Photoshop CS4 is in development, but is it worth it?

Well, apparently someone let the cat out of the bag and the word got out. Adobe Photoshop CS4 stonehenge is in development and this can be verified by checking out the bit torrent sites only to see people are downloading Adobe Photoshop CS4. Photoshop CS4 however does not use the same serial numbers Adobe Photoshop CS3 and therefore people may find that loading Adobe Photoshop CS4 stonehenge a little tricky. Apparently, thus far, Photoshop CS4 does not hold a great deal of changes from Photoshop CS3 and perhaps right now, its only claim to fame might be that Adobe Photoshop CS4 only contains Vista compatibility fixes. Some other interesting changes that Adobe Photoshop CS4 will be bring to the table is that they will be creating Photoshop CS4 to have 64bit support for Windows and 32bit support for the MAC’s.

One thing to note here is that anyone that is not running 4 GBs of RAM or more and are not dealing with large collections of high-res images will not notice any speed different with the 64bit version. One way to test this is to load up your Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.0 BETA software and see if you notice any different. Photoshop Lightroom 2.0 has 64bit support for both MAC and PC.

As for when is Adobe going to release the Adobe Photoshop CS4? Well if we assume that history does repeat itself, then we should see the Adobe Photoshop CS4 on sale between October 2008 & April 2009. Adobe’s history when it came to any Photoshop CS versions was to have a new release every 18 to 24 months.

The bottom line here I think is that so far Adobe has not shown us really any BIG improvements with the new Adobe Photoshop CS4 unless you are a professional with huge collections of high-res images and therefore will not be work the extra money to upgrade for Photoshop CS3 to Photoshop CS4.

Poor article, This is a poor article. It's based on Phot

This is a poor article. It's based on Photoshop version that has been on P2P for a long time, nobody knows the real story about this version, although it does seem to originate from Adobe (new mask option in layers palette which was confirmed at a public meeting), but it's in a very early pre-alpha stage so to say that "Photoshop CS4 does not hold a great deal of changes from Photoshop CS3" is incredibly premature.
