Adobe Photoshop CS5 is Incredible and Phenomenal

On 12th April 2010, Adobe launched its much awaited Photoshop CS5 Creative Suite online. With its actual release date still slated for May 2010, let's check out all the new and advanced features of Adobe Photoshop CS5.

Adobe Photoshop CS5 software delivers breakthrough capabilities for superior image selections, image retouching, realistic painting, and 3D extrusions. It contains loads of new features, which not just make the complex designing work easy, but are so much fun to use.

Being a designer myself, two things that concern me the most are ease of use and effectiveness of software and Adobe Photoshop CS5 promises to deliver on both fronts. Be it all those impossible detailed selections or creating superior HRD images, it's as easy as it can get.

Here is the list of new features in Adobe Photoshop CS5, which would create a revolution in digital imagining. So go beyond the traditional digital imagining and have a look at the following features:

Extraordinary Painting Effects: Now create realistic and natural painting effects by the use of Mixer brush, textured brush, onscreen color picker and a lot more.

Content-Aware Fill: This is one of my favorite features in Photoshop CS5. You can let Photoshop fill the space magically when you remove image elements.

Complex Selections Made Easy: This is one of the most powerful features of Photoshop CS5. With the help of this feature you can easily select all the intricate image elements, such as hair, which was so difficult to select in all previous Photoshop versions.

Puppet Warp: All those who have used Flash CS4, would be familiar with Bone Selection Tool. Now on the similar lines Photoshop CS5 has Puppet Wrap in which you can precisely warp or stretch graphics, text, or image elements to create unique new looks for your designs.

Superior HRD Images: Now it doesn't matter if you don't have those expensive HRD cameras because with Photoshop CS5 it's now very easy to create photo-realistic or surreal HDR images with unprecedented speed, control, and accuracy. You can even give single-exposure photos the look of HDR.

Efficient Workflow: Straighten images automatically, choose colors from an onscreen color picker, adjust the opacity of many layers at once, and more.

Mini Bridge: Now get the best of both worlds with the inclusion of Mini Bridge panel in Photoshop extended software.

Raw Image Processing: This is an enhanced feature included in Photoshop CS5 for State-of-the-art raw image processing using Camera Raw 6 plug-in to nondestructively remove image noise while preserving color and details.

3D Extrusions with Adobe Repousse: Now you can create 3D logos and artwork from any text layer, selection, path, or layer mask with Adobe Repousse technology.

Enhancing 3D Realism: With Photoshop CS5, you can easily enhance your 3D objects, designs and models by easily adding shadow, lighting effects and materials like glass and chrome, and it was never so easy.

Faster Performance Across Platforms: If you have a 64 bit version of Windows 7 or Mac OS, you can enjoy 10 times faster image processing by taking advantage of cross-platform 64-bit support.

Phew! And that's not all. All the experts, who got a chance to work on Photoshop CS5, are already speaking great things about this software. And keeping in mind, the consistent advancement of features and ease of use with every new version of Photoshop, I personally can't wait to get my hands on this software.
