A couple weeks ago a student pulled me over and asked me if the rumors he heard from a bookstore clerk was true\u2026that he’d heard that Adobe was coming out with a new version of Creative Suite really soon. I told him “Pffffft, whoever told you that was an idiot”. \u00a0No, I didn’t say it quite that harshly, but I did tell him it would be unusual that Adobe would do that given that they typically have a 24 month cycle between versions\u2026and even then, a lot of people bitch about it being too soon between upgrades only to find marginal features that comes along with it.<\/p>\n

Lo and behold, only a week later, Adobe must have heard my comment and decided to screw with me, because out comes an announcement that they were coming out with an upgrade to CS5.5<\/a>. About a $400 upgrade. Summammabeetch. Total foot in mouth moment.<\/p>\n

Is it worth getting? From what I understand there’s very little or no upgrades to Photoshop. But if you’re a developer interested in mobile devices, or e-publishing to devices like the iPad, then there’s some added tools in InDesign, Flash and Dreamweaver for you. Otherwise, do what I do and wait until version CS6. Let’s just hope that doesn’t come out until they have some really juicy features in it first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
