Well actually, Photoshop CS4 (codename So what can you expect from the 64-bit version of Photoshop
CS4? Well if you are talking about shear speed and not effects or interface
improvements, the average user will not notice much at all. There will be some minor performance enhancements based on
Adobe’s preliminary testing of about 10%. This number is based on what the
average user may use Photoshop CS4 to do, such as opening a 10meg RAW picture and do some image manipulation. Now, if you are
opening a large 3.2 gigapixel image and editing it, you will notice that
Photoshop CS4 will outperform its 32-bit counterpart 10 times over. But let’s
be honest, how many of us really do that! Now I don’t want to get ahead of
myself and lead you to believe that Photoshop CS4 isn’t worth it. I have
already alluded to that in my previous article Photoshop
CS4 is in development, but is it worth it?. In this article I am only
focusing on what Photoshop CS4 has to offer in the 64-bit version in comparison
to the 32-bit version and what affect it will have on you. If you want to know
more about Photoshop CS4 New Features , read the lastest article. One of the things that Photoshop CS4 excels in is creating one picture from multiple images, whether it is a panorama or a multi-layered image. Anybody who knows Photoshop knows that it can ask a lot from your computer. If you want to boost up speed and don’t want to, or can’t run the Photoshop CS4 64-bit version, consider increasing your memory. By minimum standards, with the Photoshop CS4 32-bit version, you should consider running with no less that 4 gig’s of RAM. Most HDR, panoramic or multi-layer images will run much smoother given the extra increase in memory. Furthermore, this will also increase Photoshop’s ability to track your history of changes. Looking back to the Photoshop CS4 64-bit version, one other area
that you will want to note is that all of your plugins will have to be 64-bit as well. This my put a sour taste in
a few peoples mouths as you can not mix 32-bit and 64-bit processes.
Furthermore, you might also need to purchase Bottom line here is that Photoshop CS4 has brought about some very interesting upgrades from the CS3 version, however, if you are considering purchasing the Photoshop CS4 64-bit version, make sure you are dealing with many gigapixels and/or with extremely complex High-Res images.
