Photoshop CS5 Update 12.0.1 - Fixes CS5 Bugs, Speed Issues
From John Nack's blog comes news of an Adobe Photoshop CS5 Update. Here are the details:
Nothing matters more than stability and performance. I’m glad we can report that based on crash reporter statistics, Photoshop CS5 is more than 10 times as stable as CS4 (that is, it generates fewer than one-tenth as many crash reports). That’s not yet good enough progress, however. Accordingly, Adobe has released an update for Photoshop CS5.
You can now downlosd the Photoshop CS5 update (12.0.1) for MAC (11.3 MB) and the Photoshop CS5 update (12.0.1) for Windows (15.5 MB).
You can also get the update by choosing Help->Updates from within Photoshop.
Photoshop CS5 Tutorial - Merge To HDR Pro - Photoshop CS5 Tutorial From Photoshop Pro Mark Galer
Here is our first Photoshop CS5 tutorial, New To Photoshop CS5 - Merge To HDR Pro. From the intro:
I have to admit to not being a big fan of the original Merge to HDR feature in previous versions of Photoshop and, although not a big user of plug-ins or additional image editing software, I did succumb to purchasing standalone HDR software – this has, however, all changed with Photoshop CS5.
The automated feature for creating High Dynamic Range (HDR) images in Photoshop has been given a complete overhaul for Photoshop CS5 and has been given a new name ‘Merge to HDR Pro’. The Auto Alignment, Lens Correction, Remove Ghosting and expanded controls for rebuilding detail and contrast are now so good it will firmly establish Photoshop CS5 as the software of choice for photographers interested in HDR Photography.

Adobe CS5 Upgrade Options - Upgrade From Any Suite To Any Suite
You can upgrade from any Suite to any Suite, as there are no more restrictions. Customers can upgrade to CS5 suites from up to 3 versions back. For example, upgrade from CS4 Web Premium to CS5 Production Premium or from CS4 Production Premium to CS5 Design Standard. Or, upgrade from Design Standard CS3 to Design Premium CS5. Customers can even step down; go from Photoshop Extended to Photoshop or from a Master Collection to another Suite.
There is tiered pricing for Suite to Suite upgrades. Upgrading from a CS4 suite to a CS5 suite costs less than upgrading from eligible older versions, such as CS2, CS3, Studio 8, & Adobe Production Studio. Please note that CS1 and Studio MX 2004 customers are no longer eligible for upgrade pricing.

