First report from my beta testing of PS CS5

[cheska99]

I can't tell you THAT much about CS5 for a couple of good reasons. One, we're under constraints about what to say. (And I can completely understand that as I'm sure I could easily sow a lot of disinformation in my raw enthusiasm). So I can't just list some of the new features and say I love them because of those rules. But also, they just dropped us beta testers in with no tutorials, not even help screens. So I just had to work from a pretty uncommunicative list of new features and therefore don't know nearly as much as I'd like to know about them. The minute the first course appears on Kelby Training for the new features, you can be sure that I'll be in the classroom.

But we are encouraged to show you pictures we've worked on with the new version, so here you go. It's a now you see it, now you don't exhibit. In the pictures below you will see that there is a rake in one picture that's not in another. Lots of you could probably painstakingly remove that rake with current features, but when I tell you that I took the rake out in less than 30 SECONDS, I feel you should be impresssed! And yes there were quite a few Eiffel Towers visiting my garden the day I took this picture. In fact, just for fun, I spent another 30 seconds on it and took out two of the Eiffel Towers, too.

that is pretty cool! That is the one feature I am crazy about and I don't even know the rest yet Pretty cool stuff!

yes from the video on facebook and your example-that function may well be worth the hundreds the program will cost-last night I worked to remove some graffitti from a sign, it is gone, but it took quite a bit of effort and it isnt perfect-so this new function would be most welcoming in my world. although, it seems it wont be long before we are all masters of our reality-especially when we will have the power to so easily alter it.

Such a cool feature!

[dorah]

That feature alone is a strong selling point. Absolutely love it.

I saw the video on You tube - and it looks amazing - just like the work you have done here.

[LauraBean]

This looks so very cool. I also saw the video that's been going around, and it's simply stunning.

I did not upgrade to CS4 but this alone will make CS5 worth thinking about!!

[champsarahjoy]

wow! drooling a bit :-)

[Squeak]

Thanks for sharing these photos, Sharon. I, too, saw the You Tube video about the new feature for CS5, and I've been drooling ever since. Time to start saving my pennies!

[ptabbert]

Well, I did just upgrade to CS4 but this looks like a no-brainer. Starting to save now!
