Photoshop CS4 Extended for Windows - Upgrade Delivering all the features of Photoshop CS4 and more, Photoshop CS4 Extended provides breakthrough 3D painting and editing power, richer motion graphics editing, and enhanced image analysis. Upgrade eligibility information: To install an upgrade version of Photoshop CS4 Extended software, you must have an eligible older version of Adobe software.

Delivering all the features of Adobe Photoshop CS4 software, including the new Adjustments and Masks panels, Photoshop CS4 Extended also provides breakthrough 3D editing and compositing power to paint directly on 3D models, create 3D animations, convert 2D images to 3D objects, and more; richer motion graphics editing; and more powerful and flexible image analysis and tracking.

Top reasons to upgrade to Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended

Revolutionary 3D painting and compositing - Now paint directly on 3D models, wrap 2D images around 3D shapes, convert gradient maps to 3D objects, add depth to layers and text, and get print-quality output with the new ray-tracing rendering engine, and enjoy exporting to supported common 3D formats.

Adjustments panel - Simplify image adjustment by easily accessing every tool you need to nondestructively adjust and enhance the color and tone of your images; on-image controls and a wide variety of presets are also included in the new live and dynamic Adjustments panel.

Masks panel - Quickly create and edit masks from the new Masks panel. This panel offers all the tools you need to create editable pixel- and vector-based masks, adjust mask density and feathering, easily select noncontiguous objects, and more.

Enhanced auto-alignment of layers - Create accurate composites with the enhanced Auto-Align Layers command. Move, rotate, or warp layers to align them more accurately than ever before. Or use spherical alignment to create breathtaking panoramas.

Enhanced auto-blending of images - Easily create a single image from a series of shots that have different focal points with the enhanced Auto-Blend Layers command, which smoothly blends color and shading and now extends your depth of field, automatically correcting vignettes and lens distortion.

Extended depth of field - Combine a range of images, each with a different exposure, color, and focal point - with options to preserve tones and colors - into a single color-corrected image.

Fluid canvas rotation - Now just click to smoothly turn your canvas for nondestructive viewing at any desired angle - no more tilting your head in the middle of painting and drawing.

Smoother panning and zooming - Gracefully navigate to any area of an image with new ultra-smooth zooming and panning. Maintain clarity as you zoom to individual pixels, and easily edit at the highest magnification with the new Pixel Grid.

Content-Aware Scaling - Use the new and revolutionary Content-Aware Scaling feature to automatically recompose an image as you resize it, smartly preserving vital areas as the image adapts to the new dimensions. Get the perfect image in one step without time-intensive cropping and retouching.

Enhanced motion graphics editing - Edit motion graphics more efficiently with new single-key shortcuts, sync visual effects with specific points in an audio track using new audio syncing controls, and turn any 3D object into a video display zone.

Better raw image processing - Enjoy superior conversion quality as you process raw images with the industryleading Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 5 plug-in, which now offers localized corrections, post-crop vignetting, TIFF and JPEG processing, and support for more than 190 camera models.

Enhanced retouching - Retouch images more easily and precisely by previewing source pixels within the cursor of the Clone Stamp and the Healing Brush. Set multiple source points, scale, and rotate in the Clone Source panel.

Efficient file management with Adobe Bridge CS4 - Get instant access to Adobe Bridge CS4 with faster start-up, use new workspaces to jump to the right display for every task, easily create web galleries and PDF contact sheets, and more.

New file display options - Easily work with multiple open files by using tabbed document display or n-up views.

Broad file format support - Import and export hundreds of file formats, including PSD, AI, PDF, NEF, CRW, TIFF, BMP, Cineon, JPEG, JPEG2000, FXG, OpenEXR, PNG, Targa, DICOM, OBJ, KMZ, Collada, U3D, and 3DS (import only).

Volume rendering - Add depth to pixel layers, text, 2D shapes, and DICOM frames with volume rendering.

Higher performance on very large images (Windows only) - Work faster with very large images by taking advantage of even more RAM (requires a 64-bit-capable computer with a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows Vista).

Multi-Touch support on Mac laptops - Pinch, swipe, rotate, zoom, and scroll with just the touch of your fingers by taking full advantage of the Multi-Touch trackpad on newer MacBook Pro and MacBook Air laptops (requires Mac OS X v10.5).

Profiles to support the color-blind - Design with sensitivity for color-blind individuals by creating soft proofs of your images using built-in Color Universal Design Organization profiles.

I applaud Adobe’s approach

"In this upgrade Adobe took a very functional product and focused on making it faster, more useful, and more intuitive. Adobe made Photoshop workflows and functions work better. I rarely appreciate a major change to a User Interface that I’ve been using for years. I like the changes in CS4. You can use CS4 the same way as you did with older versions, but after a few hours of using it, you’ll see what you are miss..." Read Full Review »

"This is an example of what happens when software is released before it is ready. Apparently, for PS11, WAY before it was ready. I simply could not recommend this software to anybody, not as it is in this package. I gave this a one-star rating, or should have. How it made to two stars is anyone's guess. There is too much wrong with it to even start with that here. Look around before you buy and you can see ..." Read Full Review »
