About Adobe Photoshop CS4

I'm currently using Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended version so I just share some of the information about CS4 to you-all.For more information about others versions, you may refer to the link attached below.

ABOUT PHOTOSHOP
Adobe Photoshop is a graphics editing program developed and published by Adobe Systems Incorporated.
Adobe's 2003 "Creative Suite" rebranding led to Adobe Photoshop 8's renaming to Adobe Photoshop CS. Thus, Adobe Photoshop CS5 is the 12th major release of Adobe Photoshop. The CS rebranding also resulted in Adobe offering numerous software packages containing multiple Adobe programs for a reduced price. There are two versions of Photoshop: Basic and Extended, with Extended having extra features available. Adobe Photoshop Extended is included in all of Adobe's Creative Suite offerings except Design Standard, which has the Basic version.

Features
Photoshop has ties with other Adobe software for media editing, animation, and authoring. The .PSD (Photoshop Document), Photoshop's native format, stores an image with support for most imaging options available in Photoshop. These include layers with masks, color spaces, ICC profiles, transparency, text, alpha channels and spot colors, clipping paths, and duotone settings. This is in contrast to many other file formats (e.g. .EPS or .GIF) that restrict content to provide streamlined, predictable functionality.
Photoshop's popularity means that the .PSD format is widely used, and it is supported to some extent by most competing software. The .PSD file format can be exported to and fromAdobe Illustrator, Adobe Premiere Pro, and After Effects, to make professional standard DVDs and provide non-linear editing and special effects services, such as backgrounds, textures, and so on, for television, film, and the Web. Photoshop is a pixel-based image editor, unlike programs such as Macromedia FreeHand (now defunct), Adobe Illustrator,Inkscape or CorelDraw, which are vector-based image editors.
Photoshop uses color models RGB, lab, CMYK, grayscale, binary bitmap, and duotone. Photoshop has the ability to read and write raster and vector image formats such as .EPS,.PNG, .GIF, .JPEG, and Adobe Fireworks.

CS4

Photoshop CS4 features a new 3D engine allowing painting directly on 3D models, wrapping 2D images around 3D shapes, converting gradient maps to 3D objects, adding depth to layers and text, getting print-quality output with the new ray-tracing rendering engine. It supports common 3D formats; the new Adjustment and Mask Panels; Content-aware scaling (seam carving); Fluid Canvas Rotation and File display options. On 30 April, Adobe released Photoshop CS4 Extended, which includes all the same features of Adobe Photoshop CS4 with the addition of capabilities for scientific imaging, 3D, and high end film and video users. The successor to Photoshop CS3,Photoshop CS4 is the first 64-bit Photoshop on consumer computers (only on Windows – the OS X version is still 32-bit only.)

How CS4 different from others version?

Blog Header

Finally get to do a blog header for this blog.
It is kinda easy and I done this header by modify a wallpaper's making tutorial.All the source materials are provided at bottom of this post.

First of all, create a new file with 850*250.

Create a new layer and using the Rectangular Marquee Tool (M) to draw a rectangle at the top of the canvas fill with color that you like. 

Drag in source material 1 and change it color by using Gradient Overlay.

Drag in source material 2 and change it to ''Multiply" mode.Place at anywhere you like.

Drag in source material 3 - 10 and place it as you like. Load selection[Ctrl + click on the layer thumbnail] of source material 5 and clear part of source material 6 that overlay with(the upside of photo frame).

Click on layer with source material 5 and 6,right-click,merge layers.


Apply "Blending options >> Drop Shadow " to the merged layer.

Place all the material load nicely in the way you like.

Drag in source material 11-13 and place it nicely.Load selection of source material 11 and clear the part of the merged layer[merge of layer of source material 5 and 6]

Create a new layer ,press Ctrl + Shift + Alt + e to apply the action of "stamp visible". Filter >> Sharpen >> Sharpen.Then, copy the sharpen layer, Filter >> sharpen >> Sharpen Edges.Change its opacity to 50%.

Last and finally, add in any typo that you like. Blog header finish.


Below are the source materials used.












Chinese translation of ADOBE PHOTOSHOP workspace/menu

This post is to easier the learning process of Photoshop for the Chinese Photoshop learners and to increase the familiarity of them toward Photoshop. Due to some of the Chinese can't understand well what the tutorial of Photoshop tutorial that write in English, here is the Chinese version of Photoshop workspace and menu.
