Abstract: Adobe Photoshop celebrates its 20th anniversary this year with an estimated 10 million users worldwide, exceeding the dreams of its founders who hoped it would sell 500 copies a month when it was first released. Now in its 12th iteration, Adobe Photosh...
Abstract: Not many programs make it to 20 years of age—Photoshop from Adobe is one of the few. The feature list of such a mature program (version 12) has to either get shorter but more extraordinary or branch into new areas—and Photoshop keeps ...
Offers a host of helpful new marquee features including Content-Aware Fill, intelligent selection and masking, and Puppet Warp; easy to access images in Photoshop via Mini Bridge; very fast performance thanks to native 64-bit support for Mac and Windows computers; dozens of user-suggested fixes; more HDR and painting tools and increased Camera Raw functionality
Lacks serious editing features for HD video; Merge to HDR function was slow and had some bugs; not much new in Adobe Bridge
I'd hate to be a Photoshop plug-in company right now. Adobe has added so many new tools to Photoshop CS5 that once were the domain of plug-ins and standalone apps—HDR, lens correction, and painting, just to name a few—I find myself going less and less...
The question for some users is going to be whether or not Photoshop CS5 is worth the upgrade over its predecessors. While I had some small reservations in recommending Premiere Pro CS5 over CS4, Photoshop CS5 is a slam dunk. I think that's due in no small part to Content-Aware Fill, which for many users may very well wind up being Photoshop CS5's killer app. It's something new we've never seen b
Extended is overpriced. Repoussé still not full 3D solution.
Photoshop CS5 is one of the most compelling versions we’ve ever seen, delivering a wide array of new toys that really make this a powerful imaging application. If you’ve been hanging back for a while, it’s time to take the plunge.Photoshop CS5...
Excellent painting features, Content-aware fill simplifies cleaning up photos, More responsive than earlier versions, Automatic lens correction
Expensive, Significant learning curve for advanced features
In addition to new natural-media painting tools, Photoshop CS5 sports an impressive array of useful new features that take much of the tedium out of editing. ...
64-bit enabled, Helpful Refine Edge feature, Easier merging of HDR images, Many community-driven improvements, Lens Correction filter uses camera/lens profiles, Better noise reduction in Camera Raw, Convenient Content-Aware Fill feature,
Many plug-ins/filters work only in 32-bit mode, App generally does not feel much faster.
Photoshop updates come along every 18 to 24 months, and in this economy, it’s harder than ever to justify the upgrade cost. With Photoshop CS5 and CS5 Extended however, it’s a no-brainer—especially if you skipped CS4. If you work in advertising or gra...

Faster 64-bit support; selection enhancements; content-aware fill; lens correction; Merge to HDR Pro; Mixer Brush; Puppet Warp; Repoussé and 3D improvements
Power hungry in places; optimised for high-end systems; Camera Raw plug-in in shipped version still requires an update; 3D offered in Extended version only
Photoshop CS5 offers several productivity gains, including Repoussé and selection enhancements, HDR Pro and Content Aware Fill. Whether artistic tools like Mixer Brush and Puppet Warp will be worth the price depends on the type of work you do. And you'll...
