I don't see anything I couldn't do in half a dozen other apps.
It's cute really that they think 3D acceleration is new and innovative...
Or maybe I'll just jump ship to painter? They can add "advanced things" like this but they can't upgrade their brush system or even provide a way to easily organize them? Shameful...
If bloated is a factor.. PS7 or for some CS2 should be our last upgrade
but this is an awesome feature which i already have thought quite a few uses for texturing, creating patterns, concept pose tweaks.. not to mention 2D animation previews, story boarding, etc etc.
ofc you might not be doing any of these things and you might think this is useless to you.. and in this case i can't say anything but "fair enough"
Painter although my favorite by far for painterly textures, concepts and fast creative exploration.. simply is not photoshop. Otherwise everyone would be using it for that. It does have many of the same tools.. but it simply is not it.
I dont have a problem with the new UI except that its so unbelievably slow.
CS2 is the biz, I couldnt loose my healing brushes
But really i see this mostly being used to "correct the pose" of celebrity photos...
Draw complex design, use puppet tool, now you have a perfect design following the trim on your characters pants. Seems practical to me.
Yeah the doll example was stupid but that doesn't mean the tool sucks. All it means is that their marketing sucks and we already knew that.
Between this and all the content-aware tools CS5 is looking badass.
I can def. see this being usful for photo projecting in apps where you switch to photoshop like Mudbox photo projecting workflow.
Not to Hi Junk this thread or anything but did you also see Content Aware Fill? Yet another worthless tool!

who came up with all that junk
they have IK bones in flash since CS4 that wowed everyone - times used by creative agencies or animators: 0
The IK bones stuff in flash is total garbage. Hopefully this works better. Being able to pin parts of the image seems useful.
They should have called it automask, then added the result to a new layer as an editable mask. Yes it saves time but is really a duplicate function.
What would you say are the most important features of Photoshop?
For me it's these;
no1. - brush presets - how effective they are with a tablet pen
no2. - masking - controlling edge sharpness/softness to blend images
no3. - selections - control over selecting and keeping edges clean
Is that sarcasm? I'm pretty sure it's a photo-editing program that also happens to be used by game artist and painters.
That's nonsense. If it were a photo editing program that also happens to get used by artists a feature like this would make perfect sense, and we all know this feature is ridiculous.
I was using the image along spline feature in 3D coat but this is so much better - if it was a plug in I'd pay $100 for it.
edit: yes I know I'm bumping an old thread, it's just funny how everyone was pooping on the idea
I was stuck doing UI art at the time, I was in a dark place!
Seriously, Photoshop needs it's own Wiki, I didn't even know it had this until Justine bumped the thread.
Also, Justin, if I may ask, what where you talking about earlier in terms of ropes and such for 3DC vs. PS?
Do you mean in PS you can use Tile around a mesh such as a rope on a 3D character, or do you mean post-process?
In Photoshop I'd just draw out a long rope and then use Puppet Warp to bend it into place. Of coarse it doesn't work that great across UV seams but I'm going to have a go at puppet warp combined with 3d coat's projection paint in photoshop option.
I'm working on 600 - 1,000 triangle characters, it may work a little better on higher poly models. I do plan on doing a 3D-Coat video in the future and since I don't have CS5 at home I'll demonstrate using the image spline tool for features like ropes, betls, etc...
Before I used to select, rotate, and then try to blend the seam. Saves me a ton of time.
Painter is great if you have a strong traditional background, its much closer to home, but there are tons of things that are much easier to do in Photoshop then in painter. So if I was you i'd use painter as a complementary package to use in conjunction with Photoshop, but not as a replacement. Experiment with it, find its strong and weak points and adjust your workflow accordingly.
I still lean toward making a high poly object and baking it down, but this could come in handy for doing certain things. I could see myself using it to knock in hanging wires, pushing around wire bundles and running cords along walls. I wonder if it works with nDo2 at all... humm need to play with it.
I still cry foul over their treatment of brushes, their lack of keyboard shortcut modernization for left handed artists and a bunch of other crap that they have let rot for over a decade that would improve my daily experience with Photoshop 10x... but they spend their time working on crazy new things, that are useful sure... but what about the rest of the crap that they have been ignoring?
I didn't jump ship to painter, but I did fall in love with Art Rage. I still use photoshop but for just drawing and painting I do love me some Art Rage.
