Adobe Creative Suite CS5 will be released 30 days from April 12, 2010. The question hanging in the air, which always takes awhile to answer, is what exactly is the difference between CS4 and CS5? And is my upgrade to CS5 worth the money? A short answer to both is, yes, there are many beneficial additions to CS4 in CS5 that makes it definitely worth the upgrade.
Its release has long been awaited by designers yearning for Adobe to fulfill certain technical requests. The word is that CS5 has not only filled those requests but has gone much further to provide unexpected, new features and tools.
There are a few changes between CS4 and CS5 that I will outline below. However, there are many more changes that I will not attempt to name, for some are very minute and technical, such as changes in user interface.

Adobe Photoshop CS5 Additions
Visit My Lens for more information.
Adobe Photoshop CS5 has significantly upgraded Adobe Camera Raw and Bridge. For efficiency sake, Photoshop now provides access to Bridge as a panel. 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 Content Aware Fill, Content Aware Heal, new brush and painting options, and 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 make working in Photoshop smoother and more efficient.
Adobe Flash CS5 Additions

Probably the most anticipated addition to Adobe Flash CS5 is the 3D physics applications. 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 in the bone tool for creating inverse kinematic results. Powerful new text engine tools were added to aid accuracy in typography design. There are also new deco brushes. Flash Professional CS5 is also much faster due to the new action script code.
Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Additions

It is has a function that allows you to develop with PHP-based content systems such as Joomla!, Drupal, and Wordpress.
