Ok, We are currently running CS4. Being that this release came out when the economy was beginning to bottom out, it seems not as many folks made the jump. Most of our customers(high end packaging designers)are still using CS3.
I think that from a production standpoint, CS4 made a few improvements, the biggest being the separations preview in Illustrator IMO.
I've read about the changes in CS5 and don't really see the urgency. Since we do packaging, Illustrator and Photoshop are our main Adobe applications. Very rarely do we need InDesign...maybe once or twice a year.
Anyway, in order for us to upgrade to CS5, I would need to upgrade 4 of our 6 Mac workstations to Intel based units. Being part of a large corporation, this becomes a big project and it's possible that the expense may have to be absorbed on a plant level. I can't really justify it at the moment and am simply wondering if I'm missing something fantastic and tremendously useful?
Thanks for any input.
