Adobe Photoshop CS6 takes advantage of Quadro to create an interactive digital canvas. The GPU enables real-time image rotation, zooming, and panning, and makes changes to the view instantaneous and smooth. Adobe Photoshop CS4 also taps the GPU for 2D and 3D compositing and high-quality antialiasing, making jagged edges of text and objects a thing of the past. Brush resizing and brushstroke preview, 3D movement, high-dynamic-range tone mapping, and color conversion are also accelerated by the GPU.
Adobe After Effects CS6 takes advantage of Quadro to accelerate a variety of creative effects, making it easier than ever to add graphics and visual effects to a video; which allows the artist to quickly move from concept to final product and speeds up workflow. Effects accelerated by Quadro include depth of field, bilateral blur effects, turbulent noise such as flowing water or waving flags, and cartoon effects.
Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 can take advantage of Quadro to accelerate high-quality video effects such as motion, opacity, color, and image distortion. Quadro also enables faster editing of multiple high-definition video streams and graphic overlays, and provides a variety of video output choices for high-quality preview, including DisplayPort, component TV, or uncompressed 10-bit or 12-bit SDI.
