Ubiquitous in the world of professional design, Photoshop continues to evolve roughly every two years, with more or less major improvements. What's new in this version CS5, which marks the 20th anniversary of the software? No major change in the interface: the redesign took place with CS4 which unified (more or less) different applications (including those inherited from Macromedia). However, there are some new features that simplify significantly the process of editing. We were able to see some go around the web. The most notable is of course the correction for the contents: a brush stroke and the selected object disappears, almost like magic, replaced by the surrounding textures with such precision that the removal leaves almost no trace.
Real revolution or simple phone buzz using images carefully chosen for their content? Our test will be an opportunity to test this feature, as other news from the editor. Photoshop CS5 worth the price of an update always expensive? How far does his little brother Photoshop Elements 8? Try without delay to answer these questions!
Installing Photoshop CS5
With version CS5, Photoshop acquires immediately a major innovation for users of Mac software goes to the last 64 bits. The Windows version of the software already offers this support since version CS4, but Adobe had to settle for 32-bit for Mac OS X. The reason is simple: the software framework uses the "historical" Carbon, which does not support 64-bit (or rather, who do offer more: the consistency was expected, before being abandoned during road by Apple). In order to offer a 64-bit version for Mac, Adobe has the entire focus of its software to Cocoa, another framework of Mac OS X, it manages 64-bit Cocoa applications since version 10.5.Specifically, after installing the software, two separate versions (32-bit and 64 bit) is available on Windows. Mac OS X, otherwise have a 64-bit processor, the latter version that is started by default. To access the 32-bit version, it will go through the properties of the startup icon and select the option "Run 32-bit mode." Note that the 64-bit version of Photoshop CS5 Mac (and Mac only) sees himself strangely shorn of some features, the application of light effects!
No big changes to the installation software has always used a silent activation somewhat annoying (we like to know when something is on the internet). Policy in Adobe activation, however, is still valuable for the rest: a deactivation option is present, allowing to easily migrate an installation to another extension without any problem passing of authorizations.
Interface
For CS4, Adobe has made a change in the interface to align the Creative Suite applications. Photoshop CS5 does not, at first, major changes: the only thing that makes us think that we have changed version is in the window buttons now look who marry Aero. However, a significant novelty frankly appeared in the sidebar on the right (along with the shortcuts to access particular types of brushes): the Mini Bridge! As the name suggests, this retractable panel provides access to its collection of photos without launching Adobe Bridge (at least without running the full interface, because the software still officiates in the background), which is extremely practice when you need a quick snapshot. The module provides access to the folder tree, but also in collections and smart collections, favorites, or recent folders and files. In short, this Mini Bridge is needed quickly!Apart from this change, we find roughly the interface of Photoshop CS4 and then its "all-in-one" and its multiple screen configurations adapting the palettes on the screen according to use: photography, painting and design (for web). There still access "easier" to different spaces. Nothing really breathtaking: they are arranged in line and not accessible from a menu!
Mac, there will always choose between the default behavior, which displays all panels and toolbars in the form of separate elements, with the office permanently visible (traditional Mac OS) and a mode "piece" option that mimics the layout of the Windows version. There are also many provisions of open images, mosaics, columns, lines, full screen with tabs ... Nothing new then, but flexibility is always enjoyable for users of large screens.
The pleasant little things already in version CS4, such as zoom "softened" or display a compass in the rotation of the work area are enhanced in version CS5 new additions. Note for example the overlay of a ring when using the pipette: it displays the color under the pointer, the current color, all surrounded by a neutral gray. Mac OS X, the software still runs great with multi-touch trackpads to MacBook Pro: zoom, rotate and scrolling are greatly facilitated.
Still, this interface is still very effective indeed a sobriety test that all may seem austere to some users. This choice is of course arguable that Photoshop is an application designed for professional digital imaging: nothing should distract the user from the essential: the photo! The interface can thus less fancy than Photoshop Elements, but the latter, Adobe might be able to borrow at
