Cs4!

[Johnny Yuma]

Just noticed that all the pictures Moose has put up on his blog in the last week or so have "Adobe Photoshop CS4 Windows" in the EXIF

There has been a *questionable* copy of CS4 floating around. This is the first I've heard of it being used, though.

Any hints on what has improved??? :biggrin:

I really enjoy CS3 (though admittedly, it's my first copy of PS, upgraded from Elements), I don't see much in my daily use that needs improvement. But of course, I'm ever curious! :smile:

Adobe released a beta version in May or so IIRC. It was posted at Adobe Labs. Those DLing CS4, who did not have CS3, were able to use it for 2 days before it expired. Those with CS3 had no expiration. Moose is probably using this beta version.

The new version has a new user interface - as well as a method to go back to the classic interface. It also better utilizes system resources and is thus much quicker when working with large images.

Some suggest it will be out in Q4 of this year.

64 bit!

One of the things is it is supposed to be able to utilize multi core systems for more speed.

64 bit!

I believe the 64 bit is only for windows environment though.

I received an invitation from Adobe to beta test CS4 for windows two months ago. I politely declined. When I beta tested CS2 years ago, it was so buggy that the frequent crashes drove me crazy. I'm letting others do the testing for me now.

Please pass the invite along to me! I'd LOVE to beta test it!!

It looks good from what I have heard.

Not commenting other than to say Q4 sounds very reasonable. I have been a beta tester for Adobe software in the past.

FYI - Photoshop won't be 64-bit on the Mac until CS5 according to an article I read recently regarding 64-bit OS X. Adobe has to port the entire user interface from Carbon to Cocoa. The Carbon UI library is not being ported to 64-bit.
