has always been the application of
choice for professional image
editing. And with the new features
and improvements that have been
implemented in version 7, its appeal
is now stronger than ever.
To
describe Photoshop as merely an
image editing application does not
do this package justice, as it can do
far more than that. For example it is
almost equally at home helping you
design and create entire Web pages
and print adverts as it is at
enhancing, re-touching or editing
photographs and other digital
images.
Every new version of Photoshop has
delivered significant, noteworthy
improvements. Witness: Photoshop
4.0 unveiled Layers and Actions;
Photoshop 5.0 brought us the History
Palette and Layer Styles; Photoshop
6.0 introduced Shapes. Hence,
Photoshop 7.0's perfunctory,
should-have-been-there-earlier
enhancements, such as the new file
browser and updated paint engine,
are a bit of a letdown.
We were most impressed with a
number of smaller features that we
predict will save skilled graphic
artists scads of time and effort. Two
new retouching tools-the Healing
Brush and Patch Device-are finest
described as very sensible cloning
brushes that may make scratches,
mud, and other imperfections
disappear automatically. They work
by blending the noise (or texture) of
selected source pixels with the
colour and shading of the target area.
The results are spectacular: You'll be
able to remove unwanted artifacts
whereas preserving the color and
shading details found within the
original image. In addition, the new
Auto Shade function can stability
shade images with a single click.
Auto Color works only in RGB mode,
and it nonetheless cannot beat
handbook adjustments. However for
quick removing of a colorcast, Auto
Shade gives more pleasing results
than either Auto Levels or Auto
Contrast.
Indeed, its ability to produce almost
complete Web pages, complete with
all the java necessary to handle
button rollovers and image swapping
behaviours, makes Photoshop a tool
not just for those working in more
general media design and print
houses, but also one that Web
designers can use alongside their
HTML editors.
One of the most annoying limitations
of Photoshop 6 and all its
predecessors was its lack of an
image browser, a feature available in
just about every other image editing
application, including those at only a
fraction of its cost. Thankfully this
has finally been rectified in
Photoshop 7, which now boasts a
powerful image browser that not only
allows you to view thumbnails of the
images in any directory on your PC,
but also to view information on them,
such as their colour profile, size,
modification date, and even any
attached Exchangeable Image File
(EXIF) information generated by the
likes of a digital camera.
Photoshop's painting facilities have
also been improved, making it easier
to choose the size, shape and
dynamics of the brush you want.
Some completely new features have
also been added to the brush section,
which amongst other things allow
you to accurately simulate traditional
types of painting techniques should
you wish to. And you can now even
combine two different brush types
when painting, which allows you to
produce some quite amazing results.
Photoshop's image editing and
enhancing facilities have also
improved. You'll now find it even
easier to automatically correct
colours in a photograph, for example,
and thanks to some additions and
tweaks in its Liquify facility, you'll
find making precision distortions or
adding certain types of special effect
an absolute doddle. Two completely
new photo enhancing tools have also
been added to Photoshop 7 - the
healing brush and patch tool - which
together make invisibly removing
blemishes, scratches, dusk and
wrinkles from scanned images a
pleasure rather than a chore.
The new Rollover palette makes it far
easier to create, edit and manage
rollovers and image maps than was
the case in previous versions of the
package. However, it is still not quite
as easy or intuitive as performing the
same tasks with arch-rival
Macromedia's Fireworks Web-specific
image manipulation package. A few
more general improvements to Adobe
Photoshop 7 are also worthy of note
albeit briefly - such as the slightly
more modern look to its user
interface, support for Adobe Acrobat
5's security settings and, last but by
no means least, a built-in multilingual
spell checker.
