CS4 preview....

Go to last post
The automatic depth of field tool looks good. The camera manufacturers will start adding a custom bracketing function using the focus points, either top, middle and bottom or left middle and right, or all.

It looks like it will increase DOF using several images. But can it work in reverse and decrease DOF?

Ooooohh, the mask panel...that's niiiice! And improved dodge and burn tools, they look good. Nice graduated filter tool also. All I have to do now is buy a new computer :-(

I am looking at the video's right now; i am drooling.

I am glad i held off the cs3 creative suite, it seems the creative suite 4 has lots more to offer in this upgrade!
 
There is not much NOT to like.

I hope the rest of the suite has simular upgrades.
 
great feutures, althoug ps cs4 might have serious competition concerning retargeting pictures, since onone software bought the liquid resize technology.

it might be superior to ps cs4 option.
 
Pam, how could it work in reverse to decrease depth of field? Do you mean processing a photo shot at f32 and making it look like it was shot at f1.8? I don't know how it'd be able to map that, except possibly if 2 or 3 shots were taken from slightly different vantage points left to right.
 
If I had not clicked on your links, only CS4 Extended was being talked about and I was afraid they had dropped everything but the extended version! Yikes! Relieved to see we will still be able to upgrade to "basic" CS4. :)

Hi Mark,

Yes, that's what I meant. It looks like they are assessing each image, taking the sharpest parts of each, and masking out the softer bits, so that, when stacked, we are seeing only the sharpest bits. That's amazing to me.

I guess making an f32 shot into a f1.8 is a little beyond the future. But it sure would be nice! I would gladly move my camera left to right for a few extra shots. We do that now for panorama stitching.

You can already, I ordered the Master Collection this afternoon and found a sweet discount code on the net for 15% off and it worked (that was -$374) :-)

I am SO anxious to try it, I have a new computer coming next week, a super loaded Skulltrail rig (2 extreme cores, 8Bg DDR2 and 2 ATI 4870X2, 4 Velociraptor drives one for adobe scratch disk) so 8 CPU cores and 4 GPUs :-))))

'Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who are we to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous.

Actually, who are we not to be?'

Thanx Ken I'll keep that in mind!

I'm on a Mac (G4 w G5 chips) and with a little luck CS5 will be Intel only.
That will be an expensive upgrade!
