On April 12th, Adobe has officially launched Creative Suite 5 and is termed to be a leading breakthrough release tool for web design and development. It has a brand new component called the Adobe Flash Catalyst that gives you the utility to design content without the necessity of writing code and thus, enhancing the collaborative process between the web designer and the developer. Along with Adobe Flash Builder 4, it brings a host of creative tools to capture, analyze and store all the information that is generated by various websites and other associated sources. This is in fact a boon for the designers and developers.
Adobe CS was first released in September 2003 and since then, professionals and novices could never really get enough of it. The latest version, Adobe CS5 is highly impressive and the reviews of the same have started to trickle in from the day it was launched. Here are some of the best features that this software is offering for the design professionals:
Well this is in fact a Slam Dunk! This is the best that one can find in any designing software. With the help of CS5, one is able to remove a person or object from an image and then automatically fill in the space with the background color. Thus, you would no more have to follow the long process and get the same thing done with the click of your mouse. But there are limitations of this too and CS5 fails to get the same background filling job for a complex or cluttered background. It is better to opt for removing the components individually in case you have a cluttered or complex background.
The other great feature is the Puppet Warp tool. You can use this to set articulation points and rotate the image in a natural manner to bring in changes in the position.
Whether you are newbie or an expert in web design, you can now jump-start your standards-based website design with updated and simplified CSS starter layouts in Dreamweaver CS5. Simply pick the layouts that are available in Welcome Screen and you are ready to go.
Adobe BrowserLab is integrated into Dreamweaver CS5 to allow you to view/test your web pages on different browsers.
Adobe After Effects comes packed with Native 64-bit OS support which helps to make optimum use of your RAM. The new Roto Brush tool delivers rotoscoping results in a fraction of the time.

What a great resource!
Im still learning the cs4, still thanks for this awsome post
hey! This is all too fast! How can one keep up with all the new softwares?
Do you think that the benefits are great enough to warrant the price tag? When I upgraded from CS3 to CS4 I wished I had spent the money on something else…
The puppet warp tool is a minor peice of genius. I sort of think providing templates in DW though was a inevitable and b self-defeating – for anyone who doesnt want to learn htweir way around DW properly they can go get a free CSS template and learn a smidgen of html I guess.
