What is photoshop?

What is it exactly? I know you can do some cool stuff with it.
Is it already installed on the macbook?
If not how much does it cost?
-Thanks for all the help

It is a graphic design program that allow you to "manipulate" image and such.
Better explanation is already post at the first reply.
Here is the link for official sites and MSRP price (some seller is cheaper) :

But if you are totally new and with limited budget, and want to create fun stuff without professional output, here is the option:
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopelmac/index.html
I use both and sometimes the features on element is easier and you can get some result within two steps in elements while you have to do at least 4 steps to get similar result on photoshop.
Don't get me wrong, the element also have some profesional output, and powerful enough, and your imagination is the limit for both of them, but for starter and budget-wise I prefer you try element first, and you can step-up if you are more familiar, have the budget and ready to make money with photoshop.
Good Luck

  • What is Photoshop Elements Trying To Do?

    I use Photoshop Elements 8 with Windows 7 Professional x64.
    When I open a jpg in Photoshop Elements, the cursor rapidly switches back and forth between 'ready'  (a pointer) and 'working' (a revolving blue circle) for about 60 seconds, then it settles into 'ready'.
    What is Photoshop Elements trying to do for those first 60 seconds or so? Can I prevent this from happening? It's annoying to have to wait a minute for the program to settle down every time I open  it.

    Make sure to download everything and make sure to put it into a proper folder, not loosely dump it on your desktop or other system-specific directories that may have limitations or special security settings.

  • Photoshop color settings - what is Photoshop doing?

    Hello, I'm trying to understand how converting to different color profiles within Photoshop works.
    What I'm trying to understand is why, when I have a document saved in with an embedded color profile of "Adobe RGB (1998)", when I *convert* the color profile to "Adobe RGB (1998)" (the same profile) the colors change dramatically. If I am converting to the same color profile, shouldn't the colors remain the same, and not change?
    Please note, I'm not having any problems, just trying understand what Photoshop is doing. Thanks for any help!

    This is what I'm seeing, the original image is on the left, the preview image is on the right. Once I click ok, I'm left with the original image. This happens consistently whenever I convert a color profile to itself. Thanks for all your help!

  • What size photoshop file for 16:9?

    This is a great site and I've been doing alot of searching/reading and trying to get some info. Maybe I've misunderstood some of the answers but I'd just like someone to confirm my suspicion:
    What pixel dimensions do my photoshop files need to be if my project will be viewed NTSC 16:9? If they decide to go HD what are the pixel dimensions staying in the same aspect ratio?
    Cheers,

    What version of Photoshop are you using?
    I'm still using Photoshop 7 it's 864x480 preset (I believe it is labeled a DV Widescreen or something) for 16:9 work.
    Just prior to finishing, I save the file as a copy, then resize the image to 720x480. (I could let FCP do the resizing, but I find that PS is a little better at it, quality wise)
    As far as HD, that really depends on what flavor of HD - 720? 1080? - and, more specifically the codec you're using in FCP. (DVCProHD 720? HDV 1080i?)

  • What does Photoshop mean when it says "I'm deadfully sorry, but Photoshop is about to die..."

    I received this error message I'm deadfully sorry, but Photoshop is about to die with a NSiternalInconsistencyException exception (because Error (1000) creating CGSWindow). What do I do to fix/not get this message again.

    As awesome as that error message sounds, that is not the way Photoshop normally reports errors. Could you post a screen shot? By the sound of it, this error is being reported by a third-party application, which could indicate a conflict.

  • What is "Photoshop Default Size" ?

    File > New.
    The first preset option is: "Default Photoshop Size"
    I'm curious to know what's the basis of the specification for this? I get a really odd size of 454 x 340 pixels.

    Viewbyte wrote:
    It does. Maybe it's the size of Thomas Knoll's right hand, or something...
    Remember that Photoshop and/or its predecessor started out as a Macintosh application.  At the time, the venerable Macintosh Plus and previous Macs had a 9-inch 512×384 pixel monochrome display with a resolution of 72 PPI. That ratio works out to 1.33:1.
    "Photoshop Default", at 454 x 340 px, also maintains a 1.33:1 aspect ratio, and it  sounds like a good window size to fit in such a display comfortably, with some room left over for other window components and tools (menu bar, scroll bars, etc.).
    Coincidence?

  • What makes Photoshop ignore my choice of destination folder?

    Hello, experts:
    I have been using Photoshop for basic editing for several years, now. For at least the last three years (whether I have used Photoshop CS5 or now, CS6), if I automate a batch of photos, going through the process of selecting the source folder, then the destination folder for the edited pictures, my choice of destination folder is ignored — the edited pictures end up in the source folder. Recently, they have even gone into a totally irrelevant folder. It was not always like this, but I now don't seem to be able to cure this annoying malfunction.
    Can anyone out there tell me how this may be put right?
    With thanks in anticipation of a helpful reply,
    True to form

    If using an action probably need more info on what action says for file saving.

  • What about Photoshop CC?

    I just subscribe for Creative Cloud last Friday, being a Phoshop client already. When I download Photoshop I realised that the version is Ps Cs6, I was expected to receive Photosgop CC instead... The issue is that I already bought last year the upgrade of CS6 so know I hav ethe feeling to pay tice the same product... Where have I been wrong?
    thank you helping me

    Vgster I would recommend contacting our support team so they can work with you directly to investigate the difficulties you are facing.  You can reach out chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6.
    It is likely they will need to review your download logs to determine why you are facing connectivity difficulties.

  • What about Photoshop 6, Logic Pro 6 etc.?

