Adobe Photoshop 8
Adobe Photoshop - is one of the most
powerful image modification programs on the market today. It is widely used
throughout the world, and has shown its handiwork to the public through altered
photos of famous people.
It is so dominant that when we notice that an image has been altered, we say it has been “Photo shopped.”

It
is the current and primary market leader for commercial bitmap and image
manipulation, 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.
Thanks
to Adobe's continued refinement of Photoshop, the program retains it's position
as the essential image-editing tool for graphics professionals as a part of the
Adobe Creative Suite family. While Photoshop CS 8.0 offers only a handful of
new capabilities, they are important: increased support for 16-bit images,
better color-correction and image-adjustment tools, nested layer sets, the
ability to edit text on a path, no square-pixel preview, SWF export (in Image
Ready) and variables for dynamic Web content (in Image Ready). Most serious
users will find at least one feature that justifies the upgrade despite its
steep price. But using these tools correctly still takes some finesse; if you're
in imaging for the fun rather than the high-quality output or money, you're
probably better off with one of the $99 alternatives, such as Jasc Paint Shop
Pro, Ulead Photo Impact, or Photoshop Elements.
Routine
best describes the Photoshop install process, and wary upgraders will be
reassured to know that Photoshop 8.0 happily coexisted with version 7.0 as well
as previous versions of other Adobe apps during my tests. Other supporting
files, such as custom Actions, also migrated with no problem. Adobe now requires
that you activate Photoshop within a month of installation, a relatively
painless procedure. Of course, you never know the real hassle quotient of a
product's activation scheme until you've upgraded hard disks a few times.
Adobe
Studio provides both free and fee-based content, such as tips and tutorials,
videos, downloads and forums.
However,
there's a ton of free on-line help available for Photoshop users. In addition
to the Adobe Studio site, which delivers tips, tutorials and tools, Adobe's
user-to-user forums are monitored by competent support staff and offer a good
track record.
