CS6: When is it coming out?

[James Burke]

I'm looking at getting Dreamweaver but I don't want to jump just yet. Does anybody have and idea when CS 6 will come out?

they are waiting for you to buy CS5.5. The next day 6 will be released.

Boy that is the truth. I remember I had just made the plunge to the Master Suite of CS5 and a month or two later CS5.5 was out.

There haven't been game changing improvements in Dreamweaver, or most anything else, other than Photoshop, from what I've seen on the past 2 updates.

I don't think Dreamweaver would change enough to matter. You can always do the subscription thing until it comes out if you're really worried about it.

Ai has some changes. Now you may or may not use those changes, but there has been a few. I like the perspective tool in CS5 and that wasn't in CS4. But then again, you may or may not use that.

But was the perspective tool worth the upgrade price?
I'm incensed that Indesign 5.5 is not compatable with 5 (at least call it 6 if the files don't cross)

Adobe used to be a funky rebel. Now they are just a corporate parasite, adding nothing new of value yet bleeding the industry for corporate profit.

Oh oh, I better take that back or the Adobe secret police will come in the night to give me a good kerning.

It depends on your work flow. Or what value you have for that perspective tool, be it for professional or personal use.

I will have to say it again, upgrade price for adobe is cheap compared to other software I own.

I know it has some new features. I personally couldn't make it without he shapebuilder tool, but overall, I think you'd agree that the new exciting features are few and far between when compared to PS.

Yea, I had always thought that Ai was treated like the red-headed step child compared to Ps. Sad thing is I really don't use Ps to anywhere near it's full potential. I could actually get by with Elements or even Picture It(if they still make that) for what little I do.

When they demo PS stuff, it's cutting edge "WOW" stuff. All that would make AI users go WOW would be things like corner rounding, dimensions, etc. Things that people have written 3rd party plug-ins to do. You shouldn't have to spent $600 on AI and then spent $1200 on plug-in's to make it work on the same level CorelDraw does on many of those features.

Seriously, some of the easy stuff would make a LOT of people really happy. Yet we don't see anything in those areas at all.

PS will take a blurry photo and make it not blurry, it'll smartly cut out entire objects and replace them. It does some amazing things. I don't see that same level of innovation in AI releases.
