I love these new features in CS5

With Puppet warp tool and Content Aware Fill CS5 is such a great product.

We run several reviews a month on CS5 and we would say it is by far an improvement over all other Photoshop versions

THink about using this tool with TItles…

This works on Smart Objects?! That’s awesome! This feature is going to be hugely useful to me for a lot of the product design that I do. I’m always having to warp artwork from Illustrator onto 3 dimensional objects such as basketballs, and the Warp tool is currently just not enough to accurately warp anything onto a shape more complicated than a sphere. Liquify can do the job, but being able to swap out the artwork and keep the warping is gonna make my job so much easier!

That’s great!
One thing I wish for with these things is the ability to rotate the guides in PS, and then duplicate those rotated guides, and or flip them.

In 2025 we will be able to leave our brains in a jar and go to work knowing our brains are safe at home and that we dont need to use them anymore.
That same year adobe will release CS18, a new tool will allow the artist to go have a lie down whilst photoshop does all the work for you. Brillaint stuff! cant wait;)

I want to marry it and have its babies. I’d love it even more when the distortcame with a “strength” setting. Thanks for mentioning that it works on a smart object, too! :)

Looks as useful as the Hat Tool we have in CS4. Thank you very much! :) [Hah--you know you love "Hat"!! ;-P --J.]

Yes, I checked the date as I started watching the video. But when I realized that Russell wasn’t playing the fool (as he often does) but providing useful commentary, I watched with interest. I still think this tool will be more a fun novelty until I see some useable high end results produced with it.

Well judging by this title of an Adobe blog, I'm guessing we can rest easy on the two "big" features (so far) being for CS5: http://blogs.adobe.com/phosphors/2010/04/photoshop_cs5_muscle_builder_m.html (Is this the first word from someone at Adobe that these are, in fact, CS5-bound? I think…)

Am I the only one who spent the entire video thinking that this was a joke and that it was posted a day late? The distort mode with the “muscles” on the puppet seemed entirely fake. That being said, the tool does seem useful, and if it was a joke, Adobe seemed to have spent as much time making Russell’s mock-up as they would have on the actual tool itself.

I could have used this tool today :-)
If the Puppet warp tool and Content Aware Fill work as well on large images at 100% as they do on these low-res YouTube videos, they will save me a lot of time.
Hopefully there are some improvements on less glamorous things such as greater scripting control (e.g. brush settings or reading and writing notes)
There are a few other minor things, such as the inaccuracy of brush cursors and the way 0° and 360° canvas rotation look different.

Can you please post the original and manipulated image? I want to look closely. Often some distortion can add realism. But, I will say he does a good job showing (or attempting to show) the practical value.

It would be nice to have those puppet rotation controls in After Effects CS5. [FYI, the algorithm is newer than the one that shipped in AE CS3. It offer some additional capabilities, but unfortunately it's not possible to take one's puppet edits from PS over to AE intact (i.e. with editable pins in place). You can, however, apply puppeting to a Smart Object in order to keep it editable within PS. --J.]
