Photoshop CS4

I was just getting use to Photoshop CS3 when Adobe decided to bring out the new Photoshop CS4 late last year. I must admit I've been reluctant to try it out and I've only had a quick look at it recently. What I quickly noticed was the new adjustment and mask panel, making the use of both these feature quicker and easier to use. Other new features include intellgent scaling which automatically analyses the image as you adjust it and intelligently recomposes it to preserve the most visually interesting areas, extended depth of field features, new 3D layer features etc. Check it out here
