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

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

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....

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.

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.

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

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

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...

CS2 FTW!

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.

You Tube

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.

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

You Tube

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.

"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

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.

I am still rockin' CS2!

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

I choose to still use Photoshop 6.

It does everything I need it to do.
