CS4, first impressions

[PN Stenquist]

I never became real familiar with CS3, although I had it at work. I do  
all my photo work at home, and I've been using CS1 for quite a few  
years. I spent the last few hours converting and tweaking some pics  
with CS4. First, I have to say that I find this version of Bridge  
outstanding. The slider allows me to set the preview size to huge  
dimensions if I wish, and the intel Mac is fast enough to scroll  
through a large folder seamlessly. The Raw Converter provides much  
more control than my ancient version of the same. The "Recovery"  
slider directly adjusts highlights. "Fill Light" provides more shadow  
fill than the old (and still available) "brightness" control.  
"Clarity" seems to provide a measure of sharpening, and "Vibrance"  
probably increases midrange contrast. And it's all very fast. I'm  
liking it. Back to play...I mean work.
