We didn’t get a chance to beta test Photoshop CS4 here at Go Media, but it looks like a worthy upgrade. Here’s a collection of previews & feature lists of the latest & greatest Adobe Photoshop.
If you’re in a rush here is the meat of what I gathered from picking through these previews:
Photoshop CS4 will..
- use the graphics card more aggressively, allowing for smooth zooming, canvas rotation, and other cool 3D effects with good performance
- have the same UI enhancements as the rest of the creative suit: tabs, frames, etc.
- include intelligent scaling, like the kind we’ve ooo’d and ahhh’d about for the past year
- be more flexible because of non-destructive editing via new adjustment options
- may possibly have multi-touch support
- have better masking.
Previews & Feature Lists
Camera Town Preview
This is one of the best previews I could find. Really comprehensive, but long. Looks to be straight from the horse’s mouth.
Pop Photo Hands On
A nice down-to-earth look at some helpful features.
Macworld previews the content-aware scaling
Macworld talks about how cool this feature is. Does anybody remember that this technology was developed a year or more ago, and bought by Adobe?
MacNN Multi Touch
MacNN lets us know that Photoshop will support multi-touch with certain hardware. Cool. Useable?
ZDNet Photoshp CS4 First Look
The ZDNet flavor of Photoshop CS4 preview. Nice, but could use some screenshots.
