• "Photoshop CS3 improves help and video support"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: Adobe Photoshop CS2 trial

Photoshop is the professional standard in digital imaging, with an endless selection of drawing tools, filters, and color-adjustment capabilities for manipulating items in almost any way. Originally designed for bitmap images, Photoshop lets you create eye-catching typography by placing text on paths or within shapes, perform shadow and highlight correction, explore expanded color-matching features, parlay efficient layer comps, and preview, search, and share images. Oh, and it's also the premiere program for managing home digital printing.

CS3 Extended includes support for rendering and integrating 3D images into 2D composites and video layer editing. There's also a greatly modified help menu to take the edge off your learning curve, with built-in how-to's on Preparing Art for Other Applications, Printing Photos, Working with Color and Type, and more. From simply lightening dark photos to improving color and contrast, to adding objects or people that weren't originally in the picture, Photoshop is an excellent tool whose innovative features meet any professional need.

Though it's an excellent software tool, the trial version demands a lot of download time, hard drive space, and RAM for rendering and other heavy tasks. However, the trial is fully functional, letting you edit, save, print, and export files, making it easier to assess this expensive product. Keep in mind that Photoshop has a steep learning curve, so great results take time and training.

  "DO ANYTHING WITH THIS THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

  by arsenijcz on June 19, 2005

  Pros: This is the key to start a professional Photoshop and making virtually anything with this and your photos.

  When I have downloaded this software I knew right away that this is it!

  It is really easy to use and it is worth every penny.

  The price is a bit height but I have saved up and got it, and I am still using it very often and I am sure you will too.

  Even if you are not into photography and editing and everything like that I am sure you will be addicted to it like me.

  Give it a go and trust me it is really great

  Adobe Photoshop has always been number 1 in photo shops!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  "NO GRAFIC SOFTWARE'S BETTER THAN PHOTOSHOP"

  by white.lightning on March 17, 2006

  Pros: This is the best & not from yesterday ! Photoshop is leader from many years ago . CS2 doesn't let fans down : new efficient & useful features helpin users customize photo with unbelievable quality level (just like projectins of photos on squared or spheric objects) . Clean & precise , really makes users ideas become true .

  Cons: Warning : this is professional software : needs a lot of RAM to work well (...till 1Gb for complicated works...) , not simple to use cause of incredible number of parameters . I suggest not to install it unless u are professist , PHOTOSHOP may cause crashes & slow down pc if not used correctly . Be careful !
