Adobe CS5

Who is using the newest Adobe CS5 suite for photos and videos? What do you think of it? How does it compare to CS3? Is it worth the almost $800 upgrade price for Production Suite?

Worth every cent to upgrade. I did several months ago and have been using it daily - no crashes - fast and sweet with the new features. I also have the production suite. Since it does make use of the 64 bit world, you do need to make sure you have a descent 64 bit machine with Win 7 though. The more memory you throw at it, the fast it runs.

I have a good machine, only 4mb since it's now running win7 32 bit. So I'de have reload all my programs and format/re-install Win7 64. Just takes a lot of time but I figured it might be worth the time. I currently use CS3 Production suite. Thanks.

it will be well worth the effort - particularly when you get into AE still sequence processing etc. It really flies! Also, Win 64 is getting super stable at this point. I am even running apps that were pre-winxp without issue.
