Photoshop CS5 has been shipping for a couple of weeks now, and if you follow such things, you’ve probably already heard about its new features. Photoshop serves many markets, from photography to graphic design to movie and web site production, so determining an overall assessment of the program can be tricky, as different markets have different needs. For photographers, though, Content-Aware Fill and the new Camera Raw are reason enough to upgrade. Many other features abound, and you can read about them in my comprehensive review. |
“Interesting perspective on the subscription model for Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. I agree that the $120 per year subscription for both Lightroom and Photoshop is a great deal for serious photographers who want to stay up-to-date with the latest tools and features. It’s a bit of a shift from the traditional model, but it’s hard to argue with the fact that Adobe continues to offer the best editing software for most people. I also like that you pointed out alternatives like Capture One and other software. It’s good to have options, especially if you’re not happy with Adobe’s pricing or policies. The landscape of image editing software continues to evolve, and it’s important for photographers to find the tools that best suit their workflow.”
