I am looking forward to utilizing my MBP's multi-touch trackpad with CS4. :geek:

It looks awesome, but my poor old computer can barely handle CS3...Anyone know what the memory/ram requirements are for CS4?

I use PS CS4 on Windows Vista Ultimate. Actually I use 2 versions of PS; CS3 and 4 on my system because sometimes Photoshop CS4 works very slowy on my PC so if your pc configuration is much better, i suggest to you CS3.

But i must say this; CS 4 is very good and advanced. For example when you zoom to more and more grids are appearing. Grids are very useful for Web Designers i think.

I've been playing around with Photoshop CS4 a little bit, and I believe it's a very solid upgrade. The interface has been much improved in terms of usability. The interface now sort of works like a browser with each open image having a "tab". Works very good for organizational tasks. You can also bump the tab out to its own window like you did in CS3.

Here's the article on PSDTUTS that somebody above mentioned:

I only got one present this year, and I brought it for myself. I brought Adobe CS4 Master Collection, it took me a whole year to save up. But in my opinion its worth it.

I upgraded to CS4 a week ago and it was definitely a great upgrade! I have only had time to really play with photoshop but I love the new set up, resizing brushes on the fly, grids, etc. There is a lot more features (for a lot of the products) that are presented really well on the Instructional CD or on Adobetv website.

Photoshop and Dreamweaver CS4 are really worth it. You'll know what I mean as soon as you use it. The others you can pass on....
I'm the PHP guru around here. Really. PM me if you got a project. (I can also do PSD->XHTML/CSS and any other web development related job).

Yes, Dreamweaver has some really interesting features like live view.

PS CS4 is way faster in my experience then CS3 is. Plus the Content-Aware Scaling is really brilliant.

CS4 is nice, I have the suite on my work computer. In my experience, there isn't a whole lot of difference between CS3 and CS4.

If you have multiple images open in Photoshop, they are displayed in a tabbed palette within Photoshop. Dreamweaver looks a little different as well.

I currently have both cs3 and cs4, and by far, i prefer the cs4! for the most part they are extremely similar... but its the small things that really helped me switch..
There are some great videos about the differences here...

CS4 is not a necessary upgrade

Postby LYONS » Tue Feb 10, 2009 1:50 am

Illustrator CS4: new guides are cool, but overall it hasn't changed much.
Photoshop CS4: nice but not earth shattering (content aware marketing strategy :D ).
Dreamweaver CS4: still a bit of a dog...I like CODA better.
Flash CS4: some fun new stuff for animators, the AS panel still sucks the big one
InDesign CS4: meh.

I'm using CS4, but PS CS4's performance on my PC is terrible compared to CS3.

Photoshop CS4 crashes when video card acceleration (the new feature in CS4) is used...

I wouldn't upgrade if you have CS3...
