Adobe Videos on CS4 Posted

Adobe webcast a launch tour and product videos of several applications in the upcoming release of CS4. Clearly it shows progress. How important will depend on how the new features impact your workflow, and whether they've added something you need. Photoshop CS3 has the ability to read a 3DS file. There are other 3D paint tools out there much more mature and effective. Yet Adobe shows interest in expanding capabilities in these areas. I'll need to see it before I comment. But take a look at the videos.

Gigapan.org

Gigapan is a process developed by NASA Ames that combines photos into a highly detailed composite that allows incredible zooming and panning across its generated panoramas. These panoramas may be photographed with a standard digital camera. But consider the size: a digital camera taking a shot with resolution of 2000 x 3000 is 6,000,000 pixels, or a 6 megapixel image. Here we are talking about images at least 200 times that size. At this resolution, information not visible from the macro view emerges by zooming in. Take a look at this site.
