To begin, I must say that I detected in the suite CS5 one of the major flaws of the CS4: it requires too much RAM and memory. Adobe software, in the past few years has shown a very annoying tendency to double the memory required to install the newer version of every software they own. 600 Mb in Photoshop CS2 turned into 2 Gb CS4, and now, as expected, you’d better have 3 and a half gigabytes to spare in your hard drive.
Another defect of this new suite is the very unpractical habit of sucking 110% of the resources of the machine, requiring an insane RAM and a demented graphic card for the programs to work properly. It makes me laugh that all the Adobe promotional videos are made with Macintosh computers, presumably more powerful than the sword of He-man, and yet all the new tools make them work slowly. The brushes have a good "delay, you will have to wait about 30 seconds (if no more) to apply certain filters ... and so on.
I must say, as a point in favor of the suite, that this time Adobe has had the detail of not having the whole interface changed, they have kept the CS4 design.
In the case of Photoshop, the 3D aspect has been polished. As a plus point, I must admit that the professional versions of the programs are well prepared to work all together because they are fully compatible. However, if God invented compatibility, the devil invented Bridge, a plague they didn’t got rid off in this new version.
I got really upset when I reviewed the new batch of tools of CS5. Each and every one of them (and I mean this for every program, not just Photoshop) are designed to make the softwares more accessible to the public. Don’t get me wrong, but as an artist with experience in the suite, cause I use it continuously to work, I feel infinitely ignored by programmers.
There are few improvements to make life easier for the professional user, such as being able to edit multiple layers at once. But the new tools are basically a candy collection for the general public, to make them able to play with digital creation. They have finally released "Flash Elements" under the name "Flash Catalyst" to make the creation of multimedia environments accessible to the average designer.
In conclusion. The CS5 suite is a somehow an extended version of CS4,but with many bugs solved; with a collection of tools for the public to play with the digital creation, but with little improvement for the professionals.
