Adobe Photoshop, or simply Photoshop, is a graphics editor developed and published by Adobe Systems. It is the current market leader for commercial bitmap and image manipulation, and, aside from Adobe Acrobat, is the best-known piece of software produced by Adobe Systems. It has been described as "an industry standard for graphics professionals"[1], though it is not considered an industry standard for text or vector graphics[citation needed]. Photoshop is available for Mac OS X, Mac OS, and Microsoft Windows; versions up to Photoshop 10.0 can also be used with other operating systems such as Linux using software such as CrossOver or Wine. Past versions of the program were ported to the SGI IRIX and Sun Solaris platforms, but official support for this port was dropped after version 3.
Although primarily designed to edit images for paper-based printing, Photoshop is used increasingly to produce images for the World Wide Web. Versions between 5.5 and CS2 used to bundle a related application, Adobe ImageReady, to provide a more specialized set of tools for this purpose.
Photoshop also has strong ties with other Adobe software for media editing, animation and authoring. Files in Photoshop's native format, .PSD, can be exported to and from Adobe ImageReady, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects and Adobe Encore DVD to make professional standard DVDs, provide non-linear editing and special effects services such as backgrounds, textures and so on for television, film and the Web. For example, Photoshop CS broadly supports making menus and buttons for DVDs. For .PSD files exported as a menu or button, it only needs to have layers, nested in layer sets with a cueing format and Adobe Encore DVD reads them as buttons or menus.
The most recent version, released in 2007, is version 10. This iteration of the program is marketed as "Photoshop CS3." "CS" reflects its integration with "Adobe's Creative Suite" products and a number "3" because it is the third version released since Adobe re-branded their products under the CS umbrella.
Adobe also released Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended in 2007 which includes all the same features of Adobe Photoshop CS3 plus capabilities for 3D and motion based content. Photoshop CS3 features additions such as the ability to apply non-destructive filters, and a new selection tools named Quick Selection and Refine edge that makes selection more streamlined.
