Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Filehippo Features

File Browser

For those of you who have gnashed your teeth over the lack of a browser within Photoshop, your anticipation is over. Photoshop 7.0 sports this much-requested feature.

Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Filehippo file browser

The File Browser is an excellent tool that allows you to look at a folder full of images directly from Photoshop regardless of the format of those images and even if the images don’t have thumbnails or image previews. This saves you from going to the finder or Windows explorer to find an image. It’s similar to what you find in Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Filehippo Elements and PaintShop Pro.

Using easy-to-view thumbnails, you can quickly organize and retrieve images from your hard drive, external drives, CDs, and disks directly with Photoshop. The File Browser provides metadata about images displayed, such as date created, date modified, and EXIF (Exchange Image File) information from digital cameras. You can also rotate images and batch rename, rank, and sort files. In addition to rank, the File Browser lets you sort images by file name, file width and height, file size, file type, resolution, color profile, date created, date modified, and copyright. For further flexibility, you can view files by each criteria in ascending or descending order. The Browser even helps you manage folders and files by allowing you to create and rename folders; and delete, open, move, copy, or rename image files.

Anyone that uses a digital camera will really appreciate the File Browser as most images from digital cameras often don’t have meaningful names. Now you can view them with the File Browser and just open the ones you want.

Healing Brush & Patch Tool

Photoshop 7.0 makes it easier to eliminate stray hairs from a portrait or remove artifacts such as dust, scratches, blemishes, and wrinkles from an image.

Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Filehippo healing brush patch feature

The Healing Brush tool lets you correct a small number of pixels, causing them to disappear into the surrounding image. In a similar way to the Clone Stamp tool (Rubber Stamp), you use the Healing Brush tool to paint with sampled pixels from an image or pattern. However, the Healing Brush tool also matches the texture, lighting and shading of the sampled pixels to the source pixels. As a result, the repaired pixels often blend more seamlessly into the rest of the image.

The Patch tool lets you repair selections made using a selection tool (including channel operations) using pixels from another area or a pattern. Like the Healing Brush tool, the Patch tool matches the texture, lighting and shading of the sampled pixels to the source pixels. This tool is especially useful for repairing large flaws in areas of identical tone or color. This tool also lets you fine-tune and modify a selection (e.g., feather the edges) before the repair is applied to it.

If you do a lot of difficult restoration and or retouching work these two new tools will likely make your job a lot quicker, easier, and downright fun. You can see the benefit of restoring vintage photographs in a way that allows you to keep the textured matting around a picture and the image’s overall aged appearance as part of its charm. Previously, if you cleaned up an image with a definite texture of its own, you often lost that texture on the places where you had to paint over a scratch or spot. Both tools use a complicated algorithm to blend the source and destination areas so that you get a better blend than with the Clone Stamp tool. These tools are addictive. Just use them once and you are hooked. See view to the left for a view of a before and after image using the Healing Brush. I used the tool to eliminate lines on the forehead and under the eyes.

Web Transparency and Remapping

Photoshop and ImageReady now let you make Web page elements transparent by simply clicking on the color you want to knock out. You can remap more than one color at a time and easily restore colors to their original settings. See the image to the left for a view of the before and after adjustments to a logo image with the cyan border changed to transparency and the white color around the text turned to green. It’s easy to return to original states or colors by clicking the colored areas of the swatches in the Color Table. This is an excellent feature. You can preview your changes right away, and you haven’t changed the original file.

web transparency and remapping

The GIF file format does not support partial transparency, and so converts any transparency in an image to 100%. Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Filehippo offers a unique solution by creating a dither pattern to simulate varying levels of opacity for graphics when placed over either solid or patterned backgrounds on Web pages. Because the transparent pixels in the image do not require blending with a matte color when saving the file, a single graphics may be used in multiple places on multiple backgrounds. While this is a good idea, the effect could be smoother. It still looks more like an obvious dither than a natural, soft shadow.

Enhanced Web Output

When optimizing images for the Web, you can keep vector art and text looking crisp by letting Photoshop or ImageReady automatically assign a higher priority to those areas.

This lets you reduce the overall file size by giving the areas you want to emphasize–vector art or text–a higher quality than other image areas. See the image to the left for a view of the dialog box where you can prioritize areas of the image for different amounts of compression.

