Photoshop CS5

[Forseti]

Following on from my seemingly controversial post regarding lens blur in Lightroom here's another bit of useless information...............or maybe not.   Now go on be honest, who wouldn't find this little feature (Content-Aware Fill Sneak Peek) perhaps to come with CS5 on April 12th just a little bit useful?

I knew CS5 was imminent because Adobe have been trying to palm CS4 off on me for a bargain £350 fat chance.

More to the point I've finally managed NOT to buy an upgrade

I stuck with CS3 even though it doesn't understand 'blad files.  Now I can splurge on CS5.  I skipped a whole 18 months of Adobe Tax

But yeah that video looks like sorcery.  And I want it

That's my subscription to the Adobe Tax signed up for.
Must have feature?
There it is in a nutshell - content aware!

I might pay a smaller tax to get it in elements 9. I haven't upgraded that for a while now.

My wife has now studied the video in depth and has decided that we will go into business as divorce photographers.

That is when relationships and marriages break down we will use this wonderful new tool to clone out the unwanted partner from all the pictures.
In bad taste?
Watch and see who advertises the service first!

Seriously impressed with that, god knows what spec machine you`d need to have to run it at any sort of reasonable pace though!

From what I hear....CS5 will offload a lot of the work to the GPU rather than the CPU.  So graphics card can become just as important as main processor.

My new laptop has the highest spec graphics card Apple would let me buy.  Using Hasselblad's Phocus (which uses the GPU) it's significantly faster than my 2.66 quad core Mac Pro with a ton of memory in it.  Time for a new graphics card.....

So how much dedicated graphics memory can you get for your quad core?
I remember Dell offering a graphics card with 1gb of dedicated memory and a dual GPU last year. Wasn't cheap but it was billed as a CAD buster.
