Photoshop CS for All Users

No matter how you use Photoshop CS, you can take advantage of improved file management, and better ways to track and securely share your work.

Enhanced File Browser

In Adobe Photoshop CS, the File Browser comes into its own as your digital imaging hub. With flags, keywords, and editable metadata, you can now use the File Browser to quickly organize and locate the image assets you need. Perform batch procedures on groups of images without having to first open the image files in Photoshop. (See Using the File Browser (Photoshop).)

Easily customize your keyboard shortcuts

Create, edit, and save multiple keyboard shortcut sets for menu items, tools, and palette commands, so the functions that you use most are always at your fingertips. (See Customizing keyboard shortcuts.)

Quickly create, view, and edit custom file information

Use the File Browser to quickly search for files using editable metadata, without having to open each file. Fully customize your image metadata with custom panels and fields in the File Info dialog, and use the File Browser to edit the metadata of one or many images at a time. (See Adding metadata to files.)

Create slide shows and PDF presentations

Easily bind multiple files into a single, multi-page Adobe PDF document, complete with optional page transitions and security. (See Creating a PDF presentation.)

Collaborate with Web photo galleries

Use professionally-designed Web Photo Gallery templates, including support for client feedback with no extra Web coding required. (See Creating Web photo galleries (Photoshop).)

Track your editing history

Save your editing history in a external log file and in metadata attached to individual files. (See Working with the Edit History Log.)

Easily access and use multiple filters

The new Filter Gallery brings Photoshop CS filters into a single, easy-to-use dialog. Now you can access, control, and apply multiple filters at once, with a new, larger preview for easier planning of stacked filter effects. (See Using the Filter Gallery.)

Use enhanced scripting

Save time by automating repeated tasks, such as outputting your layers to files or saving Layer Comps as separate pages of an Adobe PDF file, using custom or new built-in scripts. See the documentation available in your Photoshop CS/Scripting Guide folder.

Customize the Help menu

Use the new how-to topics by choosing them from the Help menu. Or, create your own how-to topic and have it appear in the Help menu. (For more information, choose Help > How to Create How Tos.)
