Adobe Announces Creative Suite 5 including Photoshop CS5 and Flash Catalyst CS5

"From time to time, you may notice that it's possible for them to compete for the limited amounts of RAM on your system. To avoid this situation, we've added a new performance optimization that allows Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, Encore, and Adobe Media Encoder to intelligently coordinate their memory usage. This means that they won't blindly step on each other and and your work will continue to flow."

Manny things will be twice as fast. So its like staying on CS4 and buying a Mac twice as fast! So cool!

Hello. I visited Adobe Store - International. Looks like it will be shipped by mid-May. If I buy the academic version of CS4 today anywhere in the world, do I get a free upgrade next month? If not, by paying a very small amount, do I get just a disc or a full product in an unopened box? I suppose that the except for the price, the academic version of CS5 is the same as the commercial version. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

I don't know where all those stories come from. I've had about a dozen Macs in the last four years, and Flash never behaved like that on any of my machines. It performed slow on PowerPC Macs, but it certainly didn't turn a Mac "into a camp fire". And it certainly never made a Mac crash.

Is this all coming to OSX at the same time as windows? Or will we need Rosetta ;)

This made me laugh too:

"In addition, users can now build AIR applications using the new Packager for iPhone tool preview, a component of Flash Professional CS5, which can be deployed on the iPhone and iPad (subject to Apple's requirements and approval) "

Yeah right... Jobs already gave them the finger, no?

No, this feature is fully compliant with the CURRENT iPhone OS SDK EULA. It -might- become an issue with the forthcoming SDK, but I wouldn't be surprised if Apple will revert the announced changes because of the strong winds blowing into their face.

Why do all Apple nerds hate Adobe? They're no worse than Apple and them creating their locked-up platform and trying to control everything.

Adobe ruined the great Macromedia products, including flash and fireworks. Moreover, Adobe products were once great too, but now they are just trash, utter trash. Apple products have in general, gotten much better.

Lameass feature. Photoshop sux. Apple could do so much better. The sooner Apple can kill off Adobe the better. Cmon Apple release your Photoshop killer already.

Dream on. Photoshop is THE professional standard, especially in the professional print and medical business. It would take Apple more than a decade to come up with something in that league.
 
I have to say after looking at all the features I'm not that impressed. Content aware fill is brilliant and Flash outputting as HTML5 is great, but the rest of the suite of programs seem to have only had a spit and polish IMHO.

I can't see that many people upgrading, considering the content-aware fill demos have only been done on basic backdrops and nothing particularly complicated. Let's face it, if you want a picture of a wall your just going to ask the guy to walk out of the shot (see Adobe's demo).

It's nice to see Adobe moving some of their products to 64 bit. Hopefully CS6 will complete the transition. It's a shame about the price though. I would have thought they would have dropped the price after the backlash they got for CS4s pricing.
 
For the same low, low, recession-busting price of $97350420948357239! Pirates? What pirates? The real pros know they have to pay us anyway! Man, do we love a captive audience. And now we have a Vaudeville-style musical number for you about why leaving control of the Web in our capable hands is a good thing! Take it away, boys!

(But yes, content-aware fill will be quite a relief.)

Since Flash can also output as HTML5 now, my guess is they might just drop or disable the feature in a patch. There is no need to create a native app since Flash is primarily designed to work on the web, and as HTML5 it will fully support the iPhone/iPad.
 
I'm excited for Photoshop CS5; probably will just buy that; everything else, I'm fine with using CS4.

Unfortunately, any mac user who's tried this will eventually run into a problem where the file plays a sound at max SYSTEM volume. Usually the mac will trip something and disable the speakers until you restart or plug/unplug something into the headphone port.

I LOVED HTML5 YouTube when it worked, but the damage it does to your ears and speakers is unforgiveable, forcing me back to flash. :(

I have no idea what you're talking about. I've used HTML5 YouTube on two different MacBook Pros and never had this issue. I will say, however, that if this actually happened I'd think it's an issue with Safari handling HTML5 stuff rather than YouTube spitting out the wrong stream.

You are lucky not to have problems.

I hadn't thought that it was just confined to Safari. You're probably right. I hope it's fixed soon. HTML5 youtube gave my MBP an estimated 3.5 hours on full charge. Flash youtube is about 1.5, boiling hot with fans whirring.
 
Bah. Glad to see people voting positive. I'm totally against the haters here. Well, regarding Photoshop at least. I haven't used the other programs in a while.

I love Photoshop. Its not an irrational fanboy thing, I've tried all the alternatives. I have a lot of friends who depend on it every day. I run it at all times without issue. It's a very well designed program that isn't bloated at all for my needs.

Optimisations and 64bit support are great. We don't need Apple to make a Photoshop replacement any more than we need them to make a Quark/Indesign replacement. It would be a phenomenal waste of Apple's time and resources, and they'd likely make no impact in the market. How many of the people complaining about PS are people it's not targeted at anyway?

I'm interested in the new content aware features. Looks fun.
 
I have CS4 and use PS, illus and indesign pretty intensively but I know that I dont yet utilise anywhere near 100%

the upgrade looks great but for the price I doubt I will go for the full suite but might selectively upgrade some apps.

Engineering breakthroughs throughout Adobe Creative Suite 5 Master Collection work together to dramatically improve performance. Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects are now native 64-bit applications on both Mac and Windows®, allowing users to work more fluidly when working on high-resolution projects. The highly anticipated NVIDIA® GPU-accelerated Adobe Mercury Playback Engine allows Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 users to open projects faster, refine effects-rich HD sequences in real time and play back complex projects without rendering. The revolutionary time-saving Roto Brush tool in After Effects helps users isolate moving foreground elements in a fraction of the normal time. In addition, Dreamweaver CS5 now supports popular content management systems Drupal, Joomla! and WordPress, allowing designers to get accurate views of dynamic Web content from within the product.

Between the 64bit photoshop shop and drupal support I am so getting this. I can't wait to use this!

Is that Adobe or Apple though?

My Windows computer works just fine with Flash.

I signed up to the beta early and I have had great results.
flash is the buggiest thing on the computers and I welcome something more stable and more importantly less proc intensive. Personally, if that was a better adoption of flash within OSX that would be fine. I only want better services not necessarily a new standard

Give it a year - then Apple will buy Adobe.

Let's hope they don't approach this like they did Emagic. ;)

Thereis only one EULA for the iPhone SDK. Apple upgraded the EULA the same day SDK 4.0 came out, but if you don't agree you can not interact with the developer portal site; the EULA upgrade is compulsory and has nothing to do with 4.0.
