En varios blogs especializados no se habla otra cosa de Stonehenge nombre clave para la nueva versi?n de Photoshop. Algunas de las caracter?sticas m?s destacadas del nuevo Photoshop CS4, destacan la inclusi?n del reescalado l?quido, del cual ya tambi?n se ha hablado bastante y que resulta realmente impresionante e “inteligente” a decir de algunos. Tambi?n incluir? el plugin xRez para la creaci?n de panor?micas.

Seg?n los que saben Adobe saca nuevas versiones de Photoshop cada 18 meses, as? que al parecer ya toca actualizaci?n del software preferido por la industria del dise?o en cuestiones de manipulaci?n de im?genes. Aunque siendo francos hace ya muchos a?os deje la fiebre de estar a la moda, de hecho yo a?n sigo con el Photoshop CS2 y esto por dos razones fundamentalmente; por las pocas novedades que brindaba en relaci?n a la cantidad de recursos que consum?a cada nueva actualizaci?n. As? que tal vez esta vez si valga la pena dar el salto.

Several specialized blogs not speak otherwise Stonehenge codename for the new version of Photoshop. Some of the salient features of the new Photoshop CS4 include the inclusion of reescalado liquid, which also has already spoken and that is really quite impressive "intelligent" and say some. It will also include the plug xRez for creating panoramas.

According to those who know Adobe Photoshop brings new versions every 18 months, so apparently already playing software update preferred by the industry in design issues image manipulation. While being francs many years ceases to be fever fashion, in fact I even still with Photoshop CS2 and this for two reasons primarily, for the few developments that provided in relation to the amount of resources consumed each new update . So maybe this time if worthwhile to make the jump.

In extreme Phostoshop mention that spirit circulating a trial version that some have been able to install and provide links to download this demo.

I bet you said the dame thing about windows 3.11 when it came out ;)
lol, nah I wasn't into computers back then

I use photoshop quite often, and as I said... there's so much stuff I use, but there's at least as much that I don't touch and I can't think of any more automation or ground breaking features :p that doesn't mean I don't welcome CS4 (won't be upgrading for a while tho =.=) but I'm just wondering what'd be new

I can't think of anything that could be better than CS3 :\ I mean, it just does everything

Yeah but is it doing its thing correctly? It's immensely slow for me, quirks here and there. Hate it.

Clever fake?

No way in hell adobe would make a splash screen that ugly :rofl:

Stonehenge? :huh:

ORLY?

Here is the Adobe Photoshop CS3 splash screen that was used in the alpha versions and left in as an easter egg:

My translation:

In many specialized blogs, there's no other discussions than Stonehenge, the codename of the new Photoshop version. Some of the most remarkable characteristics of (the new) Photoshop CS4, is the addition of the liquid rescale, which also has been spoken about and it's really quite impressive and "smart", as some people recall. It'll also include the xRez plug-in, for landscape creation.

For those who know, Adobe brings out new versions of Photoshop every 18 months, so it's about time we get another update from the industry's preferred photo-manipulation software. (The rest is the author explaining that he doesn't updates his Photoshop since CS2.)

Is there's actually that liquid rescale in there, that'll be great... if it actually works good enough. The GIMP plugin that was created shortly after the presentation of that tech sucks royally and the rescaling of anything other than the sample images on their presentation page fails epicly.

I can't think of anything that could be better than CS3 :\ I mean, it just does everything

I certainly can. There's plenty of things they can make better, and even plenty of things they can (and I believe will) try to bring back from CS2 or even earlier versions. As a Graphic Designer, these programs are incredibly important to me, and I come across design flaws (sometimes big, sometimes minuscule) with the program everyday.

I do agree that CS3 is amazing, though. HUGE. But absolutely awesome. :)

Won't adobe get to the point where not much more can be done with photoshop. After you can manipulate an image all you want, what else can be done?

I doubt it. There will always be ways to improve even just the performance of the program. There will always be more ways to manipulate, and ways to make that manipulation even easier. There'll always be new capabilities to add, unnecessary capabilities to take out, and old capabilities to bring back in newer versions.

Also, and I know this post deals with just Photoshop (and that it's fake), but Adobe has an entire design suite to upgrade, not just Photoshop. Illustrator, InDesign, Fireworks, Flash, Dreamweaver, Premiere... and about 7 more I can't even think of off the top of my head. So on top of upgrading each program themselves, there's always way to upgrade the capabilities as far as intermingling with all of these programs, and ultimately the flow of the design process.

    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature by Taras Buria Files is among the best File Explorer alternatives for Windows 10 and 11. This free app is packed with all sorts of features and conveniences, but there is one crucial feature that is still missing—Tree View. Fortunately, the latest update in the Preview channel finally delivers it. With version 4.1.4, which is now available for download in the Preview channel, developers implemented Tree View, a new mode that displays folders in an expandable hierarchy. Windows 11's stock File Explorer always had this feature, but it was nowhere to be found in Files until now. Starting with the latest preview update, you can expand each drive and its nested folders without leaving the current location and then open the folder you need in the main view. To try Tree View in Files, update the app to the latest preview version, then click the small arrow next to a drive to expand its content. The developers say they are rolling out Tree View in Preview first to gather feedback from users and improve the feature before bringing it to all in the stable channel. In addition to Tree View, Files 4.1.14 improves the Windows Fonts folder. You can now preview each font directly in Files with no need to open the built-in font viewer. For now, these two features are only available in the Preview channel. For those using the stable release, developers recently released version 4.1.3, with improvements for the built-in tag system, on-demand folder size calculation, and plenty of various fixes. You can check out the full release notes here. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
    • Who is paying for this 30x scale-up? Its sounds expensive.
    • Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop by Sayan Sen Despite the advent of AI-generated imagery, Adobe's Photoshop remains one of the most popular tools on this planet. Adobe does not have a publicly reported total user count but it's probably not wrong to assume there are millions. As of 2025, Adobe Creative Cloud has had approximately 41 million paid subscribers, many of whom likely use Photoshop. In addition, more than 166,000 companies worldwide are apparently also using the app. These figures are according to a very recent report by SQ Magazine. Out of them, it is fair to assume that many are probably running Windows. As such, there is good news for these users as Microsoft has announced Photoshop is getting a big 20% performance boost on x86-64 (AMD64) systems and a 13% bump-up on Arm devices. This is definitely great news for them as many have complained about the slow performance and general sluggishness of Photoshop on Windows 11 ever since the advent of the latter back in 2021. If you are wondering how Microsoft managed to do this, the answer lies in a combination of compiler-level optimizations and a technology called Sample Profile Guided Optimization (SPGO). According to Microsoft, Adobe worked closely with the company’s Visual C++ team and adopted the latest MSVC toolchain enhancements together with SPGO to squeeze more performance out of Photoshop’s CPU-bound workloads. Unlike traditional Profile Guided Optimization (PGO), which requires developers to create special instrumented builds and run lengthy training workloads, SPGO gathers performance data directly from optimized release binaries. This means Adobe could collect real-world usage information which gives a major advantage to this technique, as companies could leverage data collected from actual customer workloads rather than only relying on synthetic benchmark runs. In theory, this should allow optimizations to better reflect how users interact with software in the real world. Thanks to this, there are improvements to code layout, function inlining, hot-and-cold code separation, and other low-level tweaks that help processors execute instructions more efficiently. Essentially the compiler is better able to identify “hot” code paths, those which are most frequently executed, and optimize them accordingly.

    • Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240.
