Adobe recently released their 11th major version of Photoshop, along with the rest of the gang: Illustrator, Flash, Dreamweaver, Acrobat, Premiere, After Effects and more. Here's a peek at CS4's video-related tools, which are closer to the technologies I use for my Creative Commons videography work.

Bad thing is that Premiere completely revamps editing process. Now we have some kind of Avid track patching (targeting), but without the Avid elegance. I guess the whole point of this was to lessen the need of mousing around, but with Adobe implementation, the result is the exact opposite. Anyone here have the same opinion?

Regardless, I was able to use Illustrator and trace this sketch of mine, and then colorize it with Photoshop
Why would you take something that is vectorized and then rasterize it only to add color? Can't illustrator do color? I am unfamiliar with photoshop and even more so with illustrator (GIMP and Inkscape for me). I know Inkscape can color that stuff in...and then its still vectorized.

I haven't used any versions of Illustrator newer than 10, but colouring was always pretty finicky in it (E.g., the "Gradient Mesh" tool).
And newer versions of Photoshop can work with vector objects, so the image may not have needed to be rasterized at all.

I've personally wondered why they still keep Illustrator around. Why not just add the illustrator tools to photoshop? I don't know any artist who works purely in illustrator, every single one of them starts in illustrator and finish their drawing in photoshop, because illustrator lacks certain features or those features are too much of a pain to use. So why not just get rid of illustrator.

I think Adobe has been moving in that direction for the last few years, with improvements to Photoshop's vector tools.

Adobe forgot to test the installer on 64bit systems (aka Vista).
The installer dies once it tries to install Photoshop (64bit). Keeps locking up, forcing a reboot. Adobe pulls the usual stunts (uhh, I dunno).
So ... this product CS4, is probably good on 32bit system, but right now, 64bit systems are out in the cold.
