Photoshop CS5 does not appear to be getting the +.5 upgrade treatment however, Adobe has announced a new SDK (software development kit) to be used in conjunction with Photoshop CS5 for developing media for tablet devices, which can actually control what’s going on in Photoshop. Additional key upgrades can be found in the Production Premium video programs. The CS5.5 mid-cycle upgrade is largely focused on development for the iPad and other tablet devices. Watch the video below from Johnny L to get a run down:

Instead, Adobe will now be release a major version update every 24 months and a mid-cycle upgrade every 12 months. With the introduction of CS5.5, Adobe is shifting from an 18-24 month product cycle upgrade. Individual programs in the Master Collection, e.g., Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, and Dreamweaver, can be introduced to young students with great success.Adobe has updated its Creative Suite line of products from CS5 to CS5.5. Applications in the Master Collection are best reserved for high-school-aged students, teachers, staff, and administrators, and not elementary- school-aged students. Even if students work through Adobe’s free year-long project-based curricula in visual design, digital design, and digital video, becoming comfortable with the tools will take time. Students who become familiar with the CS5’s powerful features and resources as part of their regular course work have a better understanding of the technology tools used by realworld professionals.Īpplications in Adobe’s CS5 Master Collection are powerful and complex. Each application is an industry standard. SUITABILITY FOR USE IN A SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT: Adobe’s CS5 Master Collection is more than a casual collection of digital tools for graphic design, video editing, and Web development. CS Live consists of five services, including Adobe CS Review for online collaborative review, Adobe BrowserLab for preview, and test Web content in Internet browsers or in operating systems you may not have. CREATIVE USE OF TECHNOLOGY: A link to Adobe CS Live in the menu bar of several CS5 applications connects you to Adobe online services, where you can share with others the video sequences, page layouts, artboards, and image-comps content you create.
