[Michael Wolf]

The new Photoshop CS4 has been recently released. Anyone tried it yet? I'm about to install a trial version, gotta check it out.

I wait till it's available as a download

Same here

Let us know your verdict on the trial version Michael.

[arjenp]

It looks almost the same as CS3. If you search on Google Images you can see it.

One that you pay for I hope?

Cool thing about it that it can use ypur graphic card for processing, if you have a modern card.

[Michael Wolf]

Well, I wouldn't say its worth paying a thousand bucks for it, but its pretty cool anyway. Much more different from CS3, than CS3 was from CS4. Talking about airplane pictures - Smart Sharpening appears to be working better, with less jaggies. Some nice tools added, and color tools are working nicer too, i guess. I'm not gonna pay a grand for it anyway .

Wow ! I don't know if it's because of the graphic gard feature seahawk mentioned, but everything is so much faster...

Regardind the reglular tools (USM, colors, shadow-highlight...), I don't see a big difference...

I found a new love for the on-screen or "in photo" curve adjustment function, since I got my legal copy of PS CS4.

And as a Senoir-Screener and work-flow maker, is this a must have for everybody(CS4)?

[seahawk]

So far I would say no. It is a bigger step then the upgrade from CS2 to CS3, but if you just want to edit your pics, you do not need it. Any Photoshop version since 6 and many other programs will do.

Any Photoshop version since 6 and many other programs will do.

Best bit of advice I ever heard.

True, I have CS3, mostly for other branches of photography with processing that would get a manipulation rejection here. For aircraft pictures, well, with CS3 I'm barely scratching the surface of it's features so I certainly won't be "upgrading" to CS4.

[arjenp]

Is there a difference between PS CS4 and PS CS4 Extended?

[seahawk]

Yes, extended has more 3D features mostly for doctors etc.