Rollovers Palette

ImageReady’s Rollovers palette has received a total makeover which is a solid improvement over the previous version. The new Rollovers palette lets Web designers see all the slices, rollovers, image maps, and animations of an image in a single palette, making it significantly easier to author and navigate Web content.

rollovers_palettes

An added feature is the ability to add layer-based rollovers by simply clicking a button in the palette. See image to the left for a view of the Rollovers palette showing an animation, slices, rollovers, and an image map. Another interesting addition to rollovers is the Selected state. ImageReady generates the code necessary to create navigation bars with simultaneous rollover effects. This new revision of the Rollovers palette is certainly easier to use than the previous ones.

Workspaces

The new Workspace option in Adobe Photoshop 7.0 gives you the capability of saving palettes to specific locations to make accessing tools for different types of work quicker and more efficient. You might use one set of palettes, say Layers, Channels, and Info, when doing color correction, but only want Layers, Brushes and Swatches showing when you are repainting parts of your file. The states of your palettes, such as whether the Color palette is in RGB or CMYK, are saved as well, Also presets include the size of palettes; so if you typically expand the size of the Layers or History palette while working on a particular type of image, even that level of customization will be retained.

With preset workspaces, if you share the computer with someone else, you can still instantly access your personalized Photoshop desktop. You can also program Action Function Keys to make switching between workspaces even faster. The Workspace option is a great time-saver. Adobe certainly did listen to users when they asked for a quick way to hide and show palettes.

Tool Presets

For those of you who have had the experience of choosing all the settings you need for a tool, then changing them later to work on a different project, and then wondering what you’re missing as you try to find the settings that made that tool perfect for the preceding job, PS 7.0 offers you an excellent solution: Tool Presets.

adobe photoshop 7.0 tool_presets

You can create Tool Presets, establishing settings for individual tools so you don’t need to keep adjusting options each time you return to a tool. The Tool Presets palette makes it easy to name, save, and apply presets for any tool in the toolbox. For example, you can choose default fonts, point sizes, and text colors for the Text tool, choose specific brush settings for the Eraser and set up the way the Gradient tool will work automatically. Any tool in the toolbox can be customized and the custom settings saved. You can create multiple settings for individual tools (and for each version of each tool), again making it possible to customize your environment so it’s quick and easy to set up for specific projects or projects of a particular type. Besides the Tool Presets palette, which you can bring up and down like a regular palette from the Window menu, there is also a click, drag and select version of the palette available at the top left of the Options bar.

Once you start creating these presets, you will wonder how you functioned without them. This is a welcome addition to Photoshop. See image to the left for a view of the Tool Presets palette.

Auto Color Command

With Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Filehippo, you have a new option for color correction, the Auto Color Command, which provides even more reliable color correction than Auto Levels or Auto Contrast and is easily applied with the click of a mouse. This feature removes color casts, assuring you of consistent and accurate colors in your images. It’s in the Image menu, in the Adjustments submenu.

adobe photoshop autocolor command

The above image shows you the difference in using the Auto Levels and the Auto Color command. The image before adjustments (left) contains a yellowish color cast. After the Auto Levels command is applied (middle), the contrast is improved but the color cast remains. The Auto Color command (far right) removes the yellowish cast and brings out the image’s true colors.

Data-Driven Graphics

The new Variables feature in ImageReady 7.0 lets you automate the preparation of repetitive artwork with data-driven graphics. You can create visually-rich template designs and define objects in the template as variables.

For example, a Web banner might use variables for a product name and company logo. The data sets can be previewed directly in ImageReady. Scripts, Web production tools such as GoLive, or dynamic image servers such as AlterCast can then link these variables to data stored in an ODBC-compliant source in order to quickly generate an unlimited number of unique variations.

Paint Engine and Brushes Palette

After removing the Brushes palette entirely in Photoshop 6, Adobe has reinstated it in Version 7.0. However, this time the Brushes palette has become three times as big and five times as powerful. The new adobe photoshop filehippo painting engine lets you create exceptional imagery by simulating traditional painting techniques (including pastels and charcoal) with wet and dry brush effects and use brushes to apply natural effects, such as grass and leaves. In addition, you can create your own distinctive Photoshop canvases by scanning a variety of materials or use the canvas textures included with the software.

