Photoshop 8.0


Question

crack smack.. i think photoshop should use a us dongle much like audio programs i use do. I'm not saying coming across software is cheap, by all means it's not. But if you intend on using it you should buy it. I equate it to Knowing there's a hot car on the mark.. say a nice Acura NSX, going to dealership researching it then going home withougt buying. Later that night you return it to the dealership steal it and drive it around.. what's the harm you only want to test it right?.. Later in the week while driving your stolen NSX you decide that it's not cool the seats are reclining corectly so you call the manufacturer and ask for assistance. .. *this is a blantant rant about the cubase.net forums...* but i'm sure it's tru with most software titles. Bottom line is be it software or hardware, stealing is stealing.

However .. beta software is not so big an issue in my eyes..... and maybe that's me having a double standard

just my usless 2 cents.. ;)

Hi,

Here's a feature often overlooked in the quest for reasons to upgrade to CS--Nested Layers. For me, this alone is worth the upgrade price, but there are also many other performance and usability enhancements that aren't easily detected from just looking :blink: at the UI.

Nested-Layer-Sets-I.gifNested-Layer-Sets-II.gif

A few more new features not mentioned very often, but still very useful:

  • Time Tracking for Billing Projects
  • High Quality Previews in the Lightbox
  • Full-on 16 Bit Editing
  • Photomerge Panoramas
  • Filter gallery for Viewing Multiple Filters Simultaneously
  • Color Matching Across Layers or Images
  • Pixel Aspect Ratio
  • Customizable Doc Presets
  • Export Directly to Flash SWF (ImageReady)
  • Customizable Help Menus
  • Color Replacement Tool
  • Conditional Actions

Would anyone here recommend purchasing Photoshop CS for a casual home user? I would like to learn Photoshop more but am not sure if this (rather expensive!!!) software is worth the purchase or if I should perhaps look into Photoshop 7 or even Photoshop Elements 2. :unsure:

stick with photoshop element 2.0

its like 90 CAD and it's way enough for 90% of ppl doing picture editing

Too bad that their full-on 16bit editing doesn't include the majority of their effect filters. That's weak.

:pinch: 3 things......

#1 16bit is mainly used for editing photos

#2 16bit is used to pre edit the photo before going into 8bit, because it has far more color/contrast info to adjust

#3 the "filters" will take up way to much memory and CPU resources to calculate the result in 16bit, because it contains way more info than 8bit.

i hope you get the point

Double memory, same CPU usage.

I want precision in my edits and effects, and it does matter when you work a lot on a picture, or add a lot of effects. Noise and color banding own you. That's why moving pictures (where you notice errors less than on still pictures) are processed at 16bit color channels since ages, or even floating point since recently.

    • FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 by Razvan Serea FotoSketcher Studio is a free creative tool that instantly turns your photos into artwork. With just a few clicks, you can apply styles like pencil sketches, watercolor, oil painting, ink drawings, cartoons, and abstract effects. Powerful yet simple sliders let you adjust every detail to match your vision, from subtle enhancements to bold artistic transformations. You can also improve your images with tools for contrast, sharpness, color, and brightness, plus add frames and text. It supports JPEG, PNG (including transparency), BMP, and WebP formats for both opening and exporting. Available for Windows (64-bit) and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), FotoSketcher also offers batch processing, manual retouching, and custom effects for advanced users. Completely free, including commercial use, with no ads or spyware. FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 changelog: New LUTs effect In the Photo Lab category you will find a new LUTs (Lookup Tables) effect for custom colour grading. It comes with 18 presets built right into the application (Cinematic, Kodachrome, Golden hour, Portrait and more), each with a live preview so you can see the look before applying it. Right-click the preview to compare with your original image. And if you have your own .cube files, you can load those from disk too. New "Stylize" category Added a brand-new Stylize category with four new effects. Three of them (Mosaic, Circles and Triangles) are built on the same space-filling idea, turning your photo into tiled mosaics, clusters of circles, or a low-poly triangle look. The fourth, Cartoon, is a bit different: it gives a clean graphic style with defined lines and solid colours. A little tip - set the colour intensity to 0 and Cartoon draws a pure outline drawing with no fill. Combined with the "Do not erase background" option, you can run it on top of any other effect to add crisp contours in two quick steps. Auto-Enhance and Full Reset Two small but handy additions. Auto-Enhance (just press E) tries to optimise your source photo - exposure, white balance, local contrast - for a 'dehazed', natural-looking starting point. And Full Reset clears everything back to a clean slate in one step (working image, history, LUT, script, brushes and sliders) without having to close and reopen the program. Press Ctrl+Shift+N, or right-click the exit button. Scripts The script engine has been updated to support all the new effects, with a few new commands and improved help. If you would like some inspiration, the recent scripting tutorial on this blog walks through several ready-made example scripts. The usual improvements The interface now uses new colour accents for better readability, the history gallery has had a few tweaks, and you can now open .webp images directly. On top of that, this release includes some performance improvements and a good number of bug fixes.
