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


Today, Adobe unveiled their latest Creative Suite 5 which includes products such as Photoshop CS5, Illustrator CS5, InDesign CS5, Premier Pro CS5, Dreamweaver CS5, Flash Professional CS5.

Focusing on interactivity, performance and maximizing the impact of digital content and marketing campaigns across media and devices, the Creative Suite 5 product line brings exciting full version upgrades of flagship creative tools while delivering significant workflow enhancements to designers and developers.

Creative Suite 5 also introduces Adobe Flash Catalyst CS5, a new design tool that allows you to create web application interfaces without writing code.

Using Flash Catalyst CS5, designers can easily add interactive Flash content to Web sites and applications by transforming native Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator artwork, as well as files from Adobe Fireworks CS5, into functional content and user interfaces (UI).


One of the most eye catching new features of Adobe Photoshop CS5 is content-aware fill which was demoed on video late last month:


Adobe will be offering an first look streaming preview of the many new features starting at 8am Pacific, 11am Eastern time today (Monday, April 12th). Adobe's Creative Suite 5 products are expected to ship in the next 30 days.

I can't wait to try this out and see how well the new features work!

I'm pretty excited for the content aware healing brush; hopefully it won't let us down.

What is it going to take to get Adobe to fix Flash so my computer doesn't turn into a camp fire everytime I go to YouTube?

This looks like something where the graphic artists and marketing types were paid more than the software engineers to get this product out.

That is the sad but, IMO, current state of corporate Adobe since the last original Photoshop engineers left a few years ago.

As a heavy After Effects user, this (64 bit cocoa) is the most significant release in a long, long time!

I didn't realise the release was so imminent, I hope they haven't put too much emphasis on flash to iPhone in their new catalyst suite
be cool to see if they have made flash more akin to how it originated as a tool for visual creatives to create web content, the change to as3 is great from a tech point of view but it is much more tailored to programmers than designers and subsequently makes a flash project more of a team event that us singletons can't compete with the agencies on.

I know all you flash haters and non programmer haters will be horrified at the thought of web content becoming easier to produce but an iWeb pro / dreamweaver wysiwyg style app for the middle ground level of complexity would be great.

That isn't Flash, it's your Mac that does it!

Ah, stop whining. If it wasn't for Flash you would have BitTorrent burning up your network connection and viewing everything online in Real Player.

And yeah, Real Player was worse in every respect, even when it was only the size of a postage stamp.
