The Refine Edges dialog got enhanced to allow more precise masking (e.g. Adobe also delivers a free tool that allows you to create your own profiles with the Adobe Lens Profile Creator and the Adobe Camera Calibration Chart. Right now the cameras/lenses supported are quite limited. If your lens/camera combination is supported it makes the correction process very simple. These profiles can then be selected in the Lens Correction dialog: The Lens Correction in CS5 now also supports profile based Lens/Camera profiles. When you call the first time CS5 (first time during an editing session) you may see this message:ĬS5 loads lens profiles for use in the new updated Lens Correction tool. We hardly use Camera Raw directly anymore but use the same engine via Lightroom 3 Beta 2. The raw processing and noise removal got improved. If you use Lightroom 3 Beta 2 you actually get the same functionality. We are very happy about this new feature.
For some they maybe worth the upgrade to CS5 alone. The Content-Aware Brush and Fill help to make retouching faster and easier. Select Edit->Fill and use the Content-Aware mode.
We wanted to remove the antenna sticking into the image: There is a companion tool called: Content-Aware Fill.
This was actually a very simple sample but it can work in even more difficult situations. In the end the new Content-Aware Healing Brush saved us quiet some time. We use the normal Cloning Brush to do the rest:
The result is by no means perfect but most of the work is done quite well. We actually did not miss the wire while shooting but planned to remove them later.īrush over the wire (in Content-Aware mode of course) CS5 added a new mode that makes it even better.ĬS5 adds a new mode to the Healing Brush: Content-AwareĪs outdoor photographers we find wires everywhere. The Healing Brush was always a key feature in Photoshop for some years.
That is why we use the 32 bit version right now. Be aware that many of your plugins won't work in 64 bit.
The 64 bit version allows you to utilize more memory. Adobe had to re-write lots of code to allow this to happen as the basic UI platform for 64 bit changed. On the Mac you can now use Photoshop CS5 in 64 bit and 32 bit. Our main workstation is a MacPro for some time now becasue more and more tools require Mac Intel (e.g.
It got relegated as our printing machine using Mac OS X 10.4, Photoshop CS4 and Lightroom 2.x. This is the first version of Photoshop that won't support our trusty Quad Mac with Power PC. We want to talk about some of the main new features that we find interesting for photographers (we skip 3D entirely). Once it is again the time when Adobe releases a new version of Photoshop: Photoshop CS5 (Version 12). How do I know which version of Photoshop I have?Ĭick “Settings.” In the space that appears, click “Control Panel.” In the Window that opens, click on “Programs” and then “Programs and Features.” In the list that appears, look for Adobe Photoshop and you’ll find the specific version number."Integrating DOP Tools into your Workflow" The primary advantage of using the 64-bit version is to access amounts of RAM beyond what Photoshop can access when the 32-bit version is run. The 64-bit version of Photoshop enhances performance, especially in the way it uses RAM. What is the difference between Photoshop and Photoshop 64-bit? You can download the 32-bit version here. Photoshop CC (2014) and later installs the 64-bit version on a 64-bit OS by default. If the list starts with Windows Vista, then the application you selected is a 64-bit application. Here, check the “Run this program in compatibility mode for” box, and open the drop-down list. Right-click on it or press and hold and then select Properties.
