Easy animation creation with
the Animation palette*

3D compositing and
texture editing*
Easily render and incorporate
rich 3D content into your 2D
composites—even edit textures
on 3D models directly within
Photoshop Extended and
immediately see the results.
Photoshop Extended supports
common 3D interchange formats,
including 3DS, OBJ, U3D, KMZ,
and COLLADA, so you can import,
view, and interact with most
3D models.

2D and 3D measurement tools*
Extract quantitative information
from images with new measure-
ment tools. Easily calibrate or set
the scale of an image, and then
use any of the Photoshop Extended
selection tools to define and
calculate distance, perimeter, area,
and other measurements. Record
data points in a measurement
log and export data, including
histogram data, to a spreadsheet
for further analysis.
