Review of Adobe Creative Suite 5

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."

Content-Aware Fill = Old

[supersloshy]

For the record, GIMP has had a functionality similar to the content aware fill for YEARS. It's called the GIMP Resynthesizer plugin and if you're running a linux distribution that uses package repositories, it's probably in there. This blog post is one of the many that points this out.

And why is this modded offtopic? Poor butt-hurt Apple fans getting mod points = sad slashdotters

While I was just joking re the torrent, I think this is a legitimate reason to pirate the software if you're in the field (or want to be) and not well off. In fact I doubt if Adobe would lose much money if they just made the package free for private individuals. I don't think I'm alone in seeing a difference between personal and corporate copyright violation.
