Photoshop CS4 Video Card Acceleration

Most of the Adobe Creative Suite 4 applications have enhanced features designed to take advantage of your display card's GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) to accelerate application performance.

This is the first commercial software we are aware of that leverages GPU acceleration, which dramatically improves the performance of certain components of the application. Features such as Camera Raw support and image blending were improved, 64-bit and 3D support added.

Changes made through image zoom and through a new rotate canvas tool were applied almost instantly. Another wonderful 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.
