Whats New in Photoshop CS4
Adjustments panel
Quickly access the controls you need to non-destructively adjust image color and tone in the Adjustments panel. Includes on-image controls and presets in one location.
Masks panel
Quickly create precise masks in the Masks panel. The Masks panel offers tools and options for creating editable pixel- and vector-based masks, adjusting mask density and feathering, and selecting non-contiguous objects.
Advanced compositing
Create more accurate composites using the enhanced Auto-Align Layers command, and use the spherical alignment to create 360-degree panoramas. The enhanced Auto-Blend Layers command smoothly blends color and shading, and extends your depth of field by correcting vignettes and lens distortion.
Canvas rotation
Click to smoothly turn your canvas for nondestructive viewing at any desired angle.
Smoother panning and zooming
Gracefully navigate to any area of an image with smoother panning and zooming. Maintain clarity as you zoom to individual pixels, and easily edit at the highest magnification with the new Pixel Grid.
Better raw processing in Camera Raw
Apply corrections to specific areas of an image using the Camera Raw 5.0 plug-in, enjoy superior conversion quality, and apply postcrop vignettes to images.
Improved Lightroom workflow
Enhanced integration between Photoshop CS4 and Photoshop® Lightroom® 2 allows you to open photos from Lightroom in Photoshop and seamlessly roundtrip back to Lightroom. Automatically merge photos from Lightroom into panoramas, open as HDR images, or open as multilayer Photoshop file.
Efficient file management with Adobe® Bridge CS4

Powerful printing options

3D acceleration
Enable OpenGL Drawing to accelerate 3D operations.
Comprehensive 3D tools
