Announcing Adobe Creative Suite 5.5!

Monday, April 11th, 2011

CS 5.5 Good morning to you! Great news for you today! And finally I can share it with you, I cannot wait to do it so let’s get straight to the point.

Adobe announces Adobe® Creative Suite® 5.5! And it even comes with optional subscription based pricing! Adobe has just announced an update to its Creative Suite – CS 5.5. The update mostly focuses on updates for the smartphone platform.

Adobe plans to change their “major releases cycle” to 24 months instead of 18.

Adobe says:

“the CS update is focused on enabling designers and developers to target popular and emerging smartphone and tablet platforms,” and provides “substantive advances to HTML5, Flash authoring, digital publishing and video tools as well as new capabilities that kick-start the integration of tablets into creative workflows.”

Adobe has also introduced subscription-based pricing for the Creative Suite, with monthly pricing schemes.
The monthly pricing scheme includes products like Photoshop for US$35 per month, Adobe Design Premium CS 5.5 for $95 per month, and Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Master Collection for $129 per month.
Of course, you can also pay for the suite all in one go, but it’ll cost you anywhere from $1299 up to $2599 for the Master Collection.

For all the information about the new exciting features and changes, navigate to Adobe website:

Adobe CS Review

Friday, January 21st, 2011

CS Review in Creative Suite 5

CS Review is a fantastic new service from Adobe implemented into Creative Suite 5.

It is available in Photoshop CS5, Illustrator CS5, InDesign CS5, and Premiere Pro CS5. It is so much easier to use it instead of creating Pdf comps and sending them to your clients.

The main purpose behind CS Review is to quickly share your design ideas with your clients or colleagues and you can do it straight from within Adobe Photoshop (or other applications as mentioned above)!

CS Review is a part of CS Live Services introduced by Adobe with Creative Suite 5 release last year and it is a complimentary service for a year. You just need to sign up with your Adobe account (which is Free as well).

Have a look at the interesting article that I found online and read it through. It explains how to work with CS Review and it guides you step by step. Here is the link:

Speed up Photoshop Projects using Adobe CS Review by Jacob Cass.

Enjoy!

The Photoshop Family

Friday, October 8th, 2010

Did you know that we have a “Photoshop Family”? Not? Really?

Photoshop family is a set of products from Adobe. It is a set of products for everyone – no matter what you use it for, you will find a product for you. People often ask me about different “Photoshop” products when they come to my courses. By the way, here is the link to my training website if you want to get some more information:

Adobe Certified Training – SaiTraining.

As i often get asked about all these products, I am going to explain it. Here are the products:

Adobe Photoshop CS5
Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3
Adobe Photoshop Elements 9

Let me start with Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop CS5 Extended:

Photoshop CS5 is a powerful, professional tool for image selections, retouching, painting and creativity. You can use it to edit your images, add artistic filters as well as create things from scratch (like the snow or lightning I created in one of the Episodes of PhotoshopLightroomTV). For more information on Photoshop, check Adobe website – Adobe Photoshop CS5.

Photoshop CS5 Extended includes all state-of-the-art tools and features of Photoshop CS5 plus some add-ons…
Photoshop CS5 Extended includes tools that can be used to create and enhance 3D images and motion-based content. It is widely used by video professionals and cross-media designers.

Photoshop Lightroom (now in the 3rd incarnation ) is a fabulous intuitive digital darkroom, a perfect tool for every photographer, professional and amateur as well. With Lightroom you can quickly manage, edit and export loads of images.

And finally Photoshop Elements, now in version 9, a photo-editing software that delivers powerful options to make it easy to create extraordinary photos, quickly share them in Online Albums and unique print creations, and automatically organize and help protect all your photos and video clips.

That’s it for today. Have a fantastic weekend and see you on Monday!

Raw images – Lightroom and Photoshop CS5 Integration

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

I have received a question regarding Lightroom and Photoshop integration while working with Raw images.

What if you want to work with Raw images in Lightroom and then open them in Photoshop? Yes, you can definitely do it and straight in Lightroom but the image will open in Photoshop not in Adobe Camera Raw as expected.

However there is a trick that you can use to be able to open raw images in Adobe Camera Raw. I recorded a video about it so have fun watching it!

I hope you have a fantastic day!
