The Photoshop CS5 Software from Adobe is the industry-standard application for editing photos. The software gives you all the tools necessary to edit digital images.

As in previous versions, Photoshop CS5 uses a powerful layer-based approach for image editing. Editing in layers allows you to make adjustments to images without modifying aspects of an original. Layer opacity can be adjusted and order, aiding in compositing tasks. Photoshop keeps a history of each change you make to an image, allowing you to undo actions with ease if necessary.

Photoshop also supports the creation of High Dynamic Range (HDR) images. HDR images are created from multiple images of different exposures. It can remove ghosting created by slight camera movement between exposures, and you'll be able to tone images through intuitive slider controls.

Photoshop features a number of artistic image filters that can dramatically transform images. You'll be able to simulate different canvas types and brush strokes to create digital paintings. You can warp or stretch graphics, or move elements in images using the Puppet Warp tool.

Designers will appreciate the ability to isolate parts of images. You can cut out a model from a background with ease for use in a brochure. Photoshop is intelligent enough to correctly select complex parts of an image, including hair. You can go the opposite way as well -- you can remove a subject or object from an image and use the Content-Aware Fill to fill in the background with ease.

It is not without reason that Photoshop has become a verb in popular culture today. It's common to hear about someone who has "Photoshopped" a picture. Photoshop is the premiere application for image editing; it is a tool that every professional photographer and designer should have available.
