FeaturesAlthough primarily designed to edit images for paper-based printing, Photoshop is used increasingly to produce images for the World Wide Web. Recent versions 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.
Photoshop can deal with a number of different color models:
* RGB color model
* Lab color model
* CMYK color model
* Grayscale
* Bitmap
* Duotone
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 tool named Refine edge that makes selection more streamlined.
The logo for this edition uses typography, with the letters 'Ps' shown in white on a gradient blue, in a move away from the recent "feather" designs.

The latest version comes with Adobe Camera RAW, a plugin developed by Thomas Knoll which can read several RAW file formats from various digital cameras and import them directly into Photoshop. A preliminary version of the RAW plugin was also available for Photoshop 7.0.1 as a $99 USD optional purchase.
While Photoshop is the industry standard image editing program for professional raster graphics, its relatively high suggested retail price (US$600, approximately) has led to a number of competing graphics tools being made available at lower prices. To compete in this market, and to counter unusually high rates of piracy of their professional products, Adobe has introduced Photoshop Elements, a version of Photoshop with many professional features removed, for under US$100. This is aimed firmly at the general consumer market since the feature cuts make it less desirable for prepress work.
