Adobe PhotoShop#REDIRECT Adobe Photoshop Adobe PhotoshopAdobe Photoshop is a bitmap graphics editor (with some text and vector graphics capabilities) developed and published by Adobe Systems. It is the market leader for commercial bitmap image manipulation. It is usually referred to simply as "Photoshop". As with most of Adobe's other applications, Photoshop is available for Mac OS and Microsoft Windows; versions up to Photoshop 7 can also be used with operating systems such as Linux using software such as CrossOver Office. Past versions of the program were ported to the Silicon Graphics IRIX platform, but official support for this port was dropped after version 3. ==Features== Although primarily designed to edit images for paper-based printing, Photoshop is used increasingly to produce images for the World Wide Web. Recent versions bundle a related application, Adobe ImageReady, to provide a more specialized set of tools for this purpose. Photoshop also has strong links with software for media editing, animation and authoring. It works with Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Premiere, Adobe After Effects & Adobe Encore DVD to make professional standard DVDs, provide non-linear editing and special effects services such as backgrounds, textures and so on for television, film and the web. Photoshop's native file format (PSD or PDD) can be exported to and from Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Premiere, After Effects and Adobe Encore DVD. Photoshop CS broadly supports making menus and buttons for DVDs. For PSD or PDD files exported as a menu or button, it only needs to have layers, nested in layer sets with a cueing format and Adobe Encore DVD reads them as buttons or menus. PSD or PDD is a widely accepted file format. Competing bitmap image editing programs (such as Macromedia Fireworks, Corel Photo-Paint, Discreet Combustion, Pixel32, WinImages, GIMP, etc.) can import and edit layered PSD or PDD files. Photoshop can deal with a number of different color spaces: * sRGB color space (white point=D65) - "RGB" in photoshop * Lab color space (white point=D50) - "Lab" in photoshop * CMYK color model * Grayscale The most recent version, as of 2005, is version 9. This iteration of the program is marketed as "Photoshop CS2". "CS" reflects its integration with "Adobe Creative Suite" and a number "2" because it is the second version released since Adobe rebranded their products under the CS umbrella. In an effort to break away with previous versions of the application and to reinforce its belonging with the new line of products, Photoshop even dropped one classic graphic feature from its packaging: the Photoshop eye, which was present in different manifestations from versions 3 to 7. Photoshop CS versions now use feathers as a form of identification. Photoshop CS features a revolutionary command : 'Shadow/Highlight' which allow user to 'suppress' highlights and/or 'push out' shadows while maintaining most of the 'image details' (that is, the histogram would remain virtually unchanged). It also comes with ''Adobe Camera RAW'', a plugin developed by Thomas Knoll which has the ability to read several Camera raw file formats from various Digital camera and import them directly into Photoshop. A preliminary version of the RAW plugin was also available for Photoshop 7.0.1 as a $99 United states dollar optional purchase. Photoshop is generally considered one of the best image editing programs for raster graphics, but it has the disadvantage of a high price. This has helped a number of List of bitmap graphics editors to become popular, some of which are extremely powerful. In an attempt to recapture this lost market share, Adobe introduced a much less expensive program called Photoshop Elements that consists of Photoshop minus some of the high-end output capabilities. Consequently, Elements is useful for editing photos from consumer digital cameras and for doctoring images for the web but considerably less so for professional prepress work. Photoshop Elements retails for $99 United States dollar price, compared to Photoshop's retail price of $649 USD. ==Cultural impact== The term photoshopping is a neologism, meaning "editing an image", regardless of the program used. Adobe discourages use of the term [http://www.adobe.com/misc/trade.html#photoshop] out of fear that it will undermine the company's trademark; an alternate term which leaves out the Photoshop reference is "photochop". The term ''photoshop'' is also used as a noun referring to the altered image. This is specially popular amongst members of the websites Something Awful, Fark.com, B3ta and Worth1000 where photoshopping is an institution, with the goal of altering an image, subtly or blatantly, to make it humorous or just clever, by appealing to both the slapstick- or intellectual-level of humor, often via the use of obscure in-jokes and pop culture references. A very recent and even more obscure variety of this, is the so called "Fake": extreme parodying of the current celebrity culture, by blending famous faces with nude or pornographic images. Photoshop contest in all these varieties have become a favourite pastime for many professional and amateur users of the software. The term is sometimes used with a derogatory intent by artists to refer to images that have been retouched instead of originally produced. A common issue amongst users of all skill levels is the ability to avoid in one's work what is referred to as "the Photoshop look" (although such an issue is intrinsic to many graphics programs). In recent times, Photoshop has been used for altering and drawing vehicles, usually cars, in a process known as 'digi-modding','photoshopping' or 'virtual-tuning'. About twenty websites in recent years have been established. The rate of expansion of this 'new' type of art is huge. Although the websites that provide a base for people to 'showoff' their 'chops', 'Photo-manipulated' cars have been in automotive magazines for years. ==Development== The brothers Thomas Knoll and John Knoll began development on Photoshop in 1987. Version 1 was released by Adobe in 1990. The program was intended from the start as a tool for manipulating images that were digitized by a scanner (computing), which was a rare and expensive device in those days. ===Release history=== {| cellpadding="5" rules="all" style="border: 1px solid #000000; border-collapse: collapse;" !

