If you use images to communicate or gather and analyze information, then download the new Adobe Photoshop software and experience the power first-hand. Whether you are simply retouching or optimizing an image or building complex composites or animations, you'll have the power and precision you need for superior results. Version CS3 added smart filters, quick selection, refine edge tools, and advanced compositing.

Top features:

- Industry-standard editing toolset. Perfect your images with industry-leading image-editing capabilities, which include enhanced color-correction and cloning and healing tools.

- Nondestructive editing. Take advantage of nondestructive editing capabilities, including new Smart Filters, which let you visualize different image effects, and Smart Objects, which let you scale, rotate, and warp raster and vector graphics — all without altering pixel data.

- Rich painting and drawing toolset. Create or modify images with a wide assortment of professional, fully customizable paint settings, artistic brushes, and drawing tools.

- Advanced compositing. Create more accurate composites by automatically aligning multiple Adobe® Photoshop® layers or images based on similar content. The Auto-align Layers command quickly analyzes details and moves, rotates, or warps layers to align them perfectly, and the Auto-blend Layers command blends the color and shading to create a smooth, editable result.
