Imaging Readers’ Choice — Gold Award: Photoshop CS3 Extended

Suitable for manufacturing professionals, engineers, medical applications and scientific researchers, Photoshop CS3 Extended imaging software renders and incorporates 3-D images into 2-D composites, edits motion graphics on video layers, and probes images with measurement, analysis and visualization tools. Users can extract quantitative information from images with measurement tools and calibrate or set the scale of an image, and then use selection tools to define and calculate distance, perimeter, area and other measurements. The software also allows users to record data points in a measurement log and export data, including histogram data, to a spreadsheet for further analysis.
