So I finally .. got .. Photoshop CS4 a couple days ago, and I've been trying to get myself adjusted to it. Anyone else that has it yet? Whaaaaatchu guys think? Favorite features and all?
In Photoshop CS4, I'd have to say the rotate canvas tool is one of my favorites -- the one that lets you work from any angle without actually rotating the canvas. The content-aware scaling tool isn't as good as I expected it to be, but it's pretty cool. And that new Vibrance adjustment's pretty spiffy. I have yet to mess with the 3D tools. |

What's Vibrance?!
I'm mostly excited to try out the "wicked-fast" filters, even though I don't use filters =_=. But it would have come in handy for that time we applied an artistic filter on a HUGE image for the yearbook. That took like 10 minutes to figure itself out. |

Hm, "wicked-fast" filters? Like, they sped them up .. or something? haha. But I think the Vibrance adjustment is like saturation, except .. better? Idk, but it makes the image look more alive and healthy.

^ That is so friggin' cool.
Usually you have to wait a REALLY long time for filters to do their thing. I mean like when you're actually editing the filter, before you apply it. The adjustments don't usually happen in real time, or as fast as when you adjust whatever levels there are, and instead you have to wait. And even when you apply the filter you have to wait. It's just a nuisance. Wicked-fast filters are for impatient people like me ^_^. I must get CS4 now... |

Ohh. And I just remembered one thing I noticed about CS4 -- I think the pen tool and selection tools got a little slower. :[ At least on my computer.

(Student Discounts = love) ^ Hell yeah I think k-12 students can get it too. So I going to get a job and get it. I am so excited about it, I almost peed my pants. Currently I'm using CS2, and so I hope it won't be hard to adjust.
