• Edit images, photographs, and movies
  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. Motion graphic options available only in Photoshop Extended allow you to edit multiple frames much as you would edit a still image.
   
• Use powerful tools for amazing results
  Photoshop Extended goes far beyond simple cropping and color correction. Use the auto-align layers feature to blend color and shading, quickly select areas of your image with the Quick Selection tool, and focus on your images with enhanced palette management. Photoshop can handle a wide range of file types including JPEG, RAW, PNG, TIFF, BMP, and PSD. Adobe Bridge^® CS4 now offers better integration of Photoshop with other Adobe products.
   
• Do even more with Extended
  Extended supports many 3D image formats, including 3DS, OBJ, U3D, and KMZ, letting you import, view, measure, and interact with most 3D models. Breakthrough 3D painting and compositing capabilities let you work with 3D models as easily and powerfully as with 2D images. And 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.
