Some new features in Photoshop CS4 for photographers...

I found this article at Macworld.com yesterday. While all of the new features mentioned in the article appear to be of some utility, the fourth hint, where you can interact with curves and hue/saturation adjustment layers by clicking to select the tone/color to edit, and dragging in the image to adjust, seems to be the most useful.

After a brief test, it's very useful because it allows you to zero in on the specific point in the curve, or the specific color tone, and make adjustments that affect it directly. I've always found curves to be fussy to deal with, as it was sometimes difficult to figure out exactly which part of the curve you needed to adjust to get the desired result; this seems to be a valuable addition.
