There are a few changes between Cs4 and Cs5. I will not attempt to name them all, for some are very minute and technical, such as changes in user interface.

First, there are two editions of the Adobe 5 creative suite, Cs5 Design Premium, and Cs5 Design Standard. The main difference between the Premium Design and the Standard Design is that in the Premium Adobe Photoshop Cs5 Extended is included within the package, as well as Adobe Flash Professional Cs5, Adobe Flash Catalyst Cs5, Adobe Dreamweaver Cs5, and the Adobe Fireworks Cs5.

Premium packages are targeted to professionals. So, Premium versions are also offered and are the Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web Premium, Adobe Creative Suite 5 Production Premium, and the Adobe Creative Suite 5 Master Collection, which contain all Premium packages.

Here is a list of few.
Adobe Photoshop CS5

Photoshop Cs5 has significantly upgraded Adobe Camera Raw and Bridge. For efficiency sake, Photoshop now provides access to Bridge as a Panel in the new version. This makes it much easier for creators to steer back and forth between the two programs that are both vital to a photographic production.

There have been significant additions to Adobe Photoshop tools. The additions include new powerful cloning tools as well as others, such as Content Aware Fill, Content Aware Heal, new brush and painting options, as well as Puppet Wrap.

Also, JDI (Just Do It) was another focus of Adobe Photoshop creators in Cs5. “Just Do It” refers to the Adobe designers’ attitude towards fixing the little technical nuances in Photoshop that now make working in Photoshop a whole a lot smoother and efficient.

Adobe Flash CS5

Probably the most anticipated addition to Adobe Flash Cs5 is the 3D physics application. The general census, however, is, even more than Cs4, one no longer needs to take a class in Flash to know what is going on; Flash Cs5 has easier code that makes working within Flash a lot more intuitive for the laymen.

Also, a few powerful tools make an upgrade to Adobe Flash Cs5 worthwhile. There are new Spring functions for the Bone tool for creating inverse kinematic results, powerful new text engine for typography accuracy, and new Deco brushes. Flash Professional Cs5 is also much faster due to the new Action Script code.

Adobe Dreamweaver CS5

Adobe Dreamweaver Cs5 software is easier to insert live data into web pages using AJAX. It is also allows you to develop with PHP-based content systems such as Joomla!, Drupal, and WordPress, and with Adobe BrowserLab you can test your web pages across browsers. There are also more powerful CSS inspection tools.

Note : I have only commented on three of the many programs Adobe offers. There are many more updates that have not been covered here.Click here for Adobe Special Offers on CS5 products.
