Adobe Photoshop CS4 Tutorial Video

This Adobe Photoshop CS4 tutorial video series teaches you all of the tips, secrets, and techniques you need to know to get the most out of Adobe Photoshop CS4. Ideal for beginners and intermediate users with some graphics experience, the lessons start with the very basics before covering the program’s many advanced features.

Users who have worked with previous versions of Adobe Photoshop might be tempted to skip past the introduction to the program’s user interface, but Adobe has significantly changed things up for CS4, and as a good overview, it’s probably worth your time.

The great thing about these tutorials is their convenience. The way the lessons are divided into separate shorter segments makes it easy to skip past topics you already know about or repeat ones you need to review. And the fact that you can get the whole training course on DVD or CD means that you can take it anywhere you need to go.

Photoshop: Past and Future

Adobe Photoshop CS4 is the eleventh major release of the image editing program, and it marks an interesting stage in its product life. Photoshop has been the go-to tool for professional photographers and graphic designers for years, with very little in the way of competition. While some applications have popped up that rival individual aspects of the program, such as Apple’s Aperture for working with photographs or Corel’s Paint Shop Pro for working with graphics, there’s been no cross-platform solution that can hold a candle to Photoshop’s sheer power and versatility.

You might think that such a market position would inspire a degree of complacency in the program’s engineers, and you could make a case that some of the past releases were not the amazing upgrades they should have been. But Photoshop CS4 is a bold update, with many useful changes and new forward-looking features.

In addition to revamping the user interface and bringing a lot of previously hidden features into full view, the people at Adobe have paid a lot of attention to updates in the hardware world. For 64-bit Windows users, Adobe has released a special version of Photoshop that allows you to use your extra power to work with very large images and very large amounts of memory at a time. A 64-bit version for Mac is in the works. Users with graphics cards supporting OpenGL will have the pleasure of zooming in and out and manipulating their images more seamlessly than ever before, and photographers with the latest and greatest cameras should be giddy about the program’s new Camera Raw 5.0 features.

With its affordable upgrade program and its continuous use of professional feedback, Adobe has built a loyal army of Photoshop users, and as long as it continues to innovate according to their needs and desires, the product’s future is extremely bright.
