For those who are eagerly waiting the next release of Photoshop, it is coming soon.  April 12 to be exact.

There will be a public online release at Adobe <- yes that is a referral link ... you'll have to do a search for it yourself if you don't want to be referred

I am looking forward to seeing what is new.

nice.  They don't specifically say that it will be included in CS5 though so I'm not holding my breath - but here's hoping.

Geez Louise, I'm always a version or 2 behind. I remember how excited I was when version 2 was announced because it had something new in it called "paths." Then version 3 came out with layers - I was in heaven!

I am still with the dinausor Photoshop 6.0 released in 2000. I have tried several time CS2, CS3 and CS4. I didn't found any reason of upgrading. The only difference is, if I photoshop for one hour with 6.0, I may photoshop for 55 minutes with CS4.

I think most of the upgrades are enough minor to be absurd compared to the price.

For now CS2 is OK.

+1 - unless you're Yuri Arcurs and some others, it makes no business sense to buy a software package of that price (almost double in the EU) when photos are valued ) 0.25$. CS2 will do.

What Sean said   I wanted to be able to open the .cr2 files my 5d2 produces.

I bought CS4 so I could see my RAW files from the 5d2.  It's a good scam for them.

Ditto, I wonder if there's a new 5d3 on the horizon, it's spooky how Adobe mange to release a new version of PS just before a new camera that everybody wants comes out.

Maybe I am alone, but I hate when a new version of Photoshop comes out because they immediately stop supporting the last edition. 

I own CS4 but found the new interface a bit clunky and for some reason it runs slower than prior versons on my computer, so I am still using CS3. 

It bugs me that I can't see my 5DII files in CS3, but I use Lightroom for raw processing anyway, and export them as TIFs, which can be seen in any version of photoshop.
