Adobe Launches Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop CS5 Extended
For immediate release
Milestone Release Celebrates 20 Years of Unrivaled Image Editing and Innovation
SAN JOSE, Calif., — April 12, 2010 — Adobe
Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced Adobe® Photoshop®
CS5 and Photoshop CS5 Extended software, must-have releases of the
professional industry standard for digital imaging. With millions of
users celebrating the product’s 20th anniversary this year, Photoshop
CS5 builds upon a rich history of innovation and leadership with
groundbreaking features and performance gains that boost creativity and
workflow efficiency. Packing in more technological advancements from
Adobe Labs than any other release and incorporating enhancements to
everyday tasks requested by the Photoshop community, the software has
greater intelligence and awareness of the content within images,
allowing for complex and magical manipulation in just a few clicks.
Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended delivers everything in Photoshop CS5, as
well as advanced tools for 3-D which address the unique needs of the
video, Web, medical, manufacturing and engineering industries.
Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop CS5 Extended will be available
as stand-alone applications or key components of the Adobe Creative
Suite® 5 family (see separate releases).
“The past two decades have demonstrated an amazing
interplay between customers who want to push the limits of their
personal creativity and a passionate team of Adobe engineers who make
those visions a reality,” said Kevin Connor, vice president of product
management for professional digital imaging at Adobe. “We experienced
this firsthand when we posted a ‘sneak peek’ video of the team’s work on
the Content Aware Fill feature a few weeks ago. It quickly became the
number one viral video online, with close to 2 million views and its
‘magic’ was one of the top trending Twitter topics of discussion. This
version of Photoshop has some of the most innovative and extraordinary
technologies to ever come from our labs and clearly customers are
already clamoring for it.”
Redefining the Image-Editing Experience
Now a native 64-bit
application on both Mac and Windows®, Photoshop CS5 delivers superior
tools and creative control so users can perform advanced image
manipulations and compositing with ease. Revolutionary image
intelligence behind Content-Aware Fill magically removes any image
detail or object, examines the surroundings and seamlessly fills in the
space left behind. Lighting, tone and noise of the surrounding area
match perfectly, looking as if the removed content never existed. New
Refine Edge makes nearly-impossible image selections possible. This
innovative technology precisely detects and masks the trickiest types of
edges, such as hair and foliage, while eliminating background color
contamination.
For photographers, Photoshop CS5 now offers next-generation
high dynamic range (HDR) capabilities. When combining multiple
exposures into a single HDR image, Photoshop CS5 preserves the full
tonal range of a scene with unprecedented speed and accuracy. The new
HDR Pro offers exceptional ghost artifact removal and greater tone
mapping and adjustment control. With HDR toning, users can emulate the
striking look of an HDR image with any single-exposure image.
