I may just do that. My wife is in her final year of school and I will most likely take advantage of her student discount one last time before she graduates.

Hmm I was using premier cs2 and photoshop cs3 before I convinced work to buy me the cs4 master collection. The rest of the office is still running cs3 design standard. I think I might try to convince them to get a master collection site license. And to think learning flash is still on my to do list....

Nicci posted this link in the Off Topic forum, but I think it fit's here. Content aware fill looks like a pretty cool new tool.

I was debating about CS5. It does much, much more than I can ever use. It also takes up lots of room which, for me, is wasted. But I just found out that the visual arts program at the college has a site license that allows me to pick it up for less than $100 for my own computer! So maybe...

I'm kind of in the same boat Michael. If I had to pay full price for it, I would either be using version 5.0 that I got from a coworker 10 years ago or the software that came with my camera.

Gosh darn they just update it way too frequently. Lets be honest - CS3 was severely unneccesary. It should have gone from CS2 to CS4 without anything in between.

I watched a demo of CS5's 'content aware' feature, which seems interesting. Still, I'll probably wait for CS6

Actually one of the big issues for us is that a lot of our printers are using cs3 and newer versions aren't really backwards compatible. Adobe does have a cs3 interchange format but it is clunky. fortunately with photoshop adobe has a maximise compitibility option, so whilst it may not get you every feature the guts of it is there.
