CS5 – (giggidy giggidy)

Adobe CS5 was released on 12th April and the online download was just available yesterday – this girl got herself a copy of it immediately afterwards. ^_- I was ignoring the hype of it until I saw the video of the content aware fill. If you haven’t seen it, you really need to! I would say I spend 40% of my time using the spot heal/clone stamp… this will save me sooo much time. Genius.

It is also SUPER fast. As pointed out to me, this is probably because for the first time ever Adobe wrote a seperate version for Mac rather than adapting one from the Windows version. Firstly… given that Macs are the standard for design studios I fail to see why this wasn’t done sooner, Macs are the main platform therefore they should surely be the priority release? This should have been done yeeeaars ago in my opinion.

I should hold my breath before until I have given it a thorough test run before I yap on about how magical it is. CS4 was a similar case… for example tabbed browsing seemed like a good idea at the time, but was actually irritating as hell. Though having said that, I only disabled opening files in tabs a couple of weeks ago.
