What’s new for CS5
Mark Galer, Philip Andrews · 2014
More editing power to you Photoshop has always provided photographers with a plethora of controls aimed at giving them tools needed for the precise enhancement of their images. CS5 continues this tradition with a very important update of Adobe Camera Raw (ACR6) featuring a complete rewriting of the demosaicing engine to produce higher quality raw conversions, a quantum leap forward in noise reduction, better sharpening, and more control of post-crop vignetting. The changes here are so good that it has me reworking raw files I have already processed, just so that I can take advantage of the quality gains offered by ACR6. The new Merge To HDR Pro dialog offers substantially more creative control and precision over the processing and styling of High Dynamic Range photos and the lens correction features (available as a filter in Photoshop, in ACR6, and via batch processing) provide customized correction of key lens aberrations.
