Review: Adobe Photoshop CS5

As the industry-standard, Photoshop skills are a necessity if you want to be employable in the graphic design field.

Since Creative Suite 3, Photoshop comes in a Standard version as well as an Extended version with specialized tools and features for the video, engineering, architecture, manufacturing, science, and medical fields.
