Included is discussion about:

• Camera Raw (over 200 formats natively supported inside of Photoshop)
• Simple painting and graduated filer/gradient tools inside the RAW environment (the cool thing about doing it in RAW is that all the settings are non-destrictive - same as some of the features in Adobe Lightroom)
• Dial in adjustments using brushing tools in camera RAW
• A plugin called pixel bender that harnesses the power of the GPU to let you do a ton of things on the fly (look for the pixel bender at labs.adobe.com)
• Applying photos as a texture onto a 3D surface
• 3D navigator tool for rotating on multiple axes
• Controlling lights and sources of light in 3D images
• Painting Directly on 3D surfaces
• Mixing 2D and 3D together - applying 2D imagery to a 3D environment
