I can't wait to see the Byzantine upgrade processes from a current CS product to the new round of CS bundles. But that's Adobe in a nutshell, selling you tons of stuff you don't need or want to get the handful of stuff you care about. Photoshop CS5 was code named White Rabbit - yes, the little guy in Alice in Wonderland and a symbol for the search for truth. For example, 'retouching capability which makes it easier to remove objects from images' should also be in Lr. I wish Lightroom would get just the pieces of Ps that the average photographer needs instead of trying to sell us both Lr and Ps (or CS Suite). Adobe has also reportedly added a retouching capability which makes it easier to remove objects from images. The bulk of the other changes within Photoshop CS5 are said to focus on 3D features. Instead, the enhancements will play to designers who work with relatively large files, manipulate 3D objects, and work with video. The casual Photoshop user won't recognize too much of a difference in the software over the existing version, these people say. As such, the bulk of the Adobe's efforts on Photoshop CS5, which goes by the code-name 'White Rabbit,' will reportedly come in the flavor of under-the-hood improvements, according to people who are familiar with the latest private betas of CS5 for Mac.
