Review of Adobe Creative Suite 5

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the draw-me-a-picture dept.

Barence writes "Adobe today updated its Creative Suite software to version 5, and PC Pro has an absolutely massive collection of reviews. Along with an overview of the entire suite, from Design to Web to Production bundles, every individual component gets the full in-depth treatment. It includes video demonstrations of Photoshop CS5's fabulous Content-Aware fill trick and new Puppet Warp function; a long-awaited step up to 64-bit for Premiere Pro CS5; and big updates to Dreamweaver CS5, After Effects CS5, and the rest."

    is Adobe continuing their trend of writing awful, inconsistent, ugly, usually-slow UIs?

    This came up a while ago, on John Nack (PS product manager)'s blog. Basically they think their custom UI stuff for CS is the beez knees, and you unlucky shmoes who "have to use" CS will be getting MORE not less of their crap in future (including CS5) versions.

    Have you played with Inkscape? If not, check it out. If yes, shucks.

    Who ever said you couldn't buy Photoshop by itself? It costs about $700, but it's a lot less than the full creative suite.
    Try looking at amazon next time.
