From what we have seen on the web, CS5 is probably one of the most anticipated releases from Adobe to date. Some of the editing features in Photoshop alone are breath-taking, pretty much what we have wanted for years will now be possible in the new Suite. Major differences: Flash as a stand alone app is no more. Flash Catalyst replaces what used to be Flash CS, and Flex 4 is now the main thrust behind Flashes online delivery Engine. More about this on a separate post.
Photoshop has turned 20 years old. One of the pioneering tools for most graphic designers has gone through some major changes since it first hit the stage in the late 80′s. Creators, Thomas Knoll and John Knoll first launched the application, then called “Display” in 1990. A quick name change the following year to Image Pro, then to Photoshop which remains it’s name today.
Photoshop CS5 promises some amazing additions to the suite of tools and effects, and we can’t wait to see its roll out soon. The leading image in this post was created by our Director using techniques common to Photoshop. A stack of layers, brushes and Effects went into creating our “Homage Photoshop in the Can” illustration.
