of the 'CS' suffix to 'CC'), Photoshop's licensing scheme was changed to that of software as a service rental model. Historically, Photoshop was bundled with additional software such as Adobe ImageReady, Adobe Fireworks, Adobe Bridge, Adobe Device Central and Adobe Camera RAW.
Alongside Photoshop, Adobe also develops and publishes Photoshop Elements, Photoshop Lightroom, Photoshop Express, Photoshop Fix, Photoshop Sketch and Photoshop Mix. Adobe also plans to launch a full version of Photoshop for the iPad in 2019.[5] Collectively, they are branded as 'The Adobe Photoshop Family'.
Early history[edit]
Photoshop was developed in 1987 by brothers Thomas and John Knoll, who sold the distribution license to Adobe Systems Incorporated in 1988. Thomas Knoll, a Ph.D. student at the University of Michigan, began writing a program on his Macintosh Plus to display grayscale images on a monochrome display. This program (at that time called Display) caught the attention of his brother John, an Industrial Light & Magic employee, who recommended that Thomas turn it into a full-fledged image editing program. Thomas took a six-month break from his studies in 1988 to collaborate with his brother on the program. Thomas renamed the program ImagePro, but the name was already taken.[6] Later that year, Thomas renamed his program Photoshop and worked out a short-term deal with scanner manufacturer Barneyscan to distribute copies of the program with a slide scanner; a 'total of about 200 copies of Photoshop were shipped' this way.[7][8]
During this time, John traveled to Silicon Valley and gave a demonstration of the program to engineers at Apple and Russell Brown, art director at Adobe. Both showings were successful, and Adobe decided to purchase the license to distribute in September 1988.[6] While John worked on plug-ins in California, Thomas remained in Ann Arbor writing code. Photoshop 1.0 was released on February 19, 1990 for Macintosh exclusively.[9][10] The Barneyscan version included advanced color editing features that were stripped from the first Adobe shipped version. The handling of color slowly improved with each release from Adobe and Photoshop quickly became the industry standard in digital color editing. At the time Photoshop 1.0 was released, digital retouching on dedicated high-end systems (such as the Scitex) cost around $300 an hour for basic photo retouching.
File format[edit]
Photoshop files have default file extension as .PSD, which stands for 'Photoshop Document.' A PSD file stores an image with support for most imaging options available in Photoshop. These include layers with masks, transparency, text, alpha channels and spot colors, clipping paths, and duotone settings. This is in contrast to many other file formats (e.g., .JPG or .GIF) that restrict content to provide streamlined, predictable functionality. A PSD file has a maximum height and width of 30,000 pixels, and a length limit of two gigabytes.
Photoshop files sometimes have the file extension .PSB, which stands for 'Photoshop Big' (also known as 'large document format'). A PSB file extends the PSD file format, increasing the maximum height and width to 300,000 pixels and the length limit to around 4 Exabytes. The dimension limit was apparently chosen arbitrarily by Adobe, not based on computer arithmetic constraints (it is not close to a power of two, as is 30,000) but for ease of software testing. PSD and PSB formats are documented.[11]
Because of Photoshop's popularity, PSD files are widely used and supported to some extent by most competing software. The .PSD file format can be exported to and from Adobe's other apps like Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Premiere Pro, and After Effects.
![]() Plugins[edit]
Photoshop functionality can be extended by add-on programs called Photoshop plugins (or plug-ins). Adobe creates some plugins, such as Adobe Camera Raw, but third-party companies develop most plugins, according to Adobe's specifications. Some are free and some are commercial software.Most plugins work with only Photoshop or Photoshop-compatible hosts, but a few can also be run as standalone applications.
There are various types of plugins, such as filter, export, import, selection, color correction, and automation. The most popular plugins are the filter plugins (also known as a 8bf plugins), available under the Filter menu in Photoshop.Filter plugins can either modify the current image or create content. Below are some popular types of plugins, and some well-known companies associated with them:
Adobe Camera Raw (also known as ACR and Camera Raw) is a special plugin, supplied free by Adobe, used primarily to read and process raw image files so that the resultant images can be processed by Photoshop.[22] It can also be used from within Adobe Bridge.
