ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS4
Because we here on Abduzeedo give you design Inspiration i'll show you some new features from Photoshop CS4. This is how it looks like. For the first time there will be two Photoshop versions (beside Photoshop Lightroom 2).

The first one is the real Photoshop, with some great new features for 699 $.
The second version will be the Photoshop Extended version and it will cost 999 $.
As Adobe sais, the extended version is a greater programm for people who work with film and video and also for motion graphics. You now have the possibility of Breakthrough 3D editing and compositing capabilities and improved video controls to dramatically expand your creative options. Also you now can live move (via drag and drop) the psd to Adobe After Effects.

But don't worry. The usualy Photoshop CS4 will also kick asses. It now has a better Adjustment panel which allow the user manage the very easy.
Also there is a new Mask panel. It allows you to quickly create and edit masks. This panel offers all the tools you need to create editable pixel- and vector-based masks, adjust mask density and feathering, easily select noncontiguous objects, and more.
And now comes my favourite new feature: It is called the Content Aware Scaling. Below you see two pictures. The first one is our picture we shot at the beach (picture 1). But we want to make it more wide. So the only way to do this is to transform it and scale it as wide as we like. But this will affect a lower quality of that picture.
The new Photshop makes this much more better. It automatically fills the spare parts with parts from inside that picture (picture 2) so that it looks like we made it more wide. Awesome right?


ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR CS4

Of course there will also be a new Illustrator CS4 version, which will be sold for 599 $.
Illustrator created a new tool called the Blob Brush. Drawing with this brush will create a clean vector shape even when strokes overlap.
The greatest feature is the new artboard. You can now create a file with up 100 artboards independent, which sizes they have. Finished files can now be saved together. Preview:

For more information please visit the Adobe website where you can watch the new features of Photoshop , Illustrator or the other CS4 Products.







I am so glad it's finally here, but I have one question,
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING WHEN THEY DESIGNED THAT LOGO???????????
Are they joking?
Adobe CS will become a robot soon :P We ask and it will do the job for us:P

"Buying or dying"
lol I love Deke's shows, presentations and videos. he's totaly crazy, fun and he knows how to tech easily.......
It looks pretty good!! Unfortunately it's a bit expensive for me...
I cannot wait for this to come out. I am really excited! However, I do wish there was a cheaper way of doing it. When working for a web company it is a must to keep up with the new updates. It just sucks that they can't make it like an edition to CS3. I am still excited though!!!!
Katie :)
I put a link under my article. Just click the Photoshop link there and youll will get to the Adobe page where they have a video about this. By the way: is my explanation so bad?
contact me at aloa[at]abduzeedo.com
Content Aware Scaling... seriously, if anyone can tell me how that works I'll give them.... ehh, i dono.. whatever..
how does it work guys?
looks nice... adobe gives again a lot to discover.
i will take a look at the presentation on the exposition "photokina" in cologne, on friday this week.
well, maybe i can win someone at a raffie ;D
I first heard about new CS4 release yesterday and suddenly that day turned to be great :D I love the new release! New features..who doesn't enjoy that? :)
oh boy bicubic image views i can't wait
Flickr Photostream
the requirements is killing me...
Well...just look at the guy's head on the right with a baby ;) do you still believe it's the same picture?
I was just going to post something about this but you beat me to it. Great review! I'm so annoyed that Adobe is coming out with CS4 already, I feel like I just started using CS3. But after reading about some of the new little tricks that Photoshop CS4 comes with I've forgiven them. I can't wait to start using it.!
Deke from O'Reilly.com just posted a new Dekepod about CS4. Check it out:
Yay! Now I need a lot of money... (can I exchange a kidney for Ps CS4 Extended?)
I wish that Adobe would do a cheap mass update to CS3 rather than releasing a new CS that costs so much....there are too many bugs within CS3 that should have been fixed before rolling into another CS...I think Adobe has a Case of The Apple Virus. make stuff cost a lot and don't change enough.
They have billions and a very huge team ... I (or other free software developers) can't defeat adobe.
They are charging very high prices, but they can.
Nevertheless, I will not give up. Free software will always have its place.

In case anyone wanted to know, the content-aware resizing was actual a feature Adobe bought and was originally debuted over a year ago here: ftp://ftp1.idc.ac.il/Arik_shamir/SCweb/imret/index.html
Link includes original white paper, etc.
It is an amazing feature though and I had been hoping for it to be included in CS4 and got my wish.
I think we are being cheated, now I have to ask my boss for this version, I have to come up with a really good reason why we should upgrade!! uum?....
The new features looks very promising, I love that they are improving the 3D features coming out of CS3 extended, I can't wait to play around with that,... should be great for incorporating 3D text into my graphics and the "Content Aware" looks awesome!!one of the best things I have seen!!...I hope they improved Adobe Dreamweaver, it has a lot of bugs and they never did do a proper upgrade...and now they want us to buy a new version..uuum? I am sure they will make a lot of money from us.LOL :O)
But they had two versions of Photoshop in Creative Suite 3 in the same fashion, one extended with the 3D and movie features. The Extended came on Design Premium and the non-extended version on Design Standard. They've got rid of Design Standard it seems in CS4.
All the same it certainly looks slicker.
I just finished watching the Release Preview. preparing to preorder the production suite or master suite now.... did anyone else watch this @ 9am?
i just realized...they got rid of clean white letters and are going with odd black letters....with the same colored blocks....lol for a design suite they should have had much better logos. :/
Oh man, I'm eextremely excited
