Adobe is getting ready to release its next version of Photoshop(Creative suite 4, CS4), code named as Stonehenge.
The main attraction of CS4 is its GPU accelearation. It is the first well-known application to use GPU acceleration. And this is just the beginning for GPU accelerated software. (One more application can be found here).
CS4 uses the GPU (if available) on the computer to accelerate the photo-editing functions. This feature allows seamless handling of large image files, common in today’s megapixel cameras.
