"So, what can you do with general-purpose GPU (GPGPU) acceleration in Photoshop? We saw the presenter playing with a 2 GB, 442 megapixel image like it was a 5 megapixel image on an 8-core Skulltrail system. Changes made through image zoom and through a new rotate canvas tool were applied almost instantly. Another impressive feature was the import of a 3D model into Photoshop, adding text and paint on a 3D surface and having that surface directly rendered with the 3D models' reflection map."

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIT

Omfg, :awesome:

Nice.

Is it already time for CS4 to come out :\

[DaneO'Roo]

October 1st the "Adobe Next" Suite (CS4) comes out apparently. To me it sounds like all it is is CS3, a few extra tools and mostly just the gpu and such support. Probably does change the way alot of things are performed though, for instance the panorama thing now being like a spherical model thing that you modify or some shit.

I'm not gunna complain though if those are the only differences, because to me, gpu support is fucking awesome and it's about time it fucking happened.

Besides, it's not like (phopojijo edit) anything illegal goes on... at all... nope.(/edit)

(n00b1n8R edit)Fuck off, I wasn't condoning piracy or anything.(/edit)

How dare you say such a thing :p

God it sounds great.

Can't wait.

Hey man, sorry -- just found this out. Didn't know when I gave you the TG Daily link.

Apparently TG Daily made the shit up. At least the GPU part is true (albeit not necessarily in the next release), but Oct 1st is not.

Don't blame Dano... I was the one who gave him the link.

CS3 can already take your 3d model and paint the UVs. I'm going to assume the next version will include improvements to make it easier and overall better, but I could tell that most of that seemed like bullshit. GPGPU? 2GB 442 megapixel image? Come on.

Come on.Nah, if you read the blog... apparently it's true. Just might not be in CS4

I've got a panorama that's only 15MP (45146x3376 .psb) but is 1.2GB. I think a 442MP picture would be just a little bigger ;).

Edit: oops, I meant 152MP. Although that would still mean a 442mp image would be much larger than 2GB, unless .psb has horrible compression.

Show me how. I thought it only imported a model that you could rotate etc etc.

It also depends on the image. It's only off by a factor of 50% which could simply be an artifact of conditions. Compression type, quality level, patterns in the source image providing better-than-average compression, etc.

This. I thought all you could do was use 3d shit to have a basis to paint stuff over the top with.
