Well the official announcement for Photoshop CS5 was yesterday. Just in time for all of us to realize we have a little extra from our tax returns… why not give it to Adobe. However if you begin to look at the prices, one finds a ridiculous amount being asked for the product. For example: to upgrade your CS4 that will run you as much as $899.00 from the current Master Collection to the newest version Master Collection. To leap from CS3 you find a price of $1,849.00 the idea behind these upgrade prices makes sense, and are actually a reasonable deal, all things considered. 

 

I would hate to be starting out and wanting to jump right into CS5 Master Collection, because there is a nice little number of $2,599.00 to deal with. Ouch! All the talk and recent hype about “content aware fill” this looks like a great investment. I will be ordering my Master Collection one this tax season is taken care of… two days. I better get moving!

Deck out to Tech out!
