For those that don’t know the Adobe Creative Suite is a collection of graphic design, video editing, and web development applications made by Adobe Systems. The newest and most exciting suite to date is due out around April 2010 and as designers and developers we can’t wait for its release. CS4 seemed to lack any real punch from the previous CS3 suite, but looking at this video there is much to look forward too.

The new collection consists of the standard Adobe applications. Photoshop CS5, Acrobat, InDesign CS5, Illustrator CS5, Flash CS5 all supporting the various technologies we’ve grown to know and love in PostScript, PDF and Flash.

The new Photoshop CS5 looks very promising though, with a range of new features which Adobe have implemented into the forthcoming Photoshop.

This video gives us a sneak peak into a selection of new Photohop CS5 features and tools being developed by the ‘Photoshop Labs’, including Painter-style brushes, a new warp tool and more.

The new brush tools aim to match those that are already being used within Corel’s Painter application. The video shows ‘wet’ paints being smudged, smeared and blended. It also shows an on-screen representation of the 3D properties of a brush, showing how it has been twisted to lay down different stroke types.

A similar system After Effects’ Puppet tool has been added to Photoshop CS5, enabling artists to warp image by placing pins into areas to lock them down, then moving the areas around them. An overlaid grid shows how the image is warped.
