Adobe Photoshop CS4
Interface
The first major change that strikes you when you start CS4 is the changes to the interface. Adobe has taken a lead from current web-browsing trends and has decided to integrate a tabbed user interface, so, say if you are editing four images at the same time, they can now be combined within the same window, rather than four separate windows, and as such tidies up your workspace.
There is also now an ‘arrange documents’ button that organises the images back into their separate windows, but in a range of convenient set-ups, such as an evenly distributed ‘4-up’. Besides the tabbed innovation and tiling options sits fully integrated workspace shifting, allowing quick hopping between Adobe-family products, such as Lightroom, InDesign and the like.
Have your say!

Having had the chance to try a copy i found the interface a bit more logical than in CS3. For photographers it is a very good program though most photographers will maybe never use all the features it has. My main concern about the program as in other versions, is down to the cost. At close to £600, and in times of recession i wonder how many will be able to justify the cost? The problem that Adobe have is that you either buy the limited 'Elements' software, or have to spend a heck of a lot more for the full Photoshop. I would like to see Adobe produce software priced at about £150ish that offers more than 'Elements' but not with the bulk of Photoshop. That would be a winner i think in todays market.
