With Photoshop now shipping and the 30 day free trial available on the website I decided to give it a quick spin.

Firstly it looks very familiar to what we have all become used to. If you used CS3 or CS4 you will be right there.
We are talking 64 bit now, so most plugin producers will have to release compatible versions for it. Shouldn’t take long though.
Whilst the new warp function is not of much interest to me, I am really digging content aware fill. It gives a whole new range of possibilities, which in particular landscape photographers will know to appreciate. It also solves big issues when stitching panoramas.
Will talk more about it once I have thrown a few images at it.

Here is a not-so-serious video of one of Adobe’s biggest fan:

This is very exciting, and I can’t wait to get my own hands down and dirty with CS5

Make sure you also check out the CS5 learning center. Here is a sneak peak:

More than 350k photographers downloaded the free public beta 1 of Lightroom 3. Now there are more improvements, based on the feedback Adobe received from the first beta.

When I was talking to Thomas Knoll (the creator to of Photoshop) in Antarctica, I got a sneak peak of some of the CS5 features.
I was asked not to say anything to the outside world so I kept my mouth shut. Until today!

One of the amazing features I saw was content aware filling. For me as a landscape and panorama photographer this tool is going to be very very helpful.
Just check out the below video for what it can do. It’s almost like magic.
