Comment: I am going to try something new here, which is that I am going to come back and revise this review to add new info as it becomes available to me. I am going to try this approach since there is no way I can comment on every aspect of the product so soon after buying it. Furthermore, my review will be in the form of a comparison against Photoshop CS3 since in my opinion it is really the most important question: Is it worth upgrading to CS4 from CS3? Yes, it is, in my opinion.
A. Have just started using the product. Right out of the gate I am loving the clone stamp improvement. Honestly--and this is why I came to write this review now--this improvement alone is worth the cost of upgrade. I am a regular clone stamp user and the improvements with the tool are massive and time-saving. There are three improvements to the clone stamp tool that I have found:
1. The biggest and best improvement is the "ghost" preview. Now, after you have sampled the spot you want to transfer to another part of the image, there is no more guessing about where exactly to drop it and whether the lines will match up. They now have a floating ghost preview inside the stamp as you move it across the image! This means that you can see exactly where and how it will be placed before you click the mouse. This saves countless hours in the long run by not having to undo and redo over and over until you get the placement just right.
2. Another big improvement is that they have decreased the tool's tendency to replicate itself again and again and make a smudgy mess. You can now go back over the same spot over and over and it will not start to duplicate itself. This is especially helpful when it comes to the smaller sized stamps which in CS3 had a tendency to self-replicate if painted back and forth too many times.
3. An improvement I don't really understand, but I can see it working: smart "edge-sensing" technology. In the past, when coming to an edge or break in the pattern of the pixels the stamp was indifferent. Now it somehow seems to know and seamlessly weaves the stamp to the existing edge or break in pattern. It's hard to describe but if you a regular clone stamp user you will know what I mean. They have changed something from CS3 to CS4 in this regard and it is making my work better and faster.
OK, so you can see that I had all that to say just about one tool! I can't wait to find more improvements and report them back--and I will do so, but like I said the close tool improvement alone has already paid for this product--at least in my eyes--since I am such a heavy user of the tool.
B. I have only been using it for a few days. More to come!

Summary: CS4 is good, Amazon disappointed me
Comment: Adobe Photoshop CS4 is a good product, I have only minor complaints about a few thing, but overall, I am very satisfied. I was not satisfied with Amazon though. Just a few days after purchasing Adobe Photoshop CS4 from Amazon, they sent me an email saying I could buy it Adobe Photoshop CS4 at a price more than $100 cheaper than what I paid! I tried to get a price adjustment, but was told Amazon stopped doing that about a month earlier. I was quite disappointed in Amazon for this...

Summary: CS4 Review From a Beginner
Comment: CS4 is everything that I heard it would be. I believe that every serious amateur photographer will eventually own a copy if they don't already have one. It is not the easiest software to learn but the best always requires some effort and the effort is well worth it. Each day I understand a little bit more about the features and power of the program and it never ceases to amaze me. It is pricey but, again, you get what you pay for. I am very happy with it and I would very much recommend it.

Summary: Adobe.... the Best
Comment: Adobe products are a must if you like photography and want to personalize you work. Aperture 2 is good, and NX2 is great, but Adobe is what it is all about. This product is absolutely gold-dust on a MacBook Pro.
