CS4 is surprising

By Justin Bancroft

I don’t know how many of you have upgraded to the latest version of Adobe’s Creative Suite, but I have to admit I was really shocked at how much better it is than CS3.  Don’t get me wrong; I liked CS3 so much that I didn’t feel compelled to upgrade, but when I started using the latest version (familiarizing myself with it so I’d be able to keep up with kids at iD Tech Camp this summer in the new Graphic Design curriculum) I realized that my hesitation was unfounded.  There are so many cool updates and tweaks that I can’t count them all, but I’ve really been spending a lot of time editing photos recently, and I can’t wait to get out and shoot more every day so that I will have material to try new photo editing techniques on.

How many of you are using the latest version?  If you’re using it, I’ll be posting some video tutorials where you can get some of my tips and tricks, and if you aren’t yet using it, well, that’s ok, too.  Just be ready to do a lot of learning when summer rolls around and you’re enrolled in one of the classes where we teach Photoshop at iD Tech!
