• Edit images and photographs
  Photoshop is the industry-leading image editing program, offering useful tools for color correction, edge sharpening, and cloning and healing. New Smart Filters and Smart Objects provide nondestructive editing capabilities, while powerful paint and drawing tools even let you create images from scratch.
   
• Use powerful tools for amazing results
  Photoshop CS4 gives you even more intuitive access to nondestructive editing techniques with the new Adjustments panel and Masks panel. The new version helps you perfect all of your images with enhanced color-correction technology. And it enables you to work more productively using more selective editing controls, more powerful raw image processing, and enhanced integration with Photoshop Lightroom^®.
   
• Convert your images to prints
  Adobe teamed with imaging leader Hewlett-Packard^® to develop improved printing tools. Improved quality, more predictable reproduction of color, and a larger print preview window are all benefits of using Photoshop CS4. HP, Epson^®, and Canon^® printers can all be integrated with Photoshop. Of course, because Photoshop has been the industry standard for over a decade, there are a wealth of additional resources available from independent third parties, including software plug-ins, books, and training.
