Introducing Adobe Photoshop CS3 (part3)
Posted by admin on January 26th, 2009In today’s part of our presentation of news in Adobe Photoshop CS3 Beta is looking for a new form of Camera Raw plugin. The tool for adjusting RAW images now include (in addition to solutions such as Apple Aperture and Bibble Labs Bibble) to key resources for working with the type of content (in combination with Photoshop alone and administrative tool for Bridge), and even Adobe had recently created, essentially a competitor namely program Photoshop Lightroom, which is, however, has still only in beta stage. News in a new Camera Raw is really a lot, while many have their basis in what zvídavější users already know just from Lightroom. About how the news seem to read in this article.
Interface
Minor changes can perceive the product’s interface. Cards for the adjustment was added (this is due to offer new features and attempt to better organize the interface a separate card is so now and work with presets), perhaps for this reason they are now header described by only one letter, expressing the mission of the group functions. The order and grouping of functions while the card is different from what is offered in Camera Raw for Photoshop CS2.
Fairly useful tool is the coloring of the sliders for each setting: the user indicates what effect the rider position on the color characteristics of the image. The slider can also now also be easily adjusted to its original state double-click the symbol.
Basic rules
for the basic treatment is available to card B ie Basic, corresponding to an earlier mission Adjust tab. A pleasant change in the ergonomics of its use is to remove the check box to automatically set the Auto value and its replacement Auto, which may carry out the appropriate settings. Function Default shall return the sliders to the default state.
Besides unchanged means for temperature setting White Balance and White Exposure slider to change the exposure is now available for Reconstruction Recovery and Fill Light burn for illumination of the dark shadows, in essence, is the function known as a digital flash. Blacks slider has the same mission as the Shadows slider in the previous version of Camera Raw, is used to tweak the shadows remained unchanged tools to adjust contrast and brightness, or Brightness and Contrast. All the above options come into play even when editing photos after transfer to shade of gray, for which adequate choice.
Checking saturation
addition to the standard tools Saturation is also available resource Vibrance. With its help you can make changes nelineální saturation so that the less saturated pixels are saturated with more features and has the protection of skin tones, avoiding the redness of a change made by the Saturation slider.
Tone Curve Editing
Changes to the card has had its tone curve adjustment (formerly Curve, now Tone Curve). Editing it can be provided on two cards, the Point offers similar functionality as the old form of the function, ie, allows manual configuration and use of several preset values. The new card will allow Parametric curve tune with sliders to burn, light and dark parts of shadows.
HSL / Grayscale
completely new way, enabling control of color in the photo is HSL / Grayscale (H) card. As the name suggests, serves to set the hue, saturation and lightness (Hue-Saturation-Luminance), for eight color channels (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Aqua, Blue, Purple, Magenta), and eventual transfer to the image of shades gray. Conversion to gray is implemented by checking the corresponding options to Camera Raw it will not transfer, but also automatic sliders, for these channels (ie, the plugin attempts to “guess” the correct value), then you can set the sliders to change, there is thus a return to baseline. The combination of those options would be under some claim to ensure the generation of high-quality black and white photographs.
Split Toning
new path has also included modifications Split Toning (S). In this case, the device is advanced toning images. With its help you can tune a different hue, and saturation for light and shadows, and possibly change the proportion of these elements in the frame.
Manage Settings
More Card Camera Raw, namely D (Detail – change sharpness, lightness, color noise), L (Lens Corrections – Correction of chromatic aberrations and vignetting) and C (Camera Calibration – Camera Calibration profile), give essentially the same functionality as in the previous version of Camera Raw. New feature is the already mentioned P card, or Presets, which allows easier than ever before to work with named saving settings. Specifically makes it easy to create your own set or subset of the set or remove a set of course apply.
Editing JPEG and TIFF
interesting new feature is the ability to adjust with Camera Raw and JPEG and TIFF files (can be used to open click Open As / type to select the format Camera Raw /, Camera Raw using the default tool for JPEG files, allows appropriate selection in preferences / Edit-Preferences-File Handling /). The function will welcome many users, especially those for which Camera Raw is an essential tool and the camera (or cameras) produce images in RAW and JPEG.
Finally
Camera Raw provides many innovations, from the pleasant things to truly major new features. As we have yet předeslali in the introduction, many improvements are taken from within Photoshop Lightroom. How much is a given fact for the future of one of the products in question have any relevance at this moment, in any event not dare guess.