Adobe Photoshop CS5 And Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended New Features List
Here is a list of new features for Adobe Photoshop CS5 and Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended. Also see our CS5 tutorial, New To Photoshop CS5 - Merge To HDR Pro.
Photoshop CS5 New Features - Photoshop CS5 Extended New Features List
The Photoshop CS5 Free Trial Download is not available yet. Below are the new features from Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop CS5 Extended.
Intelligent selection technology
Photoshop CS5 takes the time and frustration out of making precise image selections and masks, providing you a faster way to extract subjects from their backgrounds and create realistic composites.
New intelligent selection technology offers better edge detection and faster, more accurate masking results of complex subjects, like hair. Automatic color decontamination helps you eliminate background color around the edges of a selection, resulting in more seamless compositions when placing extracted subjects on new backgrounds.
Experienced Photoshop users know that the best selections are created by constantly adapting the selection technique for differences in the subject’s edges—one method for hair and another for the edge of a building. With Photoshop CS5, you can produce highly accurate masks and selections faster and more simply than before with a set of new adaptive selection-edge modification controls.
Smart Radius automatically matches the best selection approach with the subject’s changing edge characteristics, and the extra view modes assist you in previewing the quality of your selections. The Refine Radius and Erase Refinements tools customize your masks and selections as you make them. These tools, in combination with the color decontamination settings, help eliminate any residual background color from around the edges of your selections.
The ability to create accurate selections is made easier with the Edge Detection controls in the updated Refine Edge dialog box.
Edge Detection uses adaptive
selection technology to create
selections of different edge types - such as along a simple solid line like
a man’s jacket, or a more complex
selection, such as his hair.
The intelligent selection technologies in Photoshop CS5 enable quicker and more accurate creation of the sophisticated
masks used in many design and photo compositions. In this example, a single mask encompassing both the soft-edged hair
and hard-edged coat is used to cleanly extract the model from the distracting background. The final result is then layered against a new background in the magazine layout.
Content-Aware Fill
One of the most exciting new features in Photoshop CS5 is the remarkable ability to remove an image element and magically replace it with details that match the lighting, tone, and noise of the surrounding area so that it looks like the content never existed. Now, you can make substantial changes to photo composition quickly and easily, as even large complex subjects can be seamlessly erased.
The Content-Aware feature can also be
selected as an option when using the
Spot Healing brush.
You can use Content-Aware Fill with
the Spot Healing Brush or as an option
of the Fill feature to replace content in an active selection. Selecting the
Content-Aware setting with the Spot
Healing brush changes the way the tool
fills in the areas you paint.
This
retouching approach is designed to
account more fully for the structure
and detail of the image elements that
surround the painted area, providing a
near-invisible result when removing
unwanted objects. Alternatively, you
can select the object to be removed,
and then replace the area with
synthesized details from the area
surrounding the selection, simply by
using the Content-Aware option in the
Fill dialog box.
Use Content-Aware Fill in conjunction with the Fill command by making a
selection first, and then choosing the
Content-Aware option from the Use
menu in the Fill dialog box.
Magically remove unwanted detail in your photographs with Content-Aware Fill. In this example, the boat has been removed from the photo by making a rough selection around the subject (left) and then filling the area with the Content Aware option selected in the Fill dialog box. The result is a seamless removal of the subject. See the full list of new features in Photoshop CS5...

Free Workspace Import/Export Script For Photoshop
From John Nack's Blog: "I sometimes hear requests for an easier way to migrate one's settings from one version of Photoshop to another, or to share settings among users. To that end, Photoshop engineer Tai Luxon has whipped up a little script you may find handy:
I wrote a script to enable simple importing and exporting of Photoshop workspaces. This is a side project with limited testing, so the usual disclaimers apply. It should work in both CS4 and CS5 (although it is a little more robust in CS5), so you can use it to migrate workspaces from CS4 to CS5 in addition to using it to enable easier sharing of CS5 workspaces between machines/people. Please let me know of any snags that you run into and if this is useful.
To run the script, choose "File->Scripts->Browse..." from with Photoshop, then browse to the script's location on disk. Download the free workspace import/export script here.

Did You Know You Could Create An Entire Website In Photoshop?
SiteGrinder Photoshop Plugin - Create Websites Instantly
There often seems to be a strict division of labor within the world of web design and development. Creative professionals tend to stick to the Photoshop domain, while those well-versed in scripting are left to the task of implementing their work. Indeed, the two realms are quite different from each other, to which any of us even vaguely familiar with either can easily attest.
Essentially, Photoshop is a no-holds-barred design studio, offering the artist a seemingly endless array of creative options. On the other hand, HTML, CSS, Java and the like follow strict rules of engagement, requiring the developer to take any number of esoteric concerns into consideration in order to ensure that designs are properly displayed on the web.
Turn Photoshop Into A Complete Web Design Tool
SiteGrinder seeks to bridge this gap between design and development. Basically, SiteGrinder turns Photoshop into an easy-to-use and fully functional web design tool. With SiteGrinder, designers will now have the freedom to totally let their creativity loose and then, without skipping a beat, transfer their designs to the web. Bringing esthetic concerns together with more practical considerations, SiteGrinder is an amazingly powerful tool that would make a fantastic addition to any web designer's bag of tricks. Mac OS X and Windows versions of the SiteGrinder unlockable demo are available now via download.