Photoshop tools[edit]
Upon loading Photoshop, a sidebar with a variety of tools with multiple image-editing functions appears to the left of the screen. These tools typically fall under the categories of drawing; painting; measuring and navigation; selection; typing; andretouching.[23] Some tools contain a small triangle in the bottom right of the toolbox icon. These can be expanded to reveal similar tools.[24] While newer versions of Photoshop are updated to include new tools and features, several recurring tools that exist in most versions are discussed below.
Pen tool[edit]
Photoshop includes a few versions of the pen tool. The pen tool creates precise paths that can be manipulated using anchor points. The free form pen tool allows the user to draw paths freehand, and with the magnetic pen tool, the drawn path attaches closely to outlines of objects in an image, which is useful for isolating them from a background.
Clone Stamp Tool[edit]
The Clone Stamp tool duplicates one part of an image to another part of the same image by way of a brush. The duplication is either in full or in part depending on the mode. The user can also clone part of one layer to another layer. The Clone Stamp tool is useful for duplicating objects or removing a defect in an image.[25]
Shape tools[edit]
Photoshop provides an array of shape tools including rectangles, rounded rectangles, ellipses, polygons and lines. These shapes can be manipulated by the pen tool, direct selection tool etc. to make vector graphics. In addition, Photoshop provides its own shapes like animals, signs and plants.
Measuring and navigation[edit]
The eyedropper tool selects a color from an area of the image that is clicked, and samples it for future use.[23] The hand tool navigates an image by moving it in any direction, and the zoom tool enlarges the part of an image that is clicked on, allowing for a closer view.[23]
Selection tools[edit]
Selection tools are used to select all or any part of a picture to perform cut, copy, edit, or retouching operations.
Cropping[edit]
The crop tool can be used to select a particular area of an image and discard the portions outside the chosen section. This tool assists in creating a focus point on an image and unnecessary or excess space.[26] Cropping allows enhancement of a photo's composition while decreasing the file size. The 'crop' tool is in the tools palette, which is located on the right side of the document. By placing the cursor over the image, the user can drag the cursor to the desired area. Once the Enter key is pressed, the area outside the rectangle will be cropped. The area outside the rectangle is the discarded data, which allows for the file size to be decreased.[27] The 'crop' tool can alternatively be used to extend the canvas size by clicking and dragging outside the existing image borders.
Slicing[edit]
The 'slice' and slice select tools, like the crop tool, are used in isolating parts of images. The slice tool can be used to divide an image into different sections, and these separate parts can be used as pieces of a web page design once HTML and CSS are applied.[28] The slice select tool allows sliced sections of an image to be adjusted and shifted.
Moving[edit]
The move tool can be used to drag the entirety of a single layer or more if they are selected. Alternatively, once an area of an image is highlighted, the move tool can be used to manually relocate the selected piece to anywhere on the canvas.[23]
Marquee[edit]
The marquee is a tool that can make selections that are single row, single column, rectangular and elliptical.[23] An area that has been selected can be edited without affecting the rest of the image. This tool can also crop an image; it allows for better control. In contrast to the crop tool, the 'marquee' tool allows for more adjustments to the selected area before cropping. The only marquee tool that does not allow cropping is the elliptical. Although the single row and column marquee tools allow for cropping, they are not ideal, because they only crop a line. The rectangular marquee tool is the preferred option. Once the tool has been selected, dragging the tool across the desired area will select it. The selected area will be outlined by dotted lines, referred to as 'marching ants'. To set a specific size or ratio, the tool option bar provides these settings. Before selecting an area, the desired size or ratio must be set by adjusting the width and height. Any changes such as color, filters, location, etc. should be made before cropping. To crop the selection, the user must go to image tab and select crop.[29]
Lasso[edit]