    Is there a 'universal' upgrade for earlier Photoshop (6.x), or Logic Audio Pro 6.x?
    Is there anything coming down the pipe? Or will I be forced to upgrade ... and if so, is there a 'universal' or Intel version of Photoshop now out?
    Ben

    Hi ibm1,
    Universal, the way I mean it, is the version required to run these applications on the new Mac Intel chip.
    Foolish me. I went out and bought the laptop, assuming I would just come home and dump in me $15,000 worth of software. And then take off on Monday for a month away from home base but still able to work. Nope. Virtually none of it will work unless I can get upgrades to the 'universal' version, which does not exist for most of this software.

  • I have a pc. when i try to open photoshop i get a message...photoshop has quit working...what do i do? I used it yesterday

    I can't get Photoshop to open. I installed my wacom tablet yesterday & now it just says it's stopped working. How do I get it back. I uninstalled tablet...that didn't help

    Windows maintains a reliability History. When an application like Photoshop stops working windows windows record that into the reliability history. So look at your system history and are what is recorde when Photoshop stoped working. Where is the failure. Here you see some that happened on my system.  The failures in CC and CC2014 happened in Windows and were cause by a device driver update. I updated the device driver to a newer version and test what cause Photoshop to stop working and now all is well,

  • FAQ: Why is Photoshop Elements cheaper? What's different about Photoshop?

    What is Photoshop CS/CC (PSCS/PSCC)?
    Photoshop is a professional tool used throughout many industries as the standard for digital image manipulation and painting. It has very rich, and often complex, tools and options. As such, it comes with a professional price tag.
    What is Photoshop Elements (PSE)?
    Photosohp Elements is a consumer product. It's made for users who don't need as many features and complex options. It has a simpler design, guided workflows, and an organizer to help you manage your files.
    What are the some of the specific differences?
    Here is a list of some of the major differences between Photoshop Elements and Photoshop:
    Adobe Camera Raw differences between Photoshop and Photoshop Elements
    Photoshop Elements comes with a database driven Digital Asset Management application called Elements Organizer. Photoshop comes with Bridge, a file navigation system that operates much like Windows Explorer or Macintosh Finder. While there are several functions that both Organizer and Bridge use, they are fundamentally different applications and serve different purposes.
    Photoshop Elements does not support the following color modes: Duotone, CMYK, Lab, Multichannel
    There is very little 16-bit support in Photshop Elements. You cannot create or convert an image to 16-bit, only open images that are already 16-bit. While working with a 16-bit image you cannot work with layers. The following tools do not work: Magic Wand, Selection Brush, the family of Type tools, Recompose, Cookie Cutter, Straighten, the brush based tools (Paint Brush, Eraser, Dodge, Blur, etc), or the shape based tools (Rectangle, Ellipse, Custom Shape, etc). Many filters do not work, mainly those featured in the Filter Gallery.
    Photoshop Elements does not fully support Smart Objects. While you can open files that already have Smart Object layers, you cannot create Smart Objects nor open the files embedded as Smart Objects.
    Photoshop Elements does not have a Channels panel. Nor does it have the Channel Mixer Adjustment/Enhancement.
    Photoshop Elements cannot merge multiple/bracketed photo exposures into an HDR image. There is no support for 32-bit images. However, Photoshop Elements does offer Photomerge Exposure as a similar function.
    Photoshop Elements does not use the same range of Content-Aware functions. While the Spot Healing Brush includes the Content-Aware option in both applications, Photoshop Elements does not have Conent-Aware as an option in the Edit > Fill Layer command (known simply as Edit > Fill in Photoshop). However, Photoshop Elements does use a Content-Aware Fill option when creating a Photomerge Panorama, this is not an option in Photoshop. Photoshop CS6 introduced the Content-Aware Extend and Move tools, which are not available in Photoshop Elements.
    Photoshop Elements has fewer vector based tools. The Pen family of tools are not available. The Shape tools do create a vector shape layer, but the vector points cannot be edited individually. There is no Paths panel.
    The licence from a boxed purchase of Photoshop Elements is multi-platform (as of version 9). This means you can install on either Windows or Macintosh or both without having to purchase a separate version. This was not true with Photoshop. However, with Creative Cloud we no longer sell boxed products and all licenses are multi-platform.
    Photoshop Elements does not have the Subtract or Divide blending modes that were introduced in Photoshop CS5.
    Photoshop and Photoshop Elements can both Transform selected pixels in the following ways: Scale, Rotate, Skew, Distort, and Perspective. Photoshop Elements does not have the Warp Transform option.
    The Photoshop Elements Color Picker does not include the following options available in Photoshop's Color Picker: the Not a web-safe color alert icon, the Add to Swatches and Color Libraries buttons, and the Lab and CMYK models.
    Photoshop Extended CS6 has the following panels that Photoshop Elements 11 does not: 3D*, Brush, Brush Presets, Channels, Character, Character Styles, Clone Source, Color, Layer Comps, Measurement Log*, Notes, Paragraph, Paragraph Styles, Paths, Properties, Styles, Timeline, and Tool Presets.
    Photoshop Elements does not support Extensions such as Mini Bridge and Kuler.
    *In some release versions of Photoshop, there Standard and Extended variants. Marked features are only available in Photoshop Extended, where applicable.
    [EDITORS NOTE: This is a work in progress, this list is not yet comprehensive]

    I found 3 crashes under your name.  2 of them are uncommon, but occur in the ExtensisFontManagement plugin and appear to be due to a bug in the plugin.  The first is a crash on quit, and the second is Extensis attempting to override Alerts for some odd reason, and their override fails.
    The third crash cause happens more frequently, cause unknown, but it looks very, very similar to the Extensis Alert override bug.
    So, try disabling the ExtensisFontManagement plugin, and I suspect your Photoshop CS4 experience will be a lot happier.
