I've been working on some shots of a race car for a magazine. I shot
them just a few days ago and finished processing them just a couple of
hours before CS4 arrived, so I converted them and worked them up with
CS1. The shooting angle was inflexible as was the time of day, so I
had to work with some shadow on the headlights and grille. Last night
I revisited one of them in CS4. It seems that the dodge and burn tools
are much better. Dodging midtones and shadows doesn't give that
underexposed look as it did with earlier versions of PS. Burning
midtones seems to have less effect on the whites.
I'm also anxious to try the stitcher. It's reportedly much improved.

Good:-).
Another nice thing I noticed is that the clone tool shows you what
the clone
application would look like before you pull the trigger. In other
words, You
pick up the piece you want to clone and as you move the brush to
the area
where you're going to place it, the result appears within the brush
circle.
I already found that it allows for more placement control.

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.
