I really don’t see any WOW factor in CS4 however Bridge and Camera Raw look good. The improvement in Dodge and Burn might prove helpful in photo restoration which is my primary interest. I will do the upgrade primarily for Bridge and ACR.

I really like the content aware scaling tool
i think its pretty amazing and may become useful often
and what’s this MP3 thing Martin was talking about?

I agree with Reeves as well. I didn’t see anything that made me say “wow, I better upgrade to CS4…and fast.” I saw some neat things (3D and rotation tool) but I don’t think not having them will affect me in the least. At least with the rotation tool, the work around in CS3 is extremely simple and fast if you’ve done it a few times.

I’ll wait until CS5.

“… Please keep providing tutorials that work with older versions …”

Yes, that would be nice!

I agree with Michael Reeves, especially the request to you guys to keep providing tutorials for older versions. Well for at least CS3 (if not CS2)

Well as for me, I’m going to stay with CS3. I know that there’s always a lot of hype with the release of a NEW version, but I’m not seeing anything I can’t live without. I gotta admit, there are some interesting looking toys, but nothing crucial.

With an 18 month development schedule, I can’t afford to keep trying to stay current every time, given the cost of the Suite. I’ll hold out for CS5. What’s another 18 months?

Please keep providing tutorials that work with older versions, cause I really find them useful.

I think Photoshop has nothing to do with 3D. There are much better tools for this! I also don’t want to listen my mp3 with Photoshop!
Other features like the rotation of the canvas (I’m a WACOM user) and the adjustment panel are great.
I also like the feature of adjusting the size of the brush in a faster way(as shown at Photoshop World – I think). By the way, this is the way Maya do it for a long time.
But all at all, the best would be the GPU support. So you can work way faster – I hope!
