Ars Reviews Photoshop CS4

as always, a thorough review of Photoshop CS4.

The good

• Much faster document drawing with new GPU-based engine.
• 64-bit on Windows gives a large speed boost for huge images.
• Content-aware scaling gets good results, and it’s easy to use.
• 3D painting is well-executed. 

The bad

• Tabs and panes are badly done on Windows, and the perfunctory execution on the Mac is a disaster.
• 3D rendering engine is still very limited and slow. 

The ugly

• What part of “turn off the new interface” isn’t ugly?
