Adobe CS5 Released

April 12th, 2010

Adobe has released version five of their suite of apps, CS5. Personally, I feel like I just upgraded to CS4, so I’m probably going to hold off upgrading to CS5 for a little while. Hell, I haven’t even figured out all the new features in CS4 yet! What do you think? Is this release to soon? A bit of a money grab on Adobe’s part?

New in CS5

There’s been some change to the Creative Suite on the fifth release. You now have 4 bundled options to choose from, which are:

Photoshop

There are now two version of Photoshop: Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended, and Adobe Photoshop CS5. What’s the difference? I’m not entirely sure except for the fact that the Extended version is $300 USD more. There’s a comparison chart you can check out. Unfortunately, it only compares the CS5 version to previous versions of the software. Hopefully Adobe will release some clearer instructions in the near future.

Flash

There’s also 2 versions of Flash available, the first is Adobe Flash Catalyst CS5, the second and more expensive option is Adobe Flash Professional CS5.

InCopy

One new app being offered with CS5 is Adobe InCopy CS5. Read below for Adobe’s description of this new app.