The lasso tool is similar to the 'marquee' tool, however, the user can make a custom selection by drawing it freehand.[23] There are three options for the 'lasso' tool â regular, polygonal, and magnetic. The regular 'lasso' tool allows the user to have drawing capabilities. Photoshop will complete the selection once the mouse button is released. The user may also complete the selection by connecting the end point to the starting point. The 'marching ants' will indicate if a selection has been made. The 'polygonal lasso' tool will draw only straight lines, which makes it an ideal choice for images with many straight lines. Unlike the regular 'lasso' tool, the user must continually click around the image to outline the shape. To complete the selection, the user must connect the end point to the starting point just like the regular lasso tool. 'Magnetic lasso' tool is considered the smart tool. It can do the same as the other two, but it can also detect the edges of an image once the user selects a starting point. It detects by examining the color pixels as the cursor move over the desired area. Closing the selection is the same as the other two, which should also should display the 'marching ants' once the selection has been closed.[30]
The quick selection tool selects areas based on edges, similarly to the magnetic lasso tool. The difference between this tool and the lasso tool is that there is no starting and ending point. For this reason, the selected area can be added onto as much as possible without starting over. By dragging the cursor over the desired area, the quick selection tool detects the edges of the image. The 'marching ants' allow the user to know what is currently being selected. Once the user is done, the selected area can be edited without affecting the rest of the image. One of the features that makes this tool especially user friendly is that the SHIFT key is not needed to add more to the selection; by default, extra mouse clicks will be added to the selection rather than creating a new selection.[31]
Magic wand[edit]
The magic wand tool selects areas based on pixels of similar values. One click will select all neighboring pixels of similar value within a tolerance level set by the user. If the eyedropper tool is selected in the options bar, then the magic wand can determine the value needed to evaluate the pixels; this is based on the sample size setting in the eyedropper tool. This tool is inferior to the quick selection tool which works much the same but with much better results and more intuitive controls. The user must decide what settings to use or if the image is right for this tool.[32]
Eraser[edit]
The Eraser tool erases content based on the active layer. If the user is on the text layer, then any text across which the tool is dragged will be erased. The eraser will convert the pixels to transparent, unless the background layer is selected. The size and style of the eraser can be selected in the options bar. This tool is unique in that it can take the form of the paintbrush and pencil tools. In addition to the straight eraser tool, there are two more available options â background eraser and magic eraser. The background eraser deletes any part of the image that is on the edge of an object. This tool is often used to extract objects from the background. The magic eraser tool deletes based on similar colored pixels. It is very similar to the magic wand tool. This tool is ideal for deleting areas with the same color or tone that contrasts with the rest of the image.[33]
Video editing[edit]
In Adobe CS5 Extended edition, video editing is comprehensive and efficient with a broad compatibility of video file formats such as MOV, AVI and MPEG-4 formats and easy workflow. Using simple combinations of keys video layers can easily be modified, with other features such as adding text and creating animations using single images.[34]
3D extrusion[edit]
With the Extended version of Photoshop CS5, 2D elements of an artwork can easily become three-dimensional with the click of a button. Extrusions of texts, an available library of materials for three-dimensional, and even wrapping two-dimensional images around 3D geometry.[34]
Mobile integration[edit]
Third-party plugins have also been added to the most recent version of Photoshop where technologies such as the iPad have integrated the software with different types of applications. Applications like the Adobe Eazel painting app allows the user to easily create paintings with their fingertips and use an array of different paint from dry to wet in order to create rich color blending.[35] In October 2018, it was announced that the full Photoshop engine will be released for iPad next year. The program will feature cloud syncing with other devices and a simpler interface than the desktop version.[36]
Camera Raw[edit]
With the Camera Raw plug-in, raw images can be processed without the use of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, along with other image file formats such as JPEG, TIFF, or PNG. The plug-in allows users to remove noise without the side-effect of over-sharpening, add grain, and even perform post-crop vignetting.[34]
3D printing tools[edit]
From version 14.1, users can create and edit designs for 3D printing. Artists can add color, adjust the shape or rotate the angles of imported models, or design original 3D models from scratch.[37]
Color replacement tool[edit]
The Color Replacement Tool allows the user to change the color, while maintaining the highlights and shadows of the original image, of pieces of the image. By selecting Brushs and right clicking, the Color Replacement Tool is the third option down. What is important to note with this tool is the foreground color. The foreground color is what will be applied when painting along the chosen part of the image with the Color Replacement tool.
