In the year 2005 Adobe Photoshop franchise rebranded Adobe Photoshop 8 as Adobe Photoshop CS where the CS stands for Creative Suite. The latest offering from the Adobe Photoshop CS banner is the CS 4. It is the eleventh major release of Adobe Photoshop. After the change in branding, Adobe has begun selling related software packaged together with Photoshop at reduced prices, which is great. The CS versions of Adobe Photoshop have come like blessings for amateur and professional photographers and visual editors.

It was with the subsequent release of CS 3 that the CS user interface became more streamlined than before. With improved camera raw files, better control over printing options, enhanced PDF support, and better management with the Adobe Bridge tool. The CS 4 has some additions to existing tools in the CS 3, like the ability to paint directly on 3D models, wrap 2D images over 3D shapes, convert gradient maps to 3D objects, add depth to layers and texts, get print-quality output with the ray-tracing rendering engine and export to common 3D formats. Adobe Photoshop CS 4 is the first and only 64-bit Photoshop for consumer computers. The CS 5 is currently being developed and is slated for release sometime in the middle of 2010. It will include even newer additions like 3D brushes and warping tools.
