Photoshop CS4 Released New Features

There will be not doubt that Photoshop CS4, codename Stonehenge, will have some amazing new features. Now that Photoshop CS4 is out, there has been some amazing features that have been released and what people can expect. You can visit our webpage and buy Photoshop CS4 to get a $10.00 discount and get free shipping or visit the Amazon website. You can also get 30% off Lightroom 2, along with a full or upgrade version of Photoshop CS4.

I have already written about how it will have a 64-bit version, ( Photoshop CS4 or Photoshop CS64 ) which will drastically speed up the processing of large images, but this article will discuss what you can expect in terms of features.

One of the great aspects of Adobe is that they actually listen to their customers and the suggestions that they put forth. Weather it be on the Adobe Photoshop forums, blogs or emailed suggestions, they will generally take the top 100 most requested features and use that information to develop the next version, in this case Photoshop CS4 Beta. The one thing that you have to remember is that Adobe is in the business of making money, not software. Software is just their way to make the money. With that being said, Adobe will take those suggestions and create a few of their own and determine which will benefit them the most in terms of revenue. As far as I am concerned, that is a smart strategy, especially when you see this list of awesome new features in Photoshop CS4.

• Enhanced masking feature
  Layer Mask Density option allows you to fade away the effect of a layer mask gradually revealing the parts that are hidden.
