Enjoy smoother rotation, panning, and zooming

Adjust images in half the time

Bypass cropping and retouching with intelligent Content-Aware Scaling
Use revolutionary Content-Aware Scaling to automatically recompose an image as you resize it, smartly preserving vital areas as the image adapts to different aspect ratios. Get the perfect image in one step without time-intensive cropping and retouching.

Composite images in seconds for panoramas or extended-focus photos
Automatically stitch horizontal or vertical photos to create seamless panoramas using Photomerge® technology. Combine a series of shots with different focal points into a single color-corrected image with automatic correction for vignettes and lens distortion.

Easily apply localized changes to camera raw images
Make localized changes — even gradient-based adjustments — to camera raw images with ease. Simply paint the area to be affected, and then use sliders to control the change. Corrections are nondestructive, so your original files are maintained in their pristine state.
