Photoshop CS5 was launched on April 12, 2010. Photoshop is the
undisputed king of photography software, but many of us who use it every
day haven’t bothered to buy every new version. With the launch of
Photoshop CS5, which marks the 20th anniversary of the package, I wanted
to know if the upgrade was worth the money.
CS5 has four major improvements that – on paper – jumped out at me. The
most exciting is content-aware fill – and when I first used it on one of
my photos, my jaw dropped.
Significant changes:
- Content Aware Fill
- Puppet Warp Tool
- 64 bit for Macintosh
- Bristle Tips
- Mixer Brush
- Automatic Lens Correction
- Improved Camera RAW processing
- Camera RAW grain control
- Improved Ray Tracing (Extended)
- Repousse 3D extrusion tool (Extended)
- Image based lights (Extended)
