Photoshop CS5


Recommended Posts

Glad to see these new feature are included in the standard CS5 release and not limited to the Extended version. I have no need for the extended version as I don't do any video.

 

I'll wait for the release so I can purchase it from someplace that does not charge tax and maybe get free shipping. Every time I order directly from Adobe they stick me with tax and shipping.

get ready to see HDR used everywhere! :o

 

Not again! :)

 

I'n not sure I'll go for CS5 as to be honest I try to avoid doing too much PP anyway and I need to finally decide on LR3 or Aperture 3 and find a replacement for Dreamweaver now that I can't use Studio MX on Snow Leopard so that's more than enough outlay on software for 2010 methinks.

I bought the download on the foolish thought that it would be immediate. Well the removal of the money from my charge card was but I was then advised my download would be available around 30th of April. Rip off is the phrase that springs to mind. The contextual replacement tool looks fantastic though.

Wilson, doesn't the web page say that it's not available yet? It did when I looked yesterday.

 

Yes it does, IIRC, but that doesn negate that fact that they already got wilson's money.

 

IIRC in the US the last time I bought from the sdobe website they didn't chrage my card until the software was shipped. But that was in the US.

As someone who upgraded from PS6 through to CS3 incl, I skipped CS4, so I

will upgrade. I too went through the purchase process, but did notice all that is currently on offer is a "pre-order".

 

I'd rather keep hold of my money until something "physical" is available. I agree that's very shabby on Adobe's part, especially since they charge more for a download only.

Steve,

 

The email shot I got and from which I decided to purchase, carefully omitted that item - been taking lessons from British Politicians - being economical with the truth.

As the OP of this thread I too was mistaken or at least confused by the site. To me at least it appears one can download the software since if you take that strategy it takes you to the point of asking for credit card. I thus assumed it was ready for download as opposed to the menu stating pre-order on the full version! Once I was really ready to order later in the day it was clear to me that even the download was a pre-order(not sure why one would pre-order a download !). At any rate I pre-ordered a box upgrade !!

I wonder if Leica will be liaising with Adobe to avail themselves of the lens correction features. It corrects vignetting, distortion, chromatic aberration and colour fringing but no mention of red edges ;-}}

I placed my order, and it was plainly stated that the delivery was not till the end of the month. I was also advised that my card would not be charged until delivery. I am sure this would apply to all transactions!

 

It does look like a good upgrade doesn't it?

I paid with Paypal and I have already been charged - not too impressed.

PayPal took your money, which is common for them. If you had paid Adobe directly I doubt your card would of been charged until the software shipped.

 

This is something you didn't state in the original post.

 

Now PP has your money to do with whatever they want.

Ed,

 

I have done this with pre-orders before and Paypal, where a placeholder is put in your account and the charge does not usually go through before the goods ship. As I said above, I bought this via an email flyer from Adobe, which on re-checking, I found that the delivery delay was mentioned but in print at the bottom of the email, in a font that you would need a microscope to read. The payment has actually been made to Adobe, as I have checked the transaction details in my Paypal account and I have received an acknowledgement of payment and receipt from Adobe.
