Adobe Master Collection CS5

[Dark Elitist]

Hello,

Has anybody had a chance to play with Adobe Master Collection CS5 on a Mac? I've been contemplating buying a new iMac 27 inch and Adobe Master Collection CS5 because I've heard from people that it performs much better than the PC equivalent. Is this true?

Thanks!

It isn't out yet.

Some sites have completed benchmarks though: http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2010/04/photoshop_cs5_64-bit_benchmarks.html

I know that it isn't out yet "officially" but a lot of the times businesses or other persons get early or RC copies or something. That's kind of what I was asking. Sorry for not being more clear.

It looks to me like Adobe actually out-did themselves on this release. Added some really awesome features (Content-aware fill, puppet whatever among many) and was able to make it 64bit for Mac.

This is definitely the version to buy. Between CS3 and CS4 I'd say it's sixes; I know lots of people (me included) that didn't see reason enough to upgrade from 3 to 4, but 3-5 or 4-5? 100% absolutely.

It should most definitely be faster.
