Photoshop CS4 Released on Eleven, Supports GPU and Physical Acceleration

GPU acceleration is a hot topic in today's computer industry, and apart from stream computing and high-definition decoding, an increasing number of mainstream applications are also beginning to utilize the GPU to speed themselves up. We've previously seen this with Google Earth and Adobe Acrobat, and the next software to join this trend will be the image editing software, Photoshop. Although Photoshop already supports multi-core processors, its speed can still be maddening at times, such as when opening a super large file or applying a filter with complex effects. For professionals, long waits are akin to wasting their life.
