Finally there is the Content Aware Scaling feature that is truly amazing. This feature, while does not work in all situations, when it does work it will have your jaw dropping to the floor. This feature scales the low detail areas in an image while keeping the identifiable objects intact. This allows you to change the size of an image while keeping the important items looking good.

Once again in his witty and conversant style, Deke McClelland comes through with another winner in Photoshop CS4 New Features. Keeping it simple and to the point, and only focusing on the new features, you don't have to waste your time looking at the stuff that your already know, but instead can focus on what you need to know to get up to speed with the latest version of Photoshop CS4. If you want to target your learning to just the new features then I highly recommend Photoshop CS4 New Features.

Interesting review, but no link to the course, as far I can can see - and that was pretty frustrating!

Thanks for pointing it out.
