View Smaller Version or Purchase a Downloadable QuickTime Video
The emails requesting an introduction to Photoshop CS4 have been filling my Inbox. Naturally, my resistance to these requests is extremely low. In fact, I’m bursting with anticipation and can’t wait any longer to introduce you to this extraordinary upgrade.
Photoshop CS4 possesses several mind-blowing new features, including Content-Aware Scaling and Focus Blending. In addition to these new features, this upgrade boasts numerous productivity-enhancing improvements, such as an Adjustments Panel, a Masks Panel, and radically improved Dodge and Burn tools. The programmers didn’t shy away from Adobe Camera Raw as they wrote the new software. ACR is loaded with incredible new tools, including an Adjustment Brush, a Graduated Filter, and Post-Crop Vignetting.
In this two-part series, I’ll cover all of these new features and a few more. Part One is devoted solely to Adobe Camera Raw and Part Two focuses entirely on Photoshop.
So without further ado, let’s go exploring…
Part One – Adobe Camera Raw:
Adjustment Brush
Graduated Filter
Post-Crop Vignette

I found these features to be very helpful. With a slight variation they have been available in Lightroom 2 for some time now.
Your explanation is very clear and I’m sure it will be helpful to many. Thanks for all you do to help the photographic community.

Mark,
I have been unable to view your tutorials. All I get is a white screen. At $0.99 your works are a bargain and I don’t in the least mind paying. However, I’d like to preview before downloading. I’m especially interested in what you find in CS4. All I’ve seen so far are some, “oh,gee whiz”, features.
Thanks,
Dave
