CS5

not all that much just yet, but some interesting stuff is already on there.

Richard Kain · Sep 2009

If Adobe had really wanted me to keep buying CS, they should never have made the Flex SDK open-source. Now all of my Flash projects are code-only, I only touch the IDE at work if I have to.

to add to richard's comment... maybe make cs5 not a clunky PoS. flash is sooo slow now. i love the new tools, but sooo slow

OBlastradiusO · Oct 2009

Already? I'm still working with CS3.

Agreed mr Lipsius, same with Photoshop, way to clunky, and WAYYYY to slow.

Makes me a sad panda.

photoshop 5.5 yo

its basically been the same program since the 90s and now they're selling a new one every year? every 6 months? nice....

aesir · Oct 2009

yea, work makes me use cs4 for PS flash and ae, but I still use PS 7.0 at home.

but let's be hopeful and maybe cs5 will rock our socks.

El Burritoh · Oct 2009

We have had so much crap with CS4 at work. Especially After Effects CS4. It's enough to make us all look at getting Fusion licenses, despite the price difference. Photoshop CS4 has some cool things about it, but even it is a little bloated and requires some beefy system specs to take advantage of all the "improvements."

I can only HOPE that CS5 will stabilize things. But it's Adobe, so who knows. Big companies and all that...

Me too. I can't imagine needing CS5.

Ark · Oct 2009

Seem to be going the Autodesk route of yearly releases with hardly any new features.

El Burritoh · Oct 2009

I hate that Adobe and Autodesk have so much in common.

BeatKitano · Oct 2009

Maybe, someday, i will be able to resize my selection accross multiple layers at once... oh yeah.

And some tools pie menu too, yeah i love pies...

AshleyTayles · Oct 2009

CS2 FTW!

El Burritoh · Oct 2009

All I ask is that PS remember where you last saved something. Every time I "Save As" I have to navigate back to the same stupid directory. Can't PS just remember it, like every other program that's been around for the last 10 years?

Here is a new video, it's kind of interesting, I can't really grasp how I would use these tools yet. Problem is this video is really distracting because the presenter sounds like he is talking to a 5 year old.

that ctrl point warp method is pretty cool
my lunch went all over the keyboard when he did the whole referee bit
that narrator is either on some really awesome LSD or is the real life 40 year old virgin
best video narration OF, ALL, TIME... emmy award winning even.

Frump · Oct 2009

Yeah, aside from teh crazy announcing and overuse of the word "technology", that control point warp isn't new. It already had it in Adobe After Effects and various animation software, and who knows where else. Nice to see it in photoshop though, I could see myself using it.

As for the brushes stuff... Weird. Enhanced smudge tool but also real simulation of brush tips? Could be interesting, but it's not high on my list of things I think Adobe labs should be working on.

Something like this is far more interesting. Also CS5

Disco Stu · Oct 2009

After effects puppet tool is a toootally new technology -.-
The way the presentation is set up kinda shows that they know that no one really needs
this... but its football players!!! Wacky waving inflatable adobe labs salesman ^^

I guess the only new thing is the attempt to steal painters piece of the cake.

moose · Oct 2009

"now check this out, i have a WAHH -COLOM INTOYOUOS 4 with a special art pen"

I really hope this is cs5.org, and not official Adobe video.

badass stuff there though, danm!! Transpose master in photoshop?! wuuuuttt

hell yeah

also really not too interested in brush simulation thing, one of the cool things of painting digitally is that you can do different things than what brushes restrict you to. What i really want is a regular brush that can smudge at the same time, like in opencanvas.

i just want a fucking brush that has proper pen tilt support.
using CS1.

anoon · Oct 2009

I am still rockin' CS2!

...that and forcing myself to get used to gimp.

skankerzero · Oct 2009

I choose to still use Photoshop 6.

It does everything I need it to do.

hawken · Oct 2009

someone needs to step up and take the crown from these dinosaurs.

The only decent feature I can see is that flash will now export iPhone application code.

But flash stopped becoming a creators tool - since it took a firm understanding of actionscript just to make a rollover button.

CS5 really is invention for inventions sake. I hardly use any of the new tools in CS4; the pixel grid (which you can't turn off) has made it so annoying to produce pixel graphics I now use other software.

The only good thing to happen in CS4 was a new version of illustrator - but even so that only added a few features found years ago in apps like freehand and quark.

it's just a shame that all their competitors are too immature to compete.

that

it's the last version that actually worked right

Blaizer · Oct 2009

Hawken, the pixel grid can be turned off.

ZacD · Oct 2009

I like the accelerated gpu stuff, but it needs more of it.

Blaizer · Oct 2009

You have the option in menu>view

I disabled the grid because it was really annoying

Noob!

derail. the point was, a new feature that is so annoying it breaks the software is not good software design. especially when forced to pay up to 300+$ for it. think viewcube.

hawken · Oct 2009

this is funny. We had the Adobe team come and demo us CS4 before we started using it, I asked about the grid and if it could be turned off and they said no. It's why I assumed there was no off button.
