My copy of this CS5 arrived today and I now have it installed and running properly on my home computer andon my laptop. Laptop is a bit slow -- but I can live with that.
Installation takes 1.25 gig of HD space.

About all I have had time to do is "play with" the Content Aware Fill and Brush... Just amazing.

I hope to dedicate quite a few hours to learning the new bits etc over the next 3 days. I have got access to some good CS 5 videos on Lynda.com

Anyone with inquiries is welcome to send them -- I can only try to answer them as I learn.

PS I am by no means a Photoshop expert, but I will get there!!!!! SLOWLY

Thanks, Graham, that's good of you. And here I am just about to install CS4. I feel like a fossil already. (But on a happier note, I got Win7 64-bit going on another computer.) (Grin!) Am.

Hello Graham,

How did you get a copy so early?
I thought it wasn't arriving in Australia for at least another 4/6 weeks.

Paid for it 2 weeks ago and Adobe Aus said early May. They were right. :D

CS5 is amazing have watched a few videos and can't wait to get my copy.

I downloaded and installed the 30 day trial last night. Seems to do a few things quicker than CS3 (I skipped CS4:rolleyes:).

Once installed did you have do any updates or haven't Adobe issued any yet?

I'm not in any screaming hurry for it yet but I must say the stitching application seems faster and is definitely more accurate than CS3 is.

I checked and there were no Adobe updates available. I had all my other Adobe stuff - Adobe Reader, Camera Raw etc, - up to date before I installed CS5.
I will constantly monitor it.
