I. Introduction To Photoshop

• Adobe Photoshop is a graphics editing program developed and published by Adobe Systems and is one of the most powerful image modification programs on the market today.

• In 1987, Thomas Knoll, a PhD student at the University of Michigan, began writing a program on his Macintosh Plus to display grayscale images on a monochrome display.

• Thomas took a six month break from his studies in 1988 to collaborate with his brother on the program, which had been renamed ImagePro.

I. Introduction To Photoshop (Cntd)

• 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.

• During this time, John traveled to Silicon Valley and gave a demonstration of the program to engineers at Apple Computer Inc. and Russell Brown, art director at Adobe.

• Both showings were successful, and Adobe decided to purchase the license to distribute in September 1988. While John worked on plug-ins in California, Thomas remained in Ann Arbor writing program code. Photoshop 1.0 was released in 1990 for Macintosh exclusively.

I. Introduction To Photoshop (Cntd)

• Photoshop's popularity, combined with its high retail price, makes Photoshop's piracy rate relatively high.

• It is so dominant that when we notice an image has been altered, we say it has been “Photoshopped.”

• It is the current market leader for commercial bitmap and image manipulation software, and is the flagship product of Adobe Systems.

• It has been described as "an industry standard for graphics professionals" and was one of the early "killer applications" on the PC.

II. Release History

• The Adobe Photoshop was created by independent creators Thomas and John Knoll in the summer of 1988. The license to distribute the program was purchased by Adobe Systems in September 1988.

1. Early versions

III. Features

Photoshop has strong ties with other Adobe software for media editing, animation, and authoring.

III. Features

The .PSD (Photoshop Document), Photoshop's native

format, stores an image with support for most imaging

options available in Photoshop. These include layers

with masks, color spaces, ICC profiles, transparency,

text, alpha channels and spot colors, clipping paths,

and duotone settings.

III. Features

Photoshop is a pixel-based image editor, unlike Adobe Illustrator, which is a vector-based image editor.

III. Features

Photoshop has the ability to read

and write raster and vector image

formats such

as .EPS, .PNG, .GIF, .JPEG, and

Fireworks.

IV. Photoshop CS3 & CS4

1. Introduction

• Photoshop has strong ties with other Adobe software for media editing, animation, and authoring. The .PSD (Photoshop Document), Photoshop's native format, stores an image with support for most imaging options available in Photoshop.

• Photoshop's popularity means that the .PSD format is widely used, and it is supported to some extent by most competing software.

• The .PSD file format can be exported to and from Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Premiere Pro, and After Effects, to make professional standard DVDs and provide non-linear editing and special effects services, such as backgrounds, textures, and so on, for television, film, and the Web. Photoshop is a pixel-based image editor, unlike Adobe Illustrator, which is a vector-based image editor.

2. Photoshop CS3

• Photoshop CS3 is marketed with three main components of improvement over previous versions: Work more productively, edit with unrivalled power, and composite with breakthrough tools.

• New features propagating productivity include streamlined interface, improved Camera Raw, better control over print options, enhanced PDF support, and better management with Adobe Bridge.

• Editing tools new to CS3 are the Clone Source palette and nondestructive Smart Filters, and other features such as the Brightness/Contrast adjustment and Vanishing Point module were enhanced.

3. Photoshop CS4

• Photoshop's popularity means that the .PSD format is widely used, and it is supported to some extent by most competing software.

• The .PSD file format can be exported to and from Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Premiere Pro, and After Effects, to make professional standard DVDs and provide non-linear editing and special effects services, such as backgrounds, textures, and so on, for television, film, and the Web.

• Photoshop is a pixel-based image editor, unlike Adobe Illustrator, which is a vector-based image editor.

V. Plug-ins & Customer Market

• Photoshop plug-ins are add-on programs aimed at providing additional image effects or performing tasks that are impossible or hard to fulfill using Adobe Photoshop alone.

• Plug-ins can be opened from within Photoshop and several other image editing programs and act like mini-editors that modify the image.

4. Customer Market

• While Photoshop is the industry standard image editing program for professional raster graphics and other digital art, its relatively high suggested retail price has led to a number of competing graphics tools, such as GIMP and Paint.NET, being made available at lower prices or as freeware for the amateur market.

• To compete in this market, and to counter unusually high rates of piracy of its high end products, the company introduced a consumer-oriented version of Photoshop as Adobe Photoshop Elements.

V. Plug-ins & Customer Market

4. Customer Market (Contd.)

• A more user-friendly interface and new tools such as the "red-eye" reduction brush were aimed firmly at the more casual image editor.

• Many professional features were omitted.

• Removing CMYK functionality, for example, made Elements unsuitable for commercial prepress work.

VI. Conclusion

• Photoshop is the current market leader for commercial bitmap and image manipulation software, and is the flagship product of Adobe Systems.

• Photoshop has strong ties with other Adobe software for media editing, animation, and authoring.

• Photoshop functionality can be extended by add-on programs called Photoshop plugins which act like mini-editors that modify the image.

• A more user-friendly interface and new tools such as the "red-eye" reduction brush were aimed firmly at the more casual image editor.
