No thanks pixelmator is enough for me and it works much more better.

The price tag is humongous. I do like photoshop a lot - but $200 upgrade price for 'three' hot new features is asking too much. That is why it is almost nonexistent outside corporate world/creative industry as a legit app (I know a lot of hobbyists and enthusiasts do acquire it and use it by other means).

I wish I could get a PS upgrade for only $200!The price tag is humongous. I do like photoshop a lot - but $200 upgrade price for 'three' hot new features is asking too much.

So...it's Adobe's fault that people pirate their software? Riiiiiiight.
Who would waste there time with this bloated crapware?
There are other and less expensive alternatives to CS whatever.
Leave the "trails" and the Suites alone, nothing but a Lazy greedy group nowadays. Their prices reflect how much they care about there consumers.
Instead of Boycott flash I say, Boycott the entire company until they change their attitude.

Sure... All those professionals out there must be so stupid buying it. Lucky you are superior and provide us your wisdom. A real enrichment...There are other and less expensive alternatives to CS whatever.

Yes,we all know cs5 is expensive but it is intended for use by professionals who make more than enough to cover it's costs. Anyone who is suggesting that any other program like gimp or pixelmator can even come close to ps's capabilites probably are not in photoshop's target market. For example, I don't think either of he apps has cmyk support, let alone color management capabilities, making them totally useless in a prfofessional setting where work is printed.
Lets see if they actually bothered with Fireworks...
While that's true, you should read "The Innovators Dilemma" sometime. Adobe may be okay with letting those other programs pick up the customers they don't want right now, but those programs are getting better all the time and eventually will become 'good enough' for many of Adobes current customers. It happens so often in business (and especially in technology) that is surprises me that so many businesses ignore it when it's happening to them.
AE is also 64-bit. And those are the ones (ps, pp, ae) that benefits the most.
Let's see when any of FCS is 64-bit Cocoa...
Content-Aware fill does not work like it did in the video on youtube. Kinda disappointed.
I long for the days of Macromedia...
Oh well. I am going to give Pixelmator a go and try to get better at Gimp. I really want to break any dependence on Adobe like i did with MS in 2005.
Photoshop was never a Macromedia product. Photoshop and Illustrator are straight-up Adobe since the late 80s.
Yeah, but at least when Macromedia was around Adobe had a modicum of competition. Fireworks had some advantages for web design, and I've known people who preferred Freehand to Illustrator.
Now that there's no Macromedia to worry about, Adobe can make buggy products that barely change at all between versions, and charge the sun, moon and stars for them... and we poor stupid customers have no choice but to pony up.
