Adobe Photoshop's Principal Product Manager joins Bert again to continue explaining lots of the new features in CS4 (Creative Suite 4).

Included is discussion about:

  • Camera Raw (over 200 formats natively supported inside of Photoshop)
  • Simple painting and graduated filer/gradient tools inside the RAW environment (the cool thing about doing it in RAW is that all the settings are non-destrictive - same as some of the features in Adobe Lightroom)
  • Dial in adjustments using brushing tools in camera RAW
  • A plugin called pixel bender that harnesses the power of the GPU to let you do a ton of things on the fly (look for the pixel bender at labs.adobe.com)
  • Applying photos as a texture onto a 3D surface
  • 3D navigator tool for rotating on multiple axes
  • Controlling lights and sources of light in 3D images
  • Painting Directly on 3D surfaces
  • Mixing 2D and 3D together - applying 2D imagery to a 3D environment

Bert's latest book: Photoshop Studio with Bert Monroy: Digital Painting (Voices That Matter)
