Adobe Photoshop CS4 Review
Adobe’s latest Photoshop CS4 version is packed with lots of fresh new features and updated interface. Adobe Photoshop CS4 copes in both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Vista versions. The 64-bit version allows you to hande very large images with less disk space swapping and speeding up the operations. Photoshop requires that you manually allocate a specific amount of RAM to it, rather than its acquiring the RAM on the fly.
The new interface is very well designed for users. Adobe Photoshop CS4 includes improved dodge, burn and saturation tools and amazing content-aware scaling. The mask panel can allow you to select an area which can be manipulated and even inverted which is good for selective colour images. Photoshop CS4 Extended also features 3D support. Two dimensional images can be changed to 3D by giving them x, y and z co-ordinates and these images can also be wrapped around imported 3D images. Photoshop CS4 also works in conjunction with Google 3D warehouse where thousands of 3D images are available to import. Merging a 2D image onto a 3D image is very easy with the only command being the Merge button. The 2D layer will then acquire all the 3D attributes such as decay detail, colour and reflections.

- New Adjustments panel

I run a small photo studio and i also work as a web designer and Adobe Photoshop has been the bread and butter of my job. Photoshop is really the best photo editing tool that i have ever used.
