Photoshop CS5 Extended

[Riverlander]

My copy of this CS5 arrived today and I now have it installed and running properly on my home computer andon my laptop. Laptop is a bit slow -- but I can live with that.
Installation takes 1.25 gig of HD space.

About all I have had time to do is "play with" the Content Aware Fill and Brush... Just amazing.

I hope to dedicate quite a few hours to learning the new bits etc over the next 3 days. I have got access to some good CS 5 videos on Lynda.com

Anyone with inquiries is welcome to send them -- I can only try to answer them as I learn.

PS I am by no means a Photoshop expert, but I will get there!!!!! SLOWLY

Thanks, Graham, that's good of you. And here I am just about to install CS4. I feel like a fossil already. (But on a happier note, I got Win7 64-bit going on another computer.) (Grin!) Am.

Hello Graham,

How did you get a copy so early?
I thought it wasn't arriving in Australia for at least another 4/6 weeks.

How did you get a copy so early?

Paid for it 2 weeks ago and Adobe Aus said early May. They were right.

CS5 is amazing have watched a few videos and can't wait to get my copy.

I downloaded and installed the 30 day trial last night. Seems to do a few things quicker than CS3 (I skipped CS4).

Once installed did you have do any updates or haven't Adobe issued any yet?

I'm not in any screaming hurry for it yet but I must say the stitching application seems faster and is definitely more accurate than CS3 is.

I checked and there were no Adobe updates available. I had all my other Adobe stuff - Adobe Reader, Camera Raw etc, - up to date before I installed CS5.
I will constantly monitor it.