Cultural impact[edit]
Photoshop and derivatives such as Photoshopped (or just Shopped) have become verbs that are sometimes used to refer to images edited by Photoshop,[38] or any image manipulating program. Such derivatives are discouraged by Adobe[4] because, in order to maintain validity and protect the trademark from becoming generic, trademarks must be used as proper nouns.

Version history[edit]Older versions[edit]
Photoshop's naming scheme was initially based on version numbers. Adobe published thirteen versions (major and minor changes) before the October 2003 introduction of Creative Suite branding. In February 2013 Adobe donated the source code of the 1990 1.0.1 version of Photoshop to the Computer History Museum.[39][40]
CS[edit]
The first Photoshop CS was commercially released in October 2003 as the eighth major version of Photoshop. Photoshop CS increased user control with a reworked file browser augmenting search versatility, sorting and sharing capabilities and the Histogram Palette which monitors changes in the image as they are made to the document. Match Color was also introduced in CS, which reads color data to achieve a uniform expression throughout a series of pictures.[41]
CS2[edit]
Photoshop CS2, released in May 2005, expanded on its predecessor with a new set of tools and features. It included an upgraded Spot Healing Brush, which is mainly used for handling common photographic problems such as blemishes, red-eye, noise, blurring and lens distortion. One of the most significant inclusions in CS2 was the implementation of Smart Objects, which allows users to scale and transform images and vector illustrations without losing image quality, as well as create linked duplicates of embedded graphics so that a single edit updates across multiple iterations.[42]
Adobe responded to feedback from the professional media industry by implementing non-destructive editing as well as the producing and modifying of 32-Bit High Dynamic Range (HDR) images, which are optimal for 3D rendering and advanced compositing. FireWire Previews could also be viewed on a monitor via a direct export feature.[42]
Photoshop CS2 brought the Vanishing Point and Image Warping tools.[42] Vanishing Point makes tedious graphic and photo retouching endeavors much simpler by letting users clone, paint and transform image objects while maintaining visual perspective. Image Warping makes it easy to digitally distort an image into a shape by choosing on-demand presets or by dragging control points.[42]
The File Browser was upgraded to Adobe Bridge, which functioned as a hub for productivity, imagery and creativity, providing multi-view file browsing and smooth cross-product integration across Adobe Creative Suite 2 software.[42] Adobe Bridge also provided access to Adobe Stock Photos, a new stock photography service that offered users one-stop shopping across five elite stock image providers to deliver high-quality, royalty-free images for layout and design.
Camera Raw version 3.0 was a new addition in CS2, and it allowed settings for multiple raw files to be modified simultaneously. In addition, processing multiple raw files to other formats including JPEG, TIFF, DNG or PSD, could be done in the background without executing Photoshop itself.[42]
Photoshop CS2 brought a streamlined interface, making it easier to access features for specific instances. In CS2 users were also given the ability to create their own custom presets, which was meant to save time and increase productivity.[42]
CS2 activation servers' shutdown: In January 2013, Adobe Photoshop CS2 (9.0), with some other CS2 products, was released with an official serial number, due to the technical glitch in Adobe's CS2 activation servers (see Creative Suite 1 and 2).