This graphic is different in each version, and is based on the code name for that version (e.g., "Dark Matter" for Photoshop CS or "Big Electric Cat" for version 4). This also works in ImageReady and several other Adobe applications. In Photoshop CS, holding down Alt while selecting "Palette Options" on the layer palette will open a window with a small picture of Merlin. ==Alternatives== There are many other bitmap-graphics editors available, but none have come close to Photoshop's popularity among professionals. The closest competitors would be the open source GIMP and Paint.NET, and the commercial Pixel32, Macromedia Fireworks, Corel Photo-Paint, and Paint Shop Pro. ==See also== *Digital Negative Specification *Photoshop tennis *Photoshop contest *Wikipedia:Graphics tutorials *Photoshop tutorials *List of bitmap graphics editors *Comparison of bitmap graphics editors ===Related terms=== *2D computer graphics *Color *Color theory *Digital image *Digital watermark *Gamut *Graphics file format ==External links== ===Official websites=== *[http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/ Official Page] *[http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html Adobe Camera RAW] ===Other websites=== *[http://www.savva.com.au/forums/savva/forum/portal_content.asp Extensive List of Photoshop Tutorials on Special Effects] *[http://www.storyphoto.com/multimedia/multimedia_photoshop.html A history of Photoshop written on the application's tenth anniversary] *[http://www.photoshoptechniques.com/forum/index.php?s= A forum dedicated to users of Photoshop, where techniques and work can be shared] *[http://www.photoshopcafe.com/ Photoshop Cafe] *[http://www.worth1000.com/ Worth1000, are you worthy?

Adobe did not create Photoshop. It bought an existing product called "Barneyscan XP" that had already been commercially distributed, which it renamed, continued to develop, and published as "Photoshop". This means the release history is faulty. It omits the first commercial distribution of Photoshop, which was bundled with a scanner before Adobe had any involvement. Refer to this page for further information: http://www.storyphoto.com/multimedia/multimedia_photoshop.html Search for "Barneyscan XP" to see corroboration of that point. ==Re: page name change Photoshop to Adobe Photoshop== I changed the page name from Photoshop to include Adobe as our usual practice is to refer to such products by their proper name rather than their colloqiual name (c.f. Powerpoint, Excel etc). I don't think this is a big deal but thought I should leave a talk page note explaining my rationale as the page has had a long history at the old name. User:Pcb21 User_talk:Pcb21 08:34, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC) == I like GIMP better then Photoshop. == I still like the GIMP better than Photoshop. For one thing GIMP is 100% open source software. And I just find the enviroment nicer and more user friendly. == No HTML editing == Adobe did license the Opera technology, but it went into their GoLive product. Photoshop has no HTML editing capability. :Yup. I removed that line. --User:Minghong 15:44, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC) == GIMP v. Photoshop == It seems that the majority of people favouring GIMP do so beacuse it is open source, not because it is a particularly good product. I don't know much about GIMP myself, given that I'm quite happy with Photoshop, but it would be interesting to read any comments that cared to shed light on the two programs head-to-head.
