Movie maker tools

Kinds of Movie Maker

Windows Live Movie Maker 2009

Microsoft completely rewrote Movie Maker in 2009, and did not bundle Movie Maker within Windows 7. Instead Microsoft released Movie Maker as part of the Windows Live Essentials suite (Wave 3). As such, the application was also renamed as "Windows Live Movie Maker". The application was first released in beta form on September 17, 2008 and the final version was officially released on August 19, 2009.

Windows Live Movie Maker 2009 was not compatible with versions of Microsoft Windows prior to Windows Vista.

Windows Live Movie Maker 2011

Windows Live Movie Maker 2011 reintroduced the ability (which was missing from the Windows Live Movie Maker 2009) to add files to your project that are stored on network devices, such as servers. The new version also included the ability to record video clips from a Webcam, as well as inclusion of new animated video titles.On June 24, 2010, the beta version of Windows Live Movie Maker 2011 (Wave 4) was released and shortly after on August 17, 2010, a beta refresh version was released to the public. The final version of Windows Live Movie Maker 2011 was released on September 30, 2010. With the 2011 release, users must install Windows Live Photo Gallery when installing Windows Live Movie Maker, and vice versa.

Movie Maker 2012

The 2012 version was released on August 7, 2012 for Windows 7 and Windows 8 users, and dropped the Live part of the title to be known officially as Windows Movie Maker 2012. Part of Windows Essentials 2012 (Wave 5), the software included new features including audio narration, audio waveforms, audio ducking and emphasis, Vimeo music store integration, support for H.264/MPEG-4 AVCencoding, customizable outlined text, and auto-save features, as well as video stabilization and rolling shutter correction for Windows 8 users.

Photoshop Tools

These tools typically fall under the categories of drawing; painting; measuring and navigation; selection; typing; and retouching. Some tools contain a small triangle in the bottom right of the toolbox icon. These can be expanded to reveal similar tools.While newer versions of Photoshop are updated to include new tools and features, several recurring tools that exist in most versions are discussed below.

MS Paint

Paint (formerly Paintbrush for Windows) is a simple graphics painting program that has been included with all versions of Microsoft Windows. It is often referred to as MS Paint or Microsoft Paint. The program opens and saves files as Windows bitmap (24-bit, 256 color, 16 color, and monochrome, all with the .bmpextension), JPEG, GIF (without animation or transparency, although the Windows 98 version, a Windows 95 upgrade, and the Windows NT4 version did support the latter), PNG (without alpha channel), and TIFF(without multiple page support). The program can be in color mode or two-color black-and-white, but there is no grayscale mode. For its simplicity, it rapidly became one of the most used applications in the early versions of Windows—introducing many to painting on a computer for the first time—and still has strong associations with the immediate usability of the old Windows workspace.

Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop is a graphics editing program developed and published by Adobe Systems.

Adobe's 2003 "Creative Suite" re-branding led to Adobe Photoshop 8's renaming to Adobe Photoshop CS. Thus, Adobe Photoshop CS6 is the 13th major release of Adobe Photoshop. The CS rebranding also resulted in Adobe offering numerous software packages containing multiple Adobe programs for a reduced price. Adobe Photoshop is released in two editions: Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Photoshop Extended, with the Extended having extra 3D image creation, motion graphics editing, and advanced image analysis features. Adobe Photoshop Extended is included in all of Adobe's Creative Suite offerings except Design Standard, which includes the Adobe Photoshop edition.

Alongside Photoshop and Photoshop Extended, Adobe also publishes Photoshop Elements and Photoshop Lightroom, collectively called "The Adobe Photoshop Family". In 2008, Adobe released Adobe Photoshop Express, a free web-based image editing tool to edit photos directly on blogs and social networking sites; in 2011 a version was released for the Android operating system and the iOS operating system.

Adobe distributes Photoshop in both Windows and Macintosh versions.