CS3[edit]
Smart Objects display filters without altering the original image (here on Mac OS X)
CS3 improves on features from previous versions of Photoshop and introduces new tools. One of the most significant is the streamlined interface which allows increased performance, speed, and efficiency. There is also improved support for Camera RAW files which allow users to process images with higher speed and conversion quality. CS3 supports over 150 RAW formats as well as JPEG, TIFF and PDF.[43] Enhancements were made to the Black and White Conversion, Brightness and Contrast Adjustment and Vanishing Point Module tools. The Black and White adjustment option improves control over manual grayscale conversions with a dialog box similar to that of Channel Mixer. There is more control over print options and better management with Adobe Bridge. The Clone Source palette is introduced, adding more options to the clone stamp tool. Other features include the nondestructive Smart Filters, optimizing graphics for mobile devices,[44] Fill Light and Dust Busting tools.[43] Compositing is assisted with Photoshop's new Quick Selection and Refine Edge tools and improved image stitching technology.[45]
CS3 Extended includes everything in CS3 and additional features. There are tools for 3D graphic file formats, video enhancement and animation, and comprehensive image measurement and analysis tools with DICOM file support.[46] The 3D graphic formats allow 3D content to be incorporated into 2D compositions. As for video editing, CS3 supports layers and video formatting so users can edit video files per frame.[43]
CS3 and CS3 Extended were released in April 2007 to the United States and Canada. They were also made available through Adobe's online store and Adobe Authorized Resellers. Both CS3 and CS3 Extended are offered as either a stand-alone application or feature of Adobe Creative Suite. Both products are compatible with Intel-based Macs and PowerPCs, supporting Windows XP and Windows Vista.[43] CS3 is the first release of Photoshop that will run natively on Macs with Intel processors: previous versions can only run through the translation layer Rosetta, and will not run at all on Macs running Mac OS X 10.7 or later.
CS4[edit]
CS4 features smoother panning and zooming, allowing faster image editing at a high magnification. The interface is more simplified with its tab-based interface[47] making it cleaner to work with. Photoshop CS4 features a new 3D engine allowing the conversion of gradient maps to 3D objects, adding depth to layers and text, and getting print-quality output with the new ray-tracing rendering engine. It supports common 3D formats; the new Adjustment and Mask Panels; Content-aware scaling (seam carving[48]); Fluid Canvas Rotation and File display options.[49] The Content-aware scaling allows users to intelligently size and scale images, and the Canvas Rotation tool makes it easier to rotate and edit images from any angle.[47]
Adobe released Photoshop CS4 Extended, which has the features of Adobe Photoshop CS4, plus capabilities for scientific imaging, 3D, motion graphics, accurate image analysis and high-end film and video users. The faster 3D engine allows users to paint directly on 3D models, wrap 2D images around 3D shapes and animate 3D objects.[47] As the successor to Photoshop CS3, Photoshop CS4 is the first x64 edition of Photoshop on consumer computers for Windows.[50] The color correction tool has also been improved significantly.[47]
CS4 and CS4 Extended were released on October 15, 2008. They were also made available through Adobe's online store and Adobe Authorized Resellers. Both CS4 and CS4 Extended are offered as either a stand-alone application or feature of Adobe Creative Suite. Both products are compatible with Intel-based Mac OS X and PowerPCs, supporting Windows XP and Windows Vista.[47]
Photoshop Cc IpadCS5[edit]
A 2D landscape designed in Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended
Photoshop CS5 was launched on April 12, 2010.[51] In a video posted on its official Facebook page, the development team revealed the new technologies under development, including three-dimensional brushes and warping tools.[52]
In May 2011, Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 (CS5.5) was released, with new versions of some of the applications. Its version of Photoshop, 12.1, is identical to the concurrently released update for Photoshop CS5, version 12.0.4, except for support for the new subscription pricing that was introduced with CS5.5.[53]
CS5 introduces new tools such as the Content-Aware Fill, Refine Edge, Mixer Brush, Bristle Tips and Puppet Warp. The community also had a hand in the additions made to CS5 as 30 new features and improvements were included by request. These include automatic image straightening, the Rule-of-Thirds cropping tool, color pickup, and saving a 16-bit image as a JPEG. Another feature includes the Adobe Mini Bridge, which allows for efficient file browsing and management.[54]
