So, what do you like about Creative Suite 5 and how will you be using it?
(in up to four sentences)
CS5 is Fast and Fluid as Mercury thanks to Mercury Playback Engine I’ll be using it for video and Graphics with hopefully new Fermi Graphics cards.

I gotta say I’m excited about the new Content Aware tools in Photoshop.
I love CS5 mainly because of the new masking tools which save me a lot of work – although not perfect but it saves so much time and I get an excellent starting point in only less than one minute.
The Photoshop Book would be nice to get my coworkers up to speed as well.
Creative Suite 5 is a groundbreaking release that’s speeding up many of the tasks that took much longer with CS4 and CS3. It’s only a week old and yet it’s already well on its way to paying for itself. We’d love to win the CS5 Design Premium Classroom book as that would help leverage our investment even further. Thank you for another great giveaway!
CS5 is like a roundtrip ticket to Riaville. We will be using the new Flash Catalyst along with Illustrator, Photoshop and Flash Builder to create some super cool Flash apps for forward-thinking businesses. The complete roundtrip functionality with FXG is truely something to behold. I am looking forward to reading the books and learning all about this exciting new release.
My original plans were to develop iPhone games in Flash. My new plans are to develop Android games in Flash :)
CS5 is wonderful and very stable.. The content aware feature is revolutionary. Refine mask will be very helpful when making selections. Editing photos has been made easier. Photoshop CS5 is a “must have” for anyone that deals with photography. @ProDesignTools
My jaw dropped the first time I saw a video for the new Content Aware Fill in Photoshop CS5. I kept thinking of all the hours I had to spend before trying to fix photos before but with CS5, it’s like magic! Thanks for the giveaway, ProDesignTools!
I’m looking forward to showing students the potential that they have to uncover a world full of even greater possibility. Trying to encourage young people to share beauty and creativity as a gift to others is not easy. CS5 seems to unlock huge levels of potential and all in a way that is efficient and powerful!
I have a new AVCHD camera, and am looking forward to editing HD with Premiere Pro CS5 and my GTX 285 card – and hopefully a good new CS5 book!
We’re editing our new film, DELIVERED with Premiere Pro and since we are new at special effects, we sure could use some great books. We have a good library, but are always looking to add to it. Since we work with other filmmakers, it’s a great resource. We were lucky enough to beta test CS5, but there wasn’t any documentation ready yet. It’s fast and very stable and our film looks awesome. We shot it on RED and this is the only software where you can go straight from the camera to the timeline to the Internet or Blu-ray with no offline or working with proxy files. Absolutely amazing.
Selecting is much easier and more accurate with CS5
I use all the Adobe Creative Suite application every day for work and pleasure — especially Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. I would love to know everything about all the programs, especially Flash Catalyst!
CS5 thus far is substantially transforming our workflow, making many things much easier. It’s just a really nice release – well put together, smooth integration, speedy and responsive, enjoyable to use, polished and just feels good. Kind of like a fine new automobile, only without the seatbelt!
Hi, I am a newly-skilled web developer & part-time photographer; I will use these tools for learning more creative talents and to be able to start my own business, catering to all the creatives venues that exist. I believe with these adobe products, I can become an established professional with support of having adobe knowledge. This would be a great win for me, since I’ve never won anything :-)
I am amazed by the ‘content-aware’ function and plan on making all my troubles disappear with it, in mere seconds!! If only I had a ‘content-aware’ button for REAL LIFE!!!
I know that CS5 has the most powerful technology. It has the latest tools to manipulate and compose digital images very comfortably and fast. The speed in image editing and processing raw images to the highest standards is absolutely remarkable. Commercial benefits in high quality workflow and success in projected productivity can be achieved.
CS5 is AMAZING! Everything from content-aware, smart edge, super easy flash design with very little coding. I was on CS2 before I upgraded and it felt like I was only limited to the capabilities of CS2. Now with CS5 there are endless possibilities. This will help improve my business and go beyond the next level in design.
I went from CS4 to CS5 after watching the “Content Aware” video. After installing CS5 the first thing I did was to try out Content Aware, it’s easy to use and magical in its rendering. I have a lot of photos that I can clean up with just this one option. Thanks a lot Adobe!
CS5 has gone beyond the realistic into the sublime. The new content aware and selection tools are fabulous. I have been using the HDR program for conversion of 3 images and it is far superior to anything on the market today. The capabilities of this program are mind-boggling and the creativity will be endless. It is a smoothly operating program that will appeal to all, pros and amateurs alike.
I’m into the HDR, the Content Aware Fill, and the other great capabilities. As with most Adobe products it soo full of new and improved features that it will take us until the next release to find them all.
I’m excited about CS5 experience, Love the new icons and slash screens. The edge detection tool is very useful for production speed on multiple images and with all the other changes I may even use Photoshop for more web design.

To be honest living in Africa i only hear of Adobe online and also in movies, and it got me very interested seeing the things it can do and thus when i got hold of CS5 it was like a dream come true. Too bad i’m not yet a good user since I’m not familiar with how Adobe Photoshop works, and thus i just wanted the book so as to get educated and enjoy the use of CS5. Thank you.
I’m mostly going to use illustrator to create backgrounds and scenery for flash animations and applications.
I’m going to use adobe dreamweaver to create awesome websites for myself and clients.
I’m going to use adobe flash to create web games and mobile apps (except on the iphone ;).
I’m going to use flash catalyst and flex to create stunning web applications.
