Adobe Creative Suite 4 (CS4) was announced on September 23, 2008, and officially released on October 15, 2008.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/pdfs/200810/101508AdobeCS4avail.pdf | title = Adobe Creative Suite 4 Now Shipping | publisher = Adobe | type = press release | access-date = 2008-10-16 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20081030170838/http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/pdfs/200810/101508AdobeCS4avail.pdf | archive-date = October 30, 2008 | url-status = dead }}</ref> All applications in CS4 featured the same user interface, with a new tabbed interface for working with concurrently running Adobe CS4 programs where multiple documents can be opened inside multiple tabs contained in a single window.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.atelier-us.com/consumers-and-ecommerce/article/adobe-creative-suite-4-release-brings-unprecedented-efficiency-via-a-unified-application-interface |title=Adobe Creative Suite 4 Software Brings Unprecedented Efficiency via a Unified Application Interface |publisher=Atelier-us |date=2008-10-07 |access-date=2010-04-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090503180119/http://www.atelier-us.com/consumers-and-ecommerce/article/adobe-creative-suite-4-release-brings-unprecedented-efficiency-via-a-unified-application-interface |archive-date=2009-05-03 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Adobe CS4 was also developed to perform better under 64-bit and [[multi-core processor]]s.  On [[Microsoft Windows|MS Windows]], Adobe Photoshop CS4 ran natively as a [[64-bit]] application.  Although they were not natively 64-bit applications, Adobe After Effects CS4 and Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 had been optimized for 64-bit computers.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/production/pdfs/cs4_production_premium_64bit_wp.pdf | title = Adobe Creative Suite Production Premium 64-bit Optimization White Paper| publisher = Adobe | access-date = 2013-01-11| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100514052753/http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/production/pdfs/cs4_production_premium_64bit_wp.pdf | archive-date= May 14, 2010 | url-status = live}}</ref> However, there were no 64-bit versions of CS4 available for [[macOS|Mac OS X]].<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.betanews.com/article/Adobe_CS4_will_be_64bit_but_only_on_Windows/1207258861 |title=Adobe CS4 will be 64-bit, but only on Windows |date=3 April 2008 | publisher =Beta news | access-date=2010-04-04}}</ref> Additionally, CS4 was the last version of Adobe Creative Suite installable on the [[PowerPC]] architecture on [[macOS|Mac OS X]],<ref>{{cite web|url= https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/system-requirements-cs4-point-products.html#main_MacintoshSystemReqs |title=System Requirements (CS4, Point Products) | publisher =Adobe | access-date=2020-06-30}}</ref> although not all applications in the suite are available for PowerPC. The unavailable products on PowerPC include the featured applications within the Production Premium collection (Soundbooth, Encore, After Effects, Premiere, and OnLocation). In early testing of 64-bit support in Adobe Photoshop CS4, overall performance gains ranged from 8% to 12%, due to the fact that 64-bit applications could address larger amounts of memory and thus resulted in less file swapping&nbsp;— one of the biggest factors that can affect data processing speed.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/faq/ | work = Photoshop CS4 | title = FAQ |publisher=Adobe |date=2009-07-14 |access-date=2010-04-04| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100218163756/http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/faq/| archive-date= February 18, 2010 | url-status = live}}</ref>

Two programs were dropped from the CS4 line-up: [[Adobe Ultra]], a vector keying application which utilizes image analysis technology to produce high quality [[chroma key]] effects in less than ideal lighting environments and provides keying of a subject into a virtual 3D environment through virtual set technology, and Adobe Stock Photos. Below is a matrix of the applications that were bundled in each of the software suites for CS4:
