Description: Adobe Photoshop is the undisputed leader among professional graphic editors. The program provides all the necessary tools for correction, editing, preparing images for printing. Keeping all the advantages of Photoshop 5.5, version 6 has received new features. The main ones are:
- New control panel located under the menu bar. It is context-sensitive and changes its appearance depending on the selected tool.
- Adjustment layer Gradient Map, which allows you to explicitly specify the range of colors into which all the colors of our drawing will be “squeezed”.
- The new Layer Styles dialog box shows a list of all the effects applied to a particular layer and allows you to manipulate them. When you save a new style, it appears in the new Styles palette.
- the appearance of groups of layers Layer Set. They make working with complex layouts much easier by allowing you to combine images logically. In addition, they can be manipulated as a single object: move, transform, change colors using Adjustment Layers.
- Extended set of formatting functions for both European and Asian texts. Now you can enter, format and edit text directly on the image, without switching to the dialog box. You can assign color and style to each letter of the text independently. Text remains editable even after rotation, scaling and distortion.
- Support for vector graphics. There is a new tool that creates vector, resolution-independent geometric shapes. Both graphic primitives (rectangle, rounded rectangle, ellipse, polygons, lines) and more complex shapes are available for work. A fairly large set of vector icons comes with Photoshop, but you can always expand it by creating your own shapes and saving them in a custom library format. Vector elements are placed on separate working layers, so that you can work with a raster image without fear of spoiling them.
