CS5 really is cool (I've only read about it and seen examples of what it can do, no personal usage yet!). My favorite part about it though is that it can allow people to make games for the iPod Touch / iPhone.

I still am using cs2 so i'm definitely downloading and trying this
Does it really?! That's awesome but how so? I didn't know about that :mad:! Anyways, I just got CS5 as well and here are some of the awesome features people craving to see for themselves:Quote:

-Content-Aware Fill which works with the Spot Healing Brush and Edit->Fill command. Based on the same technology that makes Content-Aware Scale possible, this option makes zapping unwanted content from photos quick and easy. It works by comparing your selection or brush stroke to nearby pixels and then filling the selected area so it blends seamlessly with the background. It works unbelievably well.
-Refine Edge option (Improved) which allows you to make selections based on hard/soft surfaces along with the help of the "Smart Radius" option.
-Lens Correction & HDR
-Puppet Warp which allows you to easily move your subject’s arms, legs, or tail into a better position.
-Repoussé & New 3D Tools which lets you create 3D versions of a variety of 2D items such as text, paths, layer masks, and selections. It creates a 3D layer that you can use with Photoshop’s full arsenal of 3D tools. Don’t expect it to be a quick process, though; no matter what workstation you have, Photoshop requires some time to perform the 3D extrusion.
-Adobe Bridge improvements in-panel with Photoshop
-Many smaller tweaks
Layers got a few upgrades, too. For example, you can adjust the opacity and fill of multiple layers at once, nest layers into a deeper folder structure, save your favorite layer style settings as defaults from within the Layer Style dialog box, and drag and drop files from your desktop into an open Photoshop document to add them as a layer.
Other additions include a ghosted outline as you drag layer content using the Move tool (helpful when moving small items), visual feedback when you’re dragging layer styles from one layer to another (you see a big, partially transparent fx icon as you drag), and a new Paste Special menu item that lets you do all kinds of neat pasting tricks.
Photoshop updates come along every 18 to 24 months, and in this economy, it’s harder than ever to justify the upgrade cost. With Photoshop CS5 and CS5 Extended however, it’s a no-brainer -- especially if you skipped CS4. If you work in advertising or graphic design, the new Content-Aware Fill and the improved Refine Edge dialog are worth the upgrade price, not to mention the hundreds of enhancements that will make your editing life easier. If you never work in 3D, you can get away with the standard version of the program and save a ton. That said, the extended version makes more sense because it includes extra goodies such as the option to load several images into a Photoshop document automatically (File ->Scripts ->Load Files into Stack), more powerful video editing, animation control, and more.
If you’re a photographer, you’ll get more accurate results with the Lens Correction filter; merging multiple exposures now makes more sense and takes less time; and the Camera Raw enhancements mean your photos might not need to spend time in Photoshop at all. With all the time you’ll save by using the new tools, you can give the Mixer Brush a spin and create that painted masterpiece you’ve always wanted.

After:

Besides that and the black/white improvement, performance tweaks, few layout tweaks and all, it's still pretty much the same old CS4 :)

Also, there's a Content-Aware Fill plugin for GIMP users.

Tested it and it's neat actually. I didn't boxed out one, just go find it.
It looks the same, what's the difference?
It's pretty retarded how much of a difference their tweaks make.
My work flow has been cut by nearly 50% from CS4 to CS5.
Amazing.
Looks awesome.Quote:
