Adobe recently gave a demonstration, at Nvidia’s headquarters in Santa Clara, of "Creative Suite Next" (or CS4), code-named “Stonehenge”, which adds GPU and physics support to its existing multi-core support.
TG Daily reports on this presentation by Adobe.
We saw the presenter playing with a 2 GB, 442 megapixel image like it was a 5 megapixel image on an 8-core Skulltrail system. Changes made through image zoom and through a new rotate canvas tool were applied almost instantly. Another impressive feature was the import of a 3D model into Photoshop, adding text and paint on a 3D surface and having that surface directly rendered with the 3D models’ reflection map.
Also part of the demo was Photoshop 3D accelerated panorama which lets artists to work inside a spherical image and fix any artifacts on the fly.
All of these new features are part of Photoshop CS4, which should be a part of the “CS Next” suite. The package is expected to be released on October 1 !!
