Photoshop CS4 Extended
A third dimension: Ars reviews Photoshop CS4 Extended.
It's that time again: the latest version of everyone's favorite missile faker and beauty maker has been released, and just in time for Christmas! Probably the first thing that most readers will think when they hear that Adobe Photoshop CS4 is in stores is, "didn't CS3 just come out?" Yes, it came out in April of 2007, so CS4 has had a short development time by anyone's measure. Still, Adobe is definitely capable of adding compelling features in such a short time, and Photoshop CS4's bag of tricks is quite ambitious:
There is a lot going on in this release, and the product's potential appeal is wide. Aside from Microsoft Word, there aren't many programs that fill the large, multicolored shoes that Adobe's flagship app does. Graphic designers, 3-D artists, photo hobbyists, scientists, video and fine artists all make up a small portion of the huge user base that Photoshop must cater to, so let's see how the new features stack up.
- GPU acceleration for fast document drawing
- 64-bit on Windows Vista
- Adjustments and Masks Palette
- Content Aware Scaling
- Painting directly on 3D objects
- 16-bit printing on Mac OS X 10.5 and up
- A new tabbed interface
- RAW 5
