That was  unacceptable to Reuters, which yanked the photo and said it wouldn't  accept any others from the photographer. The copying is most evident in  the smoke to the upper right.  Image manipulation existed long before Photoshop, of course, but  software makes the process that much easier. This photo is from Hany  Farid's collection of images showing photo-tampering throughout history. <img src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim//2010/02/18/reuters1_424x285_370x278.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The most dramatic departure in the Photoshop product is Lightroom.  This software is dedicated to handling raw images, with all their  advantages and drawbacks, though it will accommodate other formats as  well.  Thomas Knoll, the original Photoshop programmer, also was an engineer on  the Lightroom project, code-named Shadowland. Mark Hamburg initiated  it.  Adobe used a much more open beta testing and feedback process for  Lightroom than it had with Photoshop. It was beat to the market by  Apple's conceptually similar Aperture, though. <img src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim//2010/02/18/lr_3_sm_540x334.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The toolstrip traditionally on the left edge of the Photoshop interface  has changed gradually over the last 20 years. The tools are more complex  than they appear: In the newer versions of the software, the small  triangles by each icon lead to pop-up menus with several sub-options. <img src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim//2010/02/18/toolbars_540x630.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />New versions of Photoshop are under way, and one feature that can be  expected is a newly automated selection tool. Isolating subjects from  their backgrounds is challenging even with simple images, but  complicated elements such as hair make it even worse. This example,  taken from an Adobe  sneak peak, shows new automation for selecting a cat. <img src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim//2010/02/18/photoshop_selection_540x339.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Photoshop has several niche uses, including medical analysis such as  this X-ray image. To help accommodate some of these areas, Adobe  introduced its more expensive Photoshop Extended version starting with  CS3.     <img src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim//2010/02/18/adobe_xray_540x356.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />In Photoshop CS4, tool icons have a multitude of options. Adobe is  evaluating ways to clean up Photoshop's sprawling interface, which also  has many panels, menus, and submenus. <img src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim//2010/02/18/photoshop_menus_540x412.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />For most of its history, Photoshop's icon prominently featured an eye. <img src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim//2010/02/18/photoshop_icons_540x257.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Photoshop 1.0 was designed to work on monochrome monitors that could  display only black or white pixels. The splash reflects the reality of  digital imaging at the time. <img src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim//2010/02/18/Photoshop1_splash_540px_540x288.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Photoshop CS4 was code-named Stonehenge, and this splash screen shows  through an Easter egg in the software.  Among other Photoshop code names: version 2.5 for Mac was Merlin and for  Windows was Brimstone; version 3.0 was Tiger Mountain; version 4.0 was  Big Electric Cat; version 5.0 was Strange Cargo; version 6.0 was Venus  in Furs; version 7.0 was Liquid Sky; Photoshop CS was Dark Matter; CS2  was Space Monkey; and CS3 was Red Pill. <img src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim//2010/02/18/Adobe_Stonehenge_540x376.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