CS5 Extended includes everything in CS5 plus features in 3D and video editing. A new materials library was added, providing more options such as Chrome, Glass, and Cork. The new Shadow Catcher tool can be used to further enhance 3D objects. For motion graphics, the tools can be applied to over more than one frame in a video sequence.[54]
CS5 and CS5 Extended were made available through Adobe's online store, Adobe Authorized Resellers and Adobe direct sales. Both CS5 and CS5 Extended are offered as either a stand-alone application or a feature of Adobe Creative Suite 5. Both products are compatible with Intel-based Mac OS X and Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.[55]
CS6[edit]
Photoshop CS6, released in May 2012, added new creative design tools and provided a redesigned interface[56] with a focus on enhanced performance. New features have been added to the Content-Aware tool such as the Content-Aware Patch and Content-Aware Move.[57]
Adobe Photoshop CS6 brought a suite of tools for video editing. Color and exposure adjustments, as well as layers, are among a few things that are featured in this new editor. Upon completion of editing, the user is presented with a handful of options of exporting into a few popular formats.[58]
CS6 brings the 'straighten' tool to Photoshop, where a user simply draws a line anywhere on an image, and the canvas will reorient itself so that the line drawn becomes horizontal, and adjusts the media accordingly. This was created with the intention that users will draw a line parallel to a plane in the image, and reorient the image to that plane to more easily achieve certain perspectives.[58]
CS6 allows background saving, which means that while another document is compiling and archiving itself, it is possible to simultaneously edit an image. CS6 also features a customizable auto-save feature, preventing any work from being lost.[58]

With version 13.1.3, Adobe dropped support for Windows XP (including Windows XP Professional x64 Edition); thus, the last version that works on Windows XP is 13.0.1. Adobe also announced that CS6 will be the last suite sold with perpetual licenses in favor of the new Creative Cloud subscriptions, though they will continue to provide OS compatibility support as well as bug fixes and security updates as necessary.[59]
Starting January 09, 2017, CS6 is no longer available for purchase, making a Creative Cloud license the only purchase option going forward.[60]
CC[edit]
Photoshop CC (14.0) was launched on June 18, 2013. As the next major version after CS6, it is only available as part of a Creative Cloud subscription. Major features in this version include All-new Smart Sharpen, Intelligent Upsampling, and Camera Shake Reduction for reducing blur caused by camera shake. Editable Rounded Rectangles and an update to Adobe Camera Raw (8.0) were also included.[61]
Since the initial launch, Adobe has released two additional feature-bearing updates. The first, version 14.1, was launched on September 9, 2013. The major features in this version were Adobe Generator, a Node.js-based platform for creating plug-ins for Photoshop. Photoshop 14.1 shipped with two plug-ins, one to automatically generate image assets based on an extension in the layer name, and another to automatically generate assets for Adobe Edge Reflow.[62]
Version 14.2 was released on January 15, 2014. Major features include Perspective Warp, Linked Smart Objects, and 3D Printing support.[63]
CC 2014[edit]
Photoshop CC 2014 (15.0) was released on June 18, 2014. CC 2014 features improvements to content-aware tools, two new blur tools (spin blur and path blur) and a new focus mask feature that enables the user to select parts of an image based on whether they are in focus or not. Other minor improvements have been made, including speed increases for certain tasks.[64][65]
CC 2015[edit]
Photoshop CC 2015 was released on June 15, 2015. Adobe added various creative features including Adobe Stock, which is a library of custom stock images. It also includes and have the ability to have more than one layer style.[66] For example, in the older versions of Photoshop, only one shadow could be used for a layer but in CC 2015, up to ten are available. Other minor features like Export As, which is a form of the Save For Web in CC 2014 were also added. The updated UI as of November 30, 2015 delivers a cleaner and more consistent look throughout Photoshop, and the user can quickly perform common tasks using a new set of gestures on touch-enabled devices like Microsoft Surface Pro.[67] CC 2015 also marks the 25th anniversary of Photoshop.[68]
CC 2017[edit]
Photoshop CC 2017 was released on November 2, 2016. It introduced a new template selector when creating new documents, the ability to search for tools, panels and help articles for Photoshop, support for SVG OpenType fonts and other small improvements. In December 2016, a minor update was released to include support for the MacBook Pro Touch Bar.
