Almost Invisible Improvements

Mark each of those points and you get Photoshop CS4.

Whether you're a photographer, designer, special effects artist, or any type of Photoshop enthusiast, this upgrade can have a bigger impact on your work life than a major operating system upgrade.

There’s a lot to explore in the standard version of Photoshop CS4. I’ll introduce you to the changes you might encounter in your usual photography workflow.
Bridge CS4
Bridge is a media browser included with all versions of Photoshop CS4. It allows you to view thumbnail images of media in a folder, including the most common video and animated image formats. Within Bridge, you can view very large previews alongside thumbnails, sort and rate files, add keywords and metadata, and even copy and move files from one location to another.

Not only is Bridge the starting point for finding images you want to take into Photoshop (or any Creative Suite application), but it’s also a good alternative to your operating system’s file management system when organizing images.

Camera Raw 5
If you shoot images as RAW files packed with information, the next step in your Photoshop workflow—after using Bridge to find a primary image you want to process—is to open the image in Camera Raw. Like previous versions, the latest version of Camera Raw is a plug-in that automatically runs when you open a RAW image. Over the years, RAW shooters have said that Photoshop is more than just a plug-in for Camera Raw, as they’ve been able to make many fundamental adjustments in Camera Raw. The new version 5 adds more photo editing functionality to Camera Raw.

Camera Raw retains the single dialog interface with tabbed control panels, and it fits into your workflow just as it always has, although the Camera Raw dialog has seen some changes. There are new tools in the toolbar and new sliders in the Basic Editing tab.

The Application Itself
While Photoshop CS4 has many important new features, you’ll notice the interface first. The application frame now contains all panels and open documents. This single window with a gray background aims to provide a unified working environment. Multiple documents are displayed in a tabbed array, allowing you to see one document at a time and switch to others by clicking their tabs. The document window is moved with the panel windows, and you can drag the divider between resizing the document and the panels at the same time. Resizing the 'application frame' keeps the panel sizes while shrinking the document.

Figure 3. Photoshop CS4 is set by default to attach the entire workspace within the application frame, which houses individual documents in tabs. Click the image to see a larger version of Ben's unusual shoes.

The application frame includes a new Application Bar, located above the Control Bar, containing buttons for some commonly used functions: launching Bridge; displaying guides, rulers, and grids; and zooming the current window. The new Hand, Zoom, and Rotate View tools can be accessed from the Application Bar, and the pop-up menu contains options for linking currently open documents. I love the ability to show the same location in every document with matching zoom levels. You can easily switch back to the regular tabbed view at any time. Adobe has moved screen mode controls from the main toolbar to the Application Bar and significantly changed them. Full screen mode now displays the current document on a completely black screen, with no interface of any kind. If you mouse to the left or right edge of the screen, the toolbar or tools appear, or you can go to full screen mode while keeping the menu bar.

On the right side of the Application Bar is a pop-up menu to select any of Photoshop's workspaces. This serves the same function as the workspace controls under the Window menu.

At first, you might find the new interface overwhelming. For example, if you’re used to moving windows, the tabbed interface can be a hindrance when you need to copy and paste quickly between documents. Also, the Application Bar takes up extra screen real estate.

If you can’t adapt, you can deactivate the Application Frame and Application Bar to restore the interface to its more traditional arrangement. You’ll lose access to the full-screen pop-up menu, but F continues to navigate through the various full-screen modes.

However, it’s worth giving the new interface a try as it provides a clean working environment. Photoshop is a resource-heavy program, a problem Adobe has tackled in various ways over the years: customizable workspaces, the ability to hide unwanted features, dockable panels, and now the application frame. You may decide you want to use combinations of each.

Brush, Zoom, Zip, Pow!

Adobe has successfully refined the brush and zoom tools in Photoshop to great effect. While you can still resize the brush using the [ and ] keys, you can now interactively resize the brush by holding down the Control key and right-clicking under Windows (Control and Command on a Mac). With these adjustments in place, you can simply drag the mouse to resize the cursor. Photoshop displays the cursor in red, including the fuzzy edges to represent the brush size. By holding down the Alt or Option key along with the other adjustments, you can change the hardness of the edge by dragging.

Once you learn the adjustments, you’ll quickly adapt to resizing the brush while painting. It’s a much easier way than using the keyboard.

With CS4, Adobe finally decided to take advantage of the power of graphics processors in almost all modern computers. In previous versions, when you clicked with the zoom tool, Photoshop would redraw the image to the next preset zoom level. While the Zoom tool still works this way, you can also hold down the mouse button to see smooth zooming, with the accompanying panning to center the image around the zoom tool.

In addition to looking really great, this behavior enhances the ease of zooming in and out. When zoomed in at about 500%, Photoshop starts overlaying a pixel grid on your image. This can help facilitate individual pixel adjustments, but if you don’t like it, you can turn off the grid.

Zooming improvements are also more precise. You won’t see jagged edges in high-contrast lines when zooming to individual percentages.

If you zoom in to a specific zoom level, hold down the H key and click the Zoom tool, Photoshop zooms out to fit the window, displaying a small rectangle next to the cursor. This indicates the last zoom crop. Place the rectangle elsewhere on your image, click the mouse, and Photoshop automatically zooms in on that area at the same zoom level. While it’s an interesting addition, I don’t use it much in real work. However, different users work in different ways, so some of you may find it more appealing.

If you quickly scroll over a document while holding down the mouse button, the image will scroll on the panel, then slowly roll to a stop. It’s more effective with a stylus and tablet than with a mouse, but not necessarily easier than using scroll bars.

If you’re using a tablet, you’ll love the new simplified view menu, which allows you to rotate the image display within the document window. It’s not a rotation of the image on the canvas, but rather an actual equivalent to rotating your computer screen. I prefer to rotate your drawing surface so you can easily draw on a specific axis, rather than drawing at a 90-degree angle to the sides of the canvas. Double-clicking the Rotate View tool returns the image to its normal orientation. Corel Painter has had this feature for several years, and I’m glad to see it in Photoshop. Rotate View is the only feature besides Zooming that leverages GPU acceleration. It’s great to see Adobe taking advantage of this additional processing power; it bodes well for creativity and acceleration in the future. Your graphics card should be OpenGL compatible, but most GPUs are these days.

More Tool Changes
The Clone Stamp and Healing Brush tools have new behaviors. Where previous versions showed your cursor size, CS4 displays the image data that will be cloned in the area you’re painting. It’s a quick preview of your cloning efforts before you make any strokes.

Adobe has also improved the Dodge, Burn, and Sponge tools in ways that are hard to describe but easy to feel. Perhaps the best way to describe the changes is that the new tools are not as harsh as they used to be. While dodging and burning, Photoshop does a better job of preserving the original color, and your strokes don’t become overly aggressive or too weak.
