CS5 has been described as Adobe’s “most significant upgrade ever.” That’s a real challenge to live up to – PS5 introduced color management – but it might just be true. Whatever the case, there’s no question that CS5 is a must upgrade.
Adobe Photoshop CS5 Sneak Peek – Puppet Warp
Russell Brown offers a sneak peak of Photoshop CS5’s new Puppet Warp feature. Initially, you might think you’re not interested in using a tool that can create such dramatic distortions. But give that a second thought. What would you do with a tool that can also create very subtle distortions that aren’t obvious but nonetheless compelling – straighten a bowed horizon, make one object lean towards another, reshape a face, etc.

Photoshop CS5 Sneak Peek – Content Aware Fill
Bryan O’Neil Hughes demos CS5’s new Content Aware Fill feature.
One of the game-changing new features in CS5 is Content Aware Fill. It works like the Patch tool, only it’s easier to use. You simply select an area, click Delete, and choose Content Aware Fill. It’s fantastic for removing unwanted elements in images, even in challenging image areas like smooth gradients in skies. This feature will save you hours and hours. It might even change the way you think about making photographs.
