Just as an FYI for those interested.  Downloading as we speak.

Are you downloading it from Adobe?  How much is it?  Is it worth it?  I have elements right now I got a good deal on from Best Buy.

I am considering upgrading.

There are some VERY nice new features in CS4.

The adjustment layers palette is handy, and the new configurator is going to make it nice to set up work space.

One of the big improvements is in Bridge. It works much better now as well. Especially with the changes to the output module.

Overall the interface is easier to use and there's a lot of good features.

Yes Downloaded from Adobe and was pretty fast download.  I got the Upgrade version and it was $199.  At first glance, Adobe Camera Raw is MUCH better with CS4 than CS3.  They included a few cool features which were added to LightRoom 2 like selective Exposure control.

It is a bit snappier than CS3.  If you have a PC and running Vista 64, you can take advantage of your extra memory if you have more than 4GBs.

If you use Lightroom, and are a NAPP member, they also have this deal:

"If you’re a NAPP member, you can get the upgrade to Photoshop CS4, AND the upgrade to Lightroom 2, together as a bundle, for just $238."