CC 2018[edit]
Photoshop CC 2018 was released on October 18, 2017. It featured an overhaul to the brush organization system, allowing for more properties (such as color and opacity) to be saved per-brush and for brushes to be categorized in folders and sub-folders. It also added brush stroke smoothing, and over 1000 brushes created by Kyle T. Webster (following Adobe's acquisition of his website, KyleBrush.com[69]). A Curvature Pen tool, similar to the one in Illustrator, was added, allowing for faster creation of Bézier paths. Other additions were Lightroom Photo access, Variable font support, select subject, copy-paste layers, enhanced tooltips, 360 panorama and HEIF support, PNG compression, increased maximum zoom level, symmetry mode, algorithm improvements to Face-aware and selection tools, color and luminance range masking, improved image resizing, and performance improvements to file opening, filters, and brush strokes.[70]
CC 2019[edit]
Photoshop CC 2019 was released on October 15, 2018. Beginning with Photoshop CC 2019 (version 20.0), the 32-bit version of Windows is no longer supported. This version Introduced whole new features including a new tool called Frame Tool to create placeholder frames for images. It also added New Content-Aware Fill, Multiple undo mode, auto-commitment, prevent accidental panel moves with lock workspace. Live blend mode previews are added, allowing for faster scrolling over different blend mode options in the layers panel. Other additions were Color Wheel, Transform proportionally without Shift key, Distribute spacing like in Illustrator, ability to see longer layer names, match font with Japanese fonts, flip document view, scale UI to font, reference point hidden by default, new compositing engine, which provides a more modern compositing architecture is added which is more easier to optimize on all platforms.
Photoshop Mix[edit]
Photoshop Mix is an application designed as a replacement for Photoshop Touch specifically for tablets and touchscreen devices. It includes many of the features of the personal computer version, including layers, selection tools, adjustments, and filters. Edited files could be synced with Adobe Creative Cloud. Photoshop Mix is available on iOS and Android. It has 2 siblings, Photoshop Fix (a Photo Correction app), and Photoshop Sketch (a light drawing tool). All require iOS 9.0 or later. Android versions could be installed on any Android handset (4.0 and up) and tablets (3.1 and up).[71]

Review
Adobe Photoshop CC is the latest version of the world famous photo editing tool developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated back in 1990. Even though is hard to believe, Photoshop started out as a program to view greyscale images on monochromatic screens. Many years have passed since then, and the program has been turned into one of the most powerful and versatile photo editing tools ever seen. This last version offers several major improvements, new tools and the same fluid workflow that makes Photoshop the program of choice for millions of people all over the world.
This last version offers several major improvements, new tools and the same fluid workflow
Even though the program was originally released as a utility for enhancing pictures, that use is only the tip of the iceberg, as Photoshop can be used for almost anything you can imagine. You can create complex photomontages, vector designs, posters and basically any kind of photo manipulation. Moreover, Photoshop is commonly used by digital artists and designers to create stunning pieces of artwork from scratch either by using its preset brushes and adjustments or by installing plugins or custom brushes to make their work easier.
Unlike older versions of the Adobe Suite, this program is now part of Adobe Creative Cloud, a service designed to unify the whole suite. Creative Cloud offers downloadable desktop versions of all Adobeâs programs and grants instant access to updates and fixes using cloud technology. You can also have your files organized across several computers, so you can work with them anywhere. Besides, Adobe Creative Cloud offers an easy way to share your creations with the community and collaborate on projects of interest using tools like Story CC, all from your desktop.
The interface of the program remains almost the same as in CS6 version. The bar containing every tool you need to work is placed on the left side of the screen. The adjustments, file options and filters can be accessed through the bar located at the top of the screen. The right side of the screen houses a panel that displays layers, channels and paths.

This settings are fully customizable; you are free to remove tools that youâre not going to use for your current work or add new panels to the interface and attach them anywhere you want to create your own workspace. This is quite useful when it comes to creating different workspaces for different purposes, as you can save your new workspace to use it whenever you need it. If you mess things up, you can always reset the default interface and try again.
New Features and Tools
Adobe Photoshop CC brings in lots of tools that will make your work easier. Smart Sharpen filter can be used to sharpen your image in a much more clean way, minimizing common problems such as halos or noise. The filter analyzes the image to maximize clarity and give it a high-quality, natural looking result. Perspective Warp allows you to easily adjust the perspective of a specific part of your picture without affecting any other areas surrounding it. This can be used to change the viewpoint of any object you want, such as changing a wide-angle shot into a telephoto shot. Moreover, Perspective Warp allows you to composite images seamlessly, using different camera positions or vanishing points.
