Adobe Creative Suite 5 Printing Guide 56
Chapter 3: Adobe Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop CS5 Extended
It is rare that a final job comes to you as a Photoshop file; images are
usually placed into page layouts or illustration files for design and
output. So, in addition to being mindful of basic image attributes within
Photoshop, you must also keep in mind how those images are handled
and output by those other applications.
As in Creative Suite 4, there are two versions of Photoshop in Creative
Suite 5: Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop CS5 Extended. Photoshop CS5
is part of Design Standard; Photoshop CS5 Extended is part of Design
Premium, Web Premium, Production Premium, and Master Collection.
New features in Photoshop CS5 include:
•Intelligent Selection Technology: Extract subjects from backgrounds
more easily, using the new Smart Radius option within the Rene Edge
function.
•Content-Aware Fill and Heal: Replace deleted areas with automati-
cally-constructed content replicating the original background. e
Spot Healing Brush also has a Content-Aware mode that facilitates
easier retouching.
•Puppet Warp: Perform controlled distortions of layer content or
selected areas.
•Mixer Brush Painting: Realistic pressure-sensitive painting eects.
•Actions: Printing is now a recordable function, and can thus be stored
in an Action (including OS-specic seings).
•CS Live: Use CS Review (a component of CS Live) to collaborate or
orchestrate online reviews.
Photoshop CS5 Extended includes the above new and enhanced
features, plus these new features:
•3D Repoussé: Convert the contents of any oating layer (including
text, which will be rasterized) into 3D objects. Apply beveled eects
and assign textures to individual surfaces. Create and import custom
textures.
The integration between Photoshop and the other Creative Suite 5
components enables you and your customers to take advantage of the
flexibility afforded by the native Photoshop format. Multiple layers can
be used for complex compositing and color correction; type and other
vector components can add to visual interest, and consistent color
management across Creative Suite 5 ensures predictable output.

While your workflow has its own particular requirements, some general
rules about resolution and color space still apply. When you supply
specifications to your customers, to help them prepare jobs for
submission, it’s important to make sure that they’re educated about
issues you encounter with image content. The increasing use of digital
cameras means that many designers are submitting their own images,
rather than relying on professional scanner operators to handle the
scaling, color, retouching, and resolution control that previously was the
province of print service providers or color trade shops. This section will
help you educate customers, as well as provide guidance for handling
customer images that need modification to solve printing problems.
Resolution
Whether its origin is a digital camera or scanner, an image is composed
of pixels (short for “picture element”). The number of these little
colored squares per linear inch (or per centimeter, depending on your
system of measurement) is described as the resolution of the image,
