Adobe Photoshop CS4 – Is it worth to buy????

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.

I think I have not even realized or used much of the changes made in CS3 yet
so much more to explore still

I usually skip one version anyway

went from Cs to Cs3 avoided cs2 (and glad I waited)

I am not sure how 64 bit will be used by myself personally yet to see if it is a thing I will need or want
it may require computer and/or OS and other changes to hardware & software I am not ready to make just yet

news:>

you mean you have a spare £2600?

I surely do not have that much cash to spend (almost 2x that amount in USa $$- today’s rate 1.8 usd for £1)
business is very bad in USA
Indians will do my job for a fraction
everyone with a camera is a photographer
crap shots can get fixed in post for pennies

no work
houses foreclosures my state highest in USA
rich people scared not spending
middle class wiped by stock crashes
people wait to see who gets elected

So many who wished and schemed and enjoyed seeing USA/GWB fail BUT
all the global boats are tied to USA economy
went we drown many will die with us..

shoulda watched what you wished for…………….

well EU and Brits nice time to travel here and get some bargains maybe shoot a few catalogs, now that hotels, air and expenses are more affordable

we will have happy sunshine and warm days while y’all have dreary winter…………..
