Adobe CS5 is coming

#21

Since CS3 AE is packed with several rotoscoping tools that has significantly made rotoscoping easier. You can use RotoBeizer to simplify repetitve tasks through the reduction of control points. AE also has the ability to import photoshop and illustrator paths as masks. You can also turn channels, including alpha channels into vector-based masks wherein you can quickly create animated mask. The smart interpolation roto feature lets you replicate natural motion by taking control of mask transitions. The only limitation of AE is its inability to view mattes directly unlike in Mocha and Silhouette which is why I am giving it an 8.

Care to elaborate :slight_smile:
So can you load dds files natively?

#23

Patience my dear, patience.

#24

“Patience Neo… The answers are coming”

Seriously, I would love to elaborate, as it’s quite exciting, more so than the prospect of CS5. But it’s not my place to do so beyond what little I’ve said.

/stomps feet impatiently…

Can we have a clue :wink: perhaps who the developer is?

#27

Can we have a clue perhaps who the developer is?

Does it matter? The 3D Coat devs will add whatever it is in… oh, an hour or so :slight_smile:

(yes, I’m kidding)

#28

Am I the only one who thinks this is the worst promo\logo image ever made for a product?

#29

nope. I’m right there with you. I thought i went to a badly done fan page when it first opened the link. I get they are showing off the 3D but sheesh …

#30

He just might… :slight_smile:

#31

It looks a bit like unsorted layers, quiet exciting!

:wink:

#32

I threw up in my mouth a little bit when I saw it.

#33

A friend showed me this youtube video on Photoshop’s content aware fill, and I was blown away.

As the comments point out, it’s not 100% perfect; but it’s pretty damn good for the amount of time put into it. If this is what’s coming in CS5, I’m looking forward to some fun texture work and post-production paintovers. :slight_smile:

#34

Thought I’d stumbled into ikea.com

#35

It’s still not as bad as the design in that Premiere video.

EDIT: Oh, post order issue. This was about the CS5 logo… thingy.

#36

Even Ikea has better taste than that.:slight_smile:

#37

Whit, you don’t like may new promo image? Aw jist hurry up or weel be late fer bowlin.

#38

What?! Is microsoft paint also going 3D?! :o

#39

Could be a placeholder graphic/teaser. No word on official branding yet, so let’s wait and watch.

Agreed. The controls were mediocre at best and the quality of 2D maps generated after painting in 3D was unfortunately un-usable in CS4. I’ll stick with something else. Regardless, I really hope this release is huge because honestly, I am starting to be able to envision what a much, much better 2D imaging application might just look like compared to just a few new tools crammed in. In particular, a node based back end (with something equivalent to Softimage’s user compounds) to replace the archaic top down layer system could be something quite amazing combined with the existing functionality and power of PS.