In addition to creating new brushes, called brush presets, you can edit existing brush presets to create new ones. The Brushes palette includes options for brush shape, tilt, spacing, scatter, jitter, diameter, texture, and shading. In addition, you can adjust a brush’s opacity, assign a painting mode, and control the flow. A dynamic preview at the bottom of the Brushes palette reflects changes made to these dynamics, giving you some idea of how the brush will be applied to your canvas. Also, a limitless number of painting effects can be created by combining two different brushes. See images to the left for a view of the Brushes palette and the Brushes palette controls.

With this new painting engine, you can take full advantage of your Wacom graphics tablet’s pressure sensitivity, including tilt and airbrush thumbwheel features, for even greater control over brushstrokes.

I think the painting features that Adobe has included in Photoshop 7.0 are an excellent addition. If you are a serious painter, you might be more inclined to use Procreate Painter. Yet, even though Photoshop 7.0 might not have all the special painting features that Painter has, for most designers I think PS 7.0 will more than likely meet their needs in the painting area. And it does not have the steep learning curve that Painter has.

Pattern Maker

Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Filehippo has made creating patterns and textures for your work easier by adding a handy tool to the Filters menu, the Pattern Maker. You can use it to create patterns from your current image or from the clipboard by simply making a selection. There are options you can change to modify your pattern to create new ones and they are all saved temporarily, allowing you to scroll through and keep or delete them.

photoshop pattern maker feature

When you have patterns you really like, you can quickly save them to your current pattern presets and then choose the one you want to fill your current layer. You can generate realistic and abstract patterns from everyday image elements such as grass, rocks, bark, and sand. You can then use these patterns for Web backgrounds, enhance printed or on-screen artwork, or produce unique new images in combination with the painting engine. You can save your favorite pattern tiles as a pattern preset to use with any tool or command that uses pattern presets, such as Pattern Overlay in Layer Style, the Healing Brush tool, the Pattern Stamp tool, or the Fill command. See the image to the left for a view of the options for the Pattern Maker.

Liquify Enhancements

If you’ve been using Photoshop’s Liquify command and wished that you could apply the same distortions to more than one file, you’ll be thrilled that you can now load and save a mesh to work with. You can apply the same mesh to different images; experiment on a low-resolution image, for example, and then apply the mesh to a high-resolution version.

liquify_images

With the new Turbulence brush, you can create effects such as smoke or fire or use the new backdrop option to view individual layers or a flattened version of the file so that you can see your distortions in context as you create them. And the enhanced Liquify interface gives you greater control over image warping with zoom, pan, and multiple undo. See graphic to the left for an example of what can be done with the Liquify command and the Turbulence brush.

PDF Security

Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Filehippo offers complete support for Adobe Acrobat 4.0 security settings, allowing you to add tighter security to your Photoshop PDF files before sharing them with others online or adding them to an Adobe PDF workflow.

pdf_security_feature

You can set password protection to keep users who don’t know the password from opening the file. Or set one password to open the file and another to allow printing or editing. See the image to the left for a view of the security settings.

Picture Package Enhancements

A more interactive interface with previews and custom settings has been added to this feature. You can print multiple images on one page, saving time and materials. Enhancements to Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Filehippo let you print to different page sizes (8×10, 10×16, 11×17) and add labels or text (copyright notices or captions) to each image for printing. You can output the images as one flattened document or to separate layers.

Web Photos Gallery

The Web Photo Gallery lets you quickly and easily showcase your work online by posting a gallery page of images. Photoshop 7.0 offers sophisticated new templates to give you more flexibility. A new security option lets you enter text or place the file name, caption, or copyright information on the image as a watermark.

XMP Support

Photoshop 7.0 supports XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform), a format developed by Adobe for enhancing workflows so that content can be applied seamlessly between print, Web, eBooks, and other media. By adding metadata in XMP, the keywords you give Photoshop 7.0 files can be indexed by Internet search engines, among other benefits.

Text Support

Finally, Photoshop can spell check your text and the program also provides the added ability to find and replace text content. You can even spell-check in multiple languages within the same file or correct spelling on one text layer or across all text layers in the same document. This will be a significant benefit to users working with both print and web-bound images, helping to eliminate typos.
