Adobe Photoshop CS4

Adobe Photoshop CS4, released in 2008 is the 11th version of Photoshop. It is fairly similar to CS3 with a few changes to the look of the user interface and a few new tools and some changes to Adobe Camera RAW.

Most new videos we are doing on Photoshop are with CS4, but our intro videos for Photoshop are all with CS3.
