- Adjustments and Masks panels - Easily access every tool for nondestructive adjustment of color and tone. Quickly adjust specific image areas with easier access to all the tools for creating and editing nondestructive masks.
- Streamlined 3D painting and compositing - Now paint directly on 3D models; wrap 2D images around common 3D shapes; convert gradient maps to 3D objects; and add depth to pixel layers, text, 2D shapes, and DICOM frames with volume rendering.
- Better raw image processing - Enjoy superior conversion quality as you process raw images with the industry-leading Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 5 plug-in, which now offers localized corrections, post-crop vignetting, TIFF and JPEG processing, and support for more than 190 camera models.

NEW FEATURES:
- Revolutionary 3D painting and compositing - Paint directly on 3D models, wrap 2D images around 3D shapes, convert gradient maps to 3D objects, add depth to layers and text, and get print-quality output with the new ray-tracing rendering engine, and enjoy exporting to supported common 3D formats.
- More powerful printing options - Photoshop CS4 brings even higher quality to large, detailed images when taken to print. You can now preview out-of-gamut colors and take advantage of a streamlined printing interface. In addition, only on Mac OS X for this release, 16-bit printing is available for the first time, vastly increasing the color depth and clarity possible in printing.
