File browser Use the File Browser to quickly organize and retrieve images from your hard
drive, external drives, CDs, and disks directly. Rotate images before opening them, batch
rename, sort files, and manage image folders—all within the File Browser. The File Browser
also displays image metatada, such as date created, date modified, and Exchangeable
Image File (EXIF) information from digital cameras. See
(Photoshop)" on page
Actions Automate routine tasks such as batch processing by recording the steps as an
action. Then simply click a button in the Actions palette to apply the action to other
projects. For everyday jobs, turn the action into a droplet. Save the droplet on your
desktop so that you can simply drag-and-drop to apply the action to individual files or
folders of images. See
Metadata support Repurpose, archive, or automate files in a workflow using XMP
(Extensible Metadata Platform) format to embed metadata into a document. You can also
ensure that image information—such as caption, credits, and copyright—travel with the
file. See "Adding file information (Photoshop)" on page
Develop a reliable workflow
Keep files moving efficiently from the beginning of the process to the end.
Cross-platform compatibility Complete cross-platform support ensures a smooth
workflow between Windows and Mac OS systems.
WebDAV support Connect Photoshop to a WebDAV server, and enjoy the benefits of
workgroup management. You can streamline collaboration by making sure the entire
team has access to the files they need—with no fear that anyone will overwrite updates.
See "Managing files with WebDAV (Photoshop)" on page
Annotation tools Attach non-printing review comments or production notes to your
Photoshop file with the notes tool, or use the audio annotation tool to record a voice
message. See "Annotating images (Photoshop)" on page
PDF security Protect your images by assigning passwords to your Photoshop PDF files.
Use passwords to keep unauthorized people from opening a document or to disable
printing and editing. See
page 450.
Tight integration The familiar Adobe interface makes it easy to use Photoshop in
tandem with other Adobe software. See
on page 18.
Maintain color precisely
Keep color consistent across different devices and count on reliable output to any media.
