Photoshop includes a few versions of
the pen tool. The pen tool creates precise paths that can be manipulated
using anchor points.[25] The freeform 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.[29]
Measuring
and Navigation
The eyedropper tool selects a
color from an area of the image that is clicked, and samples it for future use.[25]
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.[25]
Selection
The marquee tool can make
selections that are single row, single column, rectangular and elliptical.[25]
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.[25]
The lasso tool is similar to the marquee tool, however, the user can
make a custom selection by drawing it freehand. In addition, the lasso tool can
make magnetic and polygonal selections.[25]
Typing
Photoshop also provides tools for
adding and editing text. The type tools create an area where text can be
entered, and the type mask tools create a selection area that has the
shape of text.[25] The type tool creates vector-based text, so
symbols, letters and numbers in various fonts and colors can be re-sized while
maintaining the same resolution.[30]
Retouching
There are several tools that are
used for retouching, manipulating and adjusting photos, such as the clone
stamp, eraser, burn, dodge, smudge and blur
tools.[25] The clone stamp tool samples a selected portion of an
image, and duplicates it over another area using a brush that can be adjusted
in size, flow and opacity.[25] The smudge tool, when dragged across
part of an image, stretches and smudges pixels as if they are real paint, and
the blur tool softens portions of an image by lowering the amount of detail
within the adjusted area.[31] The eraser tool removes pixels from an
image, and the magic eraser tool selects areas of solid color and erases
them.[25] The burn and dodge tools, which are derived from
traditional methods of adjusting the exposure on printed photos, have opposite
effects; the burn tool darkens selected areas, and the dodge tool lightens
them.[31]
Content-aware
Content-awareness is a useful aspect
of Photoshop where image editing is done automatically and intelligently. It
comes in two forms, content-aware scaling, and content-aware filling, in which elements in a
background automatically recompose according to the areas a user of the program
decides to fill or scale. More specifically, content-aware scaling works by
rescaling an image and causing its content to adapt to the new dimensions and
preserving important areas of it. Content-aware filling functions by matching
tone, color, and noise of an area of the image that contained an object or
detail in which the user decides to remove.[32]
Healing
Tools
With improvement retouching tools
like the Clone Stamp tool and Healing Brush tool, imperfections
of an image can easily be removed. These tools essentially function by locating
a source point (or multiple source points) that can be scaled or rotated in
order to cover an imperfection or unwanted detail in a specific area of an
image.[32]
Puppet
Warp
Similar to the content-aware tool,
the puppet warp tool reveals Photoshop’s intelligence by allowing a user
to reposition an object in an image such as a flower or arm. This is done by
using points that outline the structure of an object and easily repositioning
in the wanted orientation.[32]
Video
Editing
In Adobe CS5 Extended edition, video editing is comprehensive and
efficient with a broad compatibility of video file formats such as MOV, AVI,
FLC, MPEG-4, and FLV formats and easy workflow. Using
simple combination of keys video layers can easily be modified, with other
features such as adding text and the creation of animations using single
images.[33]
3D
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 are all possible with this version of Photoshop. Realism can
also be added to an image using the 3D features of Photoshop such as animating
image-based lights and depth of field.[33]
Mobile
Integration
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 AdobeEazel 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.[32]
Camera
Raw
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 JPEGs, TIFFs, or PNGs. The plug-in allows
users to remove noise without the side-effect of over-sharpening, add grain,
and even perform post-crop vignetting.[33]
