Adobe has released a new version of Creative Suite 4, providing a substantial upgrade to both Photoshop CS and Illustrator CS that takes full advantage of 64-bit computing power. The new versions also provide a series of intelligent features that vastly improve image editing capability.
64-bit Creative Suite
Since both Apple Macintosh OSX and Microsoft Windows Vista utilize true 64-bit processing, the new version of CS4 is optimized to leverage the improved performance from those environments. Users with over 4GB RAM and an upgraded video card will see vast speed improvements when working with large and high resolution images. Not only is rendering faster, but you can work with more layers and more images simultaneously without slowdown.

The new release also marks a step forward with the artificial intelligence in CS4 - the new system is designed to optimize photo editing with improved focus, depth and resolution optimization. In our test, we found that many images which originally came out as unusable were transformed into relatively clear pictures using this feature set. Even better, the new Online feature Kuhler (Cooler) allows you to share, collaborate and review other artists work, along with downloading public use textures, patterns and colors to enhance your photos.
In sum, Adobe has done an impressive job with the new CS4 that makes it a strong buy for photographers, graphic designers and hobbyists alike - if you're running OSX or Vista on a newer machine and often use Photo Shop or Illustrator, then Creative Suite Four is a must buy for your collection.
