Funny... I just upgraded on Monday to CS5 and I am enjoying it quite a bit. I used that content aware to take out a couple of short poles in an image and it worked fabulously! I am inneed of figuring out Puppet Warp, though now.

Hey Everyone,

So, I have taken a bit of a back door solution to getting CS5. I really did not want a student version for a variety of reasons - mostly in that I am not a student anymore. :P So, I purchased an older OEM CS2 as an upgrade from CS, and the CS5 upgrade. It is definitely a bit bass-ackward, but I hope it will work. :P The total cost came out to about $300 bucks, which I think is worth it.

Yeah, that is how you have to play the game. Now if I can find the deal on Light Room.............

I've been lucky to know people with laptops that don't have desktops, since you can do 1 install on each I get the desktop license. Although I've gotten a bit behind and am still on CS3.
With the recent upgrades to Aperture I am using photoshop less and less but it is still needed.
