Photoshop CS5

[anglefire]

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.....

This is not new - CS4 also uses the GPU to allow flicks and stuff - and works really well!

I'd like to say, that I'll not buy it - but I suspect that I'll not be able to resist.

If you've got CS3 then wait for CS5, as it will save you a few bob.

Another crutch for the careless and sloppy? 

Can't wait to get it.

Apparently not so much on a Mac.  New version should use all my memory and the GPU.

So how much dedicated graphics memory can you get for your quad core?

Rumour is there will be new cards announced any day now.  Which wouldn't surprise me at all - Adobe and Apple are still pretty good friends.

BTW this probably isn't news to anybody but it was a surprise to me....April 12th is NOT the launch date  It's the "feature reveal" date.  When we find out what other goodies are in it.  FTW

I was all excited about that too.

That would make sense as the current beta 2 release of LR isn't due to expire until the end of June at which time (hopefully) we'll see the final release. In order to maintain full compatibility between LR and PS in terms of camera raw then I would expect them to be released at approximately the same time.

Yes Jonathan, its only the reveal day so it shouldnt be far from its release date, though, Cant wait to have a go with it

I don't have any form of CS just photoshop elements 6 and CS4 at uni...

You haven't heard about the flash war then?  Still, I suppose all good friends slag each other off violently and in public. I'm just so old fashioned

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.

I've just got a new Dell laptop for work that has an NVidia FX3800M with 1Gb on it. It sits nicely with the dual quad-core and 16Gb memory!! I'm using it for 3D CAD so need some decent horse power. It comes in handy for photo editing too

That content awareness in CS5 looks amazing, I was audiably shocked when the tree dissapeared. Can't wait to have a go for real.

Cheers

Apparently "content aware" is not as new as every one thinks.

Bankers and MP's have been using it for some time to make our money disappear
