Today Adobe announced the upcoming launch of Photoshop CS4, and more importantly a major new landmark feature which is set to revolutionise the graphic designer world.

Unlike all previous versions of Photoshop CS4 is capable of utilizing your graphic card’s power, rapidly speeding up the speed at which Photoshop can zoom, manage and manipulate high end graphics on your PC.

This move is set to be a large blow to Apple users who were previously one of the few people able to access GPU compatible graphics design packages, at the cost of limited software and high hardware costs.  To the Graphic design industry at large though it is going to mean faster graphics processing and cheaper hardware for the pro’s!

But CS4 does not just stop there. Adobe Photoshop CS4 has 64bit support greatly increasing processing power on 64 bit machines.  Not to mention Macromedia Flash design incorporated, giving awesome vector support and bringing third party addon integration to a whole new level!

Feature wise there is now pixel bending support, giving faster special effects application, panoramic stitching for full 3d view support and direct to object 3d painting ability!

All in all the brand new version of Adobe Photoshop CS4 is lightyears ahead of its predocessors, making full use of the latest technologies to really bring digital image editing into the modern age!
