I just finally upgraded from CS2 to CS5 at work and was completely LOST. Great tools, but wow. I couldn't edit anything. Does anyone use?

i found CS4 was taking up too much of my processor tbh, so i haven't bothered with CS5. i've heard it isn't compatible with previous file versions too, they've changed the architecture or something.

i've actually gone back to using photoshop 7, apart from the distinct lack of save and export options i find it a joy to use.

CS4 for me. Use CS5 in uni though and it's very similar.

I've used CS4 to photoshop friend's heads onto people getting bummed and things like that. The magic wand tool is great for it. CS5 would be beyond my needs.

It does seem to eat the processor. But the context fill and the puppet warp are spectacular. The fill can replace a background by pulling from what's around it, and the puppet warp allows you to distort photos on a wireframe mesh. I am sure it's on the demos. I just need to shoulder in.
