Hey Jonnyapple maybe a night course in photoshop would help?^^ This is something I've been meaning to do actually, but living abroad in a primarily non-english speaking country renders this nearly impossible. She might quit digital photography altogether though when she starts messing with photoshop, especially if she freaks out waiting for Lightroom to generate a preview! :)D

New Photoshop CS5 Coming On April 12!

There has been a lot of discussion about where Adobe stands on PS for the Mac platform because it will require a complete re-write to Cocoa and a 64 bit implementation, which, to quote them, is a lot of work. There has been a migration away from the Mac platform by many PS professionals because of the productivity increases with the 64 bit Win version of PS. I wonder if they actually have done this or whether PS/CS 5 will just be a band aid that really is not what is needed. It also needs to be optimized for Grand Central Dispatch to better use the available resources of the multi-core CPUs.

Dang! CS5 is much more powerful than I imagined! It's absolutely revolutionary! I'm thinking of pre-ordering it already!

Well CS5 is here and dang it looks sweet. They've really upped it up for photographers with way better noise control, HDR, and auto lens correction with shareable lens profiles!
Watch the whole features video here or just fast forward to the 25:00 mark for the photography section. Or just click on the "CS5 for Photography" in the chapter selection to the right of the video.

I will admit, it has been a long time since I've wanted to punch a woman in the face so badly. That voice and affect, too much for me.
(sorry I'm just angry because my logic board has failed)
Those noise removal tools look pretty nice compared to now. Content aware still freaks me out.Posted 3 years ago # -
Thanks for the find, Niko. I'm just hoping they improve LR's noise reduction at the same time. There's nothing there that will get me to upgrade from CS4, but I'll definitely get LR3 if it's got those noise reduction sliders.

It looks like I'm going to preorder LR3. Those noise sliders are in ACR and so are shared with LR. Warning, it's narrated by the same annoying woman, foofie.

foofie I hope the last woman you "punched in the face" shattered both of your testicles!!! Really WTF kind of comment was that?!?
ANYWAY... yeah the noise sliders are pretty impressive.

Here are some results from playing around with it for a little while. I found a shot at ISO 200 from my D300 where I had forgotten to turn on the flash, so it was underexposed by 3.5 stops (which means it was basically ISO 2500 but probably a bit noisier because high ISO NR wouldn't have been applied). I've got three versions here.
original image (only blacks slider changed to 0)
corrected with no noise reduction (exp, wb changed—this is a big file because of the noise)
final edit (exp, wb changed and noise reduction applied)I'm really impressed. I'm going to try a few low light shots this weekend and might even play around with the film grain effect that's new in LR3.
If anyone wants to try out that noise reduction shown in Niko's movie, you can get the LR3 beta ver 2 that lasts until June 30.

"I will admit, it has been a long time since I've wanted to punch a woman in the face so badly."
"wanted" is the key word there :)
You guys just might be a bit sexist, if a person spouts nonsense (a la Ann Coulter or Sarah Palin) I think sometimes they just need a good smack in the head, male, female or anywhere in between.(it should be noted that I am joking and I have not now and will not ever punch a woman in the face.)

I have my CS5 upgrade in my hands. I always ask around before upgrading. Anyone have any upgrade stories to share? Hiccups? Blow ups? I'm going from Design Premium CS4 to Design Premium CS5 on a Mac Pro 8 core 20gb ram. OSX 10.5.8

however here in china millions of people own PS CS3 or PS CS4 in their PC but nearly none of them paid Adobe; cracked versions instead.

My employer has evidently negotiated a remarkable deal with Adobe - recently we had to purchase "maintenance licenses" for our academic copies of CS4 for about $60 USD. Ok, kind of a pain, but I want the updates so I said yes. I had no intention of upgrading to CS5. Then about a week ago, I get an email: everybody who sprang for the "maintenance" is eligible for a CS5 "upgrade" for $10. So, ours are kind of "cracked" as well. I know this may be deeply offensive to commercial users, but we're purchasing Adobe CS licenses by the high hundreds...
Still not ready to install CS5 on my main machine (which is still Leopard, not Snow Leopard.) I've heard that 32 bit plug-ins aren't happy in 64 bit mode. I'm not plug in crazy, but I really rely on Viveza and Noise Ninja and I'm not anxious to do their CS5 testing for them. Neither Nik Softaware nor Picture Code (Noise Ninja) expressly supports CS5 at this time (for those products). There are work arounds.
I'll put CS5 on my Mac Mini at home, which is already Snow Leopard - I lost Nikon NX in that deal. But I hated the UI anyway....
My Mac Pro started life as a base-level eight core machine with 4gb ram. I added the ram and several more hard drives. Much cheaper than ordering from Apple! That machine is an absolute pleasure to work on!

Lawls, I'm still working on Photoshop CS2.

In order not to fall foal of the new thread rule I bumping this one
I mainly use LR3 but since trying CS5, I find I am running out of memory, particularly with Content Aware. I am on a Dell M6400 PC laptop, 32 bit windows 7 , with 4 GB ram an external 30” monitor. Plenty of space on the hard drive, as the library is on an external drive .
I am looking at a new 64 bit Desk Top, but what spec do I need? All the adobe forums say the more RAM the merrier, but how much do I realistically need and what processor and graphics card do you use
Please Please don’t tell me to buy a Mac, it’s too late ,as I have invested too much in PC software, some of which does run on a MAC

i have never found good info on how many cores cs5 uses.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Seven; I don't think simply going to 64-Bit will help. I have 64-Bit Windows 7 and hit the same problem. What processor do you have?