You can now add different photographic blurs using intuitive on-canvas controls. You can blur everything to sharpen a focal point, create tilt-shift effects or create varying levels of blurriness within the same image. Besides, your blurs wonât be destructive thanks to the Smart Object support. This feature allows you to apply Blur or Liquify effects without harming the original image. You can edit and remove these effects whenever you want, even after saving your project.
As Photoshop is now part of the Adobe Creative Cloud, it provides you with several powerful video editing features such as the advanced 3D image analysis tools that were also present in Adobe Photoshop Extended. Moreover, you can now make the most of the Adobe Reflow CC integration, as it allows you to import assets from Photoshop with just a click. You can then adjust your layouts so they adjust to any kind of device.
3D printers are one of the most clever inventions nowadays, and Photoshop clearly wants to stay connected with this technology. This is why developers included the 3D Printing feature in this new CC version. 3D Printing allows you to view 3D designs and effortlessly refine and preview your final model. The 3D Printing feature supports models created with other 3D programs like Cinema 4D or Autodesk Maya. Moreover, you can print your design directly to a local 3D printer or use an online service for it. You can apply 3D effects to your designs using Photoshop, such as refractions or shadows when you paint on texture maps or 3D objects. Photoshop allows you to work with 3D models with a panel that features many of the well-known tools from the Layers panel.
One of the coolest tools added to this CC version is the Camera Shake Reduction. This helps you stabilize a blurry shot, whether the blur was caused because of a long focal length or a slow shutter speed. Camera Shake reduction analyzes the original trajectory of the shot and restores its sharpness. Bear in mind that this tool wonât be suitable for all blurry shots. Adobe Photoshop CC also comes with real-time image assets generation. This technology saves tagged layers and groups of layers as individual images while you work with Photoshop. You are free to choose the format these are saved in and Photoshop will collect them into a single folder for you.
Linked Smart Objects enables you to use linked smart objects that reference other files placed on your network drive or your local system. These can be repurposed across several Photoshop documents easily, giving smaller and more manageable files that will save you some hard-disk space. Linked Smart Objects is perfect for collaborations while it helps you work more efficiently. Adobe Generator grants you deeper access to Photoshop files, this makes things easier when it comes to using intelligent tools that automate different tasks, providing an smoother workflow.
Intelligent Upsampling is a useful tool that allows you to enlarge any low-resolution image so its quality becomes decent enough in print. It also works for the opposite action; you can choose a large image and reduce it to poster size without preserving all details and avoiding noise. Intuitive Path Editing enables you to modify paths in fewer clicks. You can select multiple shapes, paths or vector masks simultaneously (even across layers) and then resize and edit these shapes before or after they are created.
As it was expected, the famous plugin Camera RAW is still with us in the Adobe Photoshop CC version, even though itâs not a plugin anymore, as itâs integrated within Adobe Photoshop. Camera RAW is a powerful image processing engine used mostly by photographers to have full control of their pictures. The new Camera RAW 8 applies camera raw edits as a filter to any file or any layer you want inside the program, to improve them the way you need. Camera RAW 8 offers a much more accurate way to fix distortions, heal images and create vignettes.
Adobe Photoshop CC features Behance integration, which means you can share your work in progress and show your upcoming creations to the community to get feedback. You can also post your finished work to ProSite, a fully customizable portfolio designed for professionals. With Adobe Photoshop CC you can keep working without worries as you save a large file in the background. The Auto-Recovery option will take care of your edits without interrupting your work.
The improved Content-Aware technologies allow you to take full control and edit images accurately without too much effort. You just have to select the object you want to edit, then rescale, remove or reposition it, and the Content-Aware technology will do the rest by patching, filling, extending or recomposing your picture. You can also save time on other common tasks thanks to some workflow enhancements that enable you to create a path by using modifier keys or even move a path with the spacebar.
The new Type styles let you save your formatting as a preset, so your work wonât be lost after hours getting your text to look right. Later on you can apply your Type style to other text with just a click. Moreover, you can define different type styles and use them across different Photoshop documents. You can see a realistic preview of your type and how it will look on the web with an option that simulates the anti-aliasing of your own system.
