Adobe Photoshop

By Brian Lam and Don Nguyen Note that this machine also had a faster ATI Radeon 4850 video card with 512MB of RAM (versus the 4670 card in the other iMac) which may have impacted performance in several apps. I have no idea which of these apps uses the GPU to accelerate its tasks under Snow Leopard. (For example, Preview ma...

By Jesus Diaz This morning, Ron van der Ende left me speechless with this. They are not pasted in Photoshop. They are not giant tapes. They are not even painted. They are bas-relief mosaics made with old wood cuts. There are more: According to Ron van der Ende:

By matt buchanan Photoshop! On Android! Adobe's free Photoshop app for Android is surprisingly just as slick as the iPhone's though it's missing all of the special effects, focusing on basics like saturation, exposure and cropping. Basics are fine—and we like what it does there—so our real gripe is that...

By Dan Nosowitz Note: Speaking of rejects, you might notice that all the screens are capped at 700 pixels in width. It's because Microsoft isn't dumb: They don't want shots they took a pass on becoming the wallpaper of netbooks and PCs all over. Sorry guys, we tried.

By John Herrman Photoshop: To call this app Photoshop is almost a misnomer—you can't have anything resembling desktop Photoshop on the iPhone, but you can have a decent photo processing app: • CameraBag, for being two whole dollars more than Photoshop. (Sorry!)

By Sean Fallon If you can't capture a real ghost on film, you can always turn to the Ghost Finder disposable camera. It inserts an ghostly image in every photo you take—saving you time and effort with Photoshop. It's all of the fraud without all of the work. [FindGift]

By Wilson Rothman I wish I could run a gallery of 100 shots from this book, because each page startled me in a different way. Meeting the real people behind the paintings, and learning that every painting was composed of masterfully planned photographs—always black and white, since the artist let his imagi...

By John Herrman Photoshop: This app bears almost no resemblance to the Photoshop we all know and steal love. That's fine though, because it's a serviceable photo-editing (on the iPhone, this means filters, cropping, and a few other tricks) app that is free, unlike virtually all of its competition.

By Joanna Stern Performance Like most ThinkPads, the T400s can handle some pounding. Multitasking (watching a 1080p video, with 7 tabs open in Firefox, while running three IM clients and editing photos in GIMP) was smooth and I wasn't waiting around for things to load. Also boosting performance is the 12...

By John Mahoney And in addition, four quick-access function buttons that pop up when you hit the main "OK" button can also be custom-defined to whatever you want for immediate access to exposure compensation, white balance, ISO, image size—10 possible options. Super-handy.

By Adam Frucci • I really like the multitouch trackpad...most of the time. It's great for using expose and for right-clicking with two fingers, but it also often misfires, especially in programs like Photoshop. Photoshop thinks I want to rotate the image every damned time I put more than one finger on the tra...

By matt buchanan According to CNBC's Silicon Valley Bureau Chief, PCs need the following things to "perform as well as a Mac": $50 a year for anti-virus software, $104 multimedia software, $100 music software, $140 "Photoshop—you get that with Apple" and $129 for a Geek Squad visit. Over $600 worth of ext...

By John Mahoney PhotoKeys Photoshop Remote: If you keep your phone docked near your keyboard like I do and do some heavy 'shopping, this looks pretty handy. It turns your iPhone into a customizable tool palette by talking to a mini server app on your desktop. Windows and Mac are both supported. It's $4.

By Mark Wilson While Apple grandly updated their notebook line to the new unibody design, the 17-inch MacBook Pro, Apple's granddaddy of mobile computing, was left behind. Now, the 17-inch model joins its siblings—with promising bonus features.

By Wilson Rothman Most of the updated tools are great, but although red-eye reduction is finally automatic, it's still better done by hand, or by an app other than iPhoto. For starters, it only can automatically remove red-eye from faces it detects, and though the Faces feature is great, there are still pro...

By John Mahoney Multi-Photo Email: Does exactly what the title says—lets you send more than one image per email. Much, much needed default functionality that unfortunately costs a $1 to add via third-party, but if you email a lot of photos this is really handy.

