Hi!
Before you further read this thread go to this link that summarizes the new features of Photoshop CS4:

In order to understand the 64-bit capabilities which is the crown jewel of this new version of Photoshop, you are advised to go through:

In order for you to have a black laughter about how Adobe considers people naïve, you may watch this video on youtube:

For those who actually know the Adobe Photoshop pattern of upgrade, they will realize that we are living the same atmosphere of moving from Photoshop 6 to Photoshop 7 !
Yes, indeed this is the true 64-bit version (though our Mac friends will not enjoy that). 64-bit version means the monster of long shots in terms of file sizes that can be dealt with (RAM permits). That means, Photoshop can actively deal with about 4 billion times the file sizes in 32-bit environment, given that RAM is available!
Yes, indeed this is considered to be a major upgrade. However, do not expect a radical change between Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop CS4 (from the practical functionality point of view)!
My advise is that users around the world have two options:
1- Buy this version and pray that Adobe Corporation will charge a very low price for the next upgrade (Photoshop CS5 is expected to contain some impressive features which makes it the best in the chain). This will only serve as a redemption for the money paid to buy almost identical versions which are Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop CS4.
2- If you have Photoshop CS3, wait to upgrade when Photoshop CS5 is released (hopefully in 2009), for the reason that a lot of source code in Photoshop application software has been rewriten from scratch, and, possibly there will be dozens of bugs to be fixed later in Photoshop CS5.
