Photoshop CS4 GPU computing downloadable movies

Earlier this week we already reported that the all new Creative Suite 4, bringing with it Photoshop CS4 and Photoshop CS4 Extended, the latest versions to the photo editing application, optimized to take advantage of GPUs, along with many more features. Photoshop CS4 also simplifies many tasks, with content-aware scaling, auto-align and auto-blend modes on 360 degree panoramas.

Photoshop CS4's new GPU-aware nature allows it to share intensive tasks with the graphics card, speeding up operations significantly. Photoshop will offload panning, zooming, canvas rotation and several other operations to the GPU, allowing users to also experience a more free-flowing workspace.

I received some movies from NVIDIA demonstrating the new GPU accelerated features. I copressed them into one big 50 MB archive, feel free to download and have a look. Looks pretty impressive really.