By Adrian Covert The review unit I tested had a 1.33 GHz Z520 Atom Processor, 2 GB RAM, 64 GB SSD and Intel integrated graphics designed for MIDs. So I decided I would try to run three to five apps at any one time, essentials like SlingPlayer, Pidgin, Skype, VLC, iTunes and Gimp. Meanwhile, I'd have Firefox open,...

By Jesus Diaz This concept started as a Photoshop idea by Giz reader Mat Brady. He wants to get rid of his Nokia N95 but can't get himself to buy an iPhone for the same reason other people don't like the current iPhone. Lack of a physical keyboard, lack of a good camera, and not enough storage.

By Jesus Diaz Once upon a time there was a program called Photoshop, created by the Knoll Brothers. Twenty years and eleven versions later, it basically remains unchanged. Except for the damn bloody tabs. Check our Photoshop CS4 review here. [Woohome]

By Jesus Diaz I can't try the rest of the applications in the Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection with the depth I can use both Photoshop and Illustrator, but if these two—and Bridge CS4—are any sign of what to expect from the other ten apps in the package—and from what I've been able to read in review...

By Jesus Diaz SANTA CLARA, CA—OCTOBER 16, 2008—NVIDIA today introduced its new accelerator for Adobe® Creative Suite® 4 software, the NVIDIA® Quadro® CX. This new GPU provides creative professionals with a faster, better, more reliable way to maximize their creativity. Quadro CX was architected t...

By Mark Wilson And then, of course, there's the group that requires the MacBook Pro's discrete graphics card with a half-gig of dedicated RAM. Large textures and massive Photoshop files require a level of performance that the basic MacBook's integrated graphics, even Nvidia's most boastworthy—jus...

By Wilson Rothman Estimated street price for the Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium will be US$1799, US$1699 for Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Premium, US$1699 for Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium, and US$2499 for Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection. Adobe]

By Adam Frucci This week, the Photoshop Contest is gonna be a little different. How so? Well, it's not going to be a Photoshop Contest at all. It's going to be an MS Paint Contest. Last week we saw some of the most technically-proficient entries in a contest yet, which was awesome. But let's lower the barrier to...

By Jesus Diaz UPDATE Software compatibility The Wacom Cintiq 12WX is compatible with any software, including Photoshop (that's the whole point of it, not Excel.) It works transparently and, like I said in the review, it's completely plug-n-play.

By Wilson Rothman A version of Photoshop Elements will ship for Mac OS in "early 2008," says senior product manager Mark Dahm, who said that instead of an iPhoto-like album organizer similar to the one in the Windows version, a Mac PSE would have something like the Bridge application that comes with full-f...

By Mark Wilson While it's still a teaser at the moment, John Nack (senior product manager for Photoshop) has confirmed the development of Photoshop Express. It's a free online photo editor that's not meant to replace Adobe's current offerings, but "make Adobe imaging technology immediately accessi...

By Charlie White Designers who also are into Web authoring may be interested in the Creative Suite 3 Master Collection, Adobe's full-boat product that contains just about every piece of software the company sells, but you have to spend $2499 for the privilege of owning this huge barrel o' fun. Here's the l...

By Gizmodo For all you graphics geeks who have been waiting eagerly to find out whether or not Adobe has screwed up all of your favorite Macromedia design tools, now's your chance to plunk down $1,000+ to find out. CS3 launches today, and it's as freakin' thorough as expected. You can buy Design Premium...

With the help of Dartmouth College, Reuters and Canon, Adobe will be developing a tool that will be able to distinguish the authenticity of a photo. It will come in the form of a Photoshop plugin and it can link a picture to a camera and even a specific camera. The plugin will also have the abilit...

By Jason Chen A bit of bad news about Vista if you're a photographer. Apparently if you tag a photo's metadata in Vista, it destroys other important metadata used by image editing apps such as Photoshop. Microsoft's gotten reports of RAW files generated by Nikon cameras being unreadable after being tag...
