I’ve been using Adobe Web Design for years and absolutely love it. Unfortunately upgrading to the latest version is always painful because of the cost.  So as a general rule I upgrade other version. I’m currently using CS4 so in keeping with my own discipline, I should be waiting until version CS6 to upgrade. Well aarrgh…reviews out on CS5 have me wavering.Gavin Hoey did a YouTube preview video of a talk he gave at Photoshop World 2011 detailing his top 5 features of Photoshop CS and they are rather cool.
