• Not all that great
  A lot of fanfare for an upgrade which is by no means earth shattering, particularly for amateurs. Yes there is an improved interface and non destructive adjustments, but the printing, especially the picture package doesn't work on the Mac, even after you have downloaded from the main disc: English>Goodies>Automate>Picture package, as well as all the necessary Presets. Why are these programs not integrated in the initial installation?
  Certainly not worth the price and a real headache for nothing. more info

• no manual
  The upgrade box costs more with every upgrade but there is less in it. Amazon frequently shows what's in the box, not here, however, probably because the only thing in the box is the CD/DVD. No more printed manual. Adobe is staking back on what it delivers. Some new features, but hardly worth the price.

• Warning: extreme performance issues for some
  Warning before upgrading from an earlier version of Photoshop: Download the trial version first. Many many people, including me, are experiencing major performance problems related to the new use of the graphics card GPU. Huge lag when drawing or moving windows around, brush cursors disappearing, buggy color management and many other issues which make this release unusable. Disabling GPU acceleration, or trying some of the other workarounds suggested by Adobe, improve performance but not completely.more info

• Great new features, but requires some heavier hardware...
  ** UPDATE VIDEO CARD DRIVER:
  Right off the bat I had a problem with my brush cursor only showing 1/4, 1/2, and even sometimes only a 1/5 of the cursor when I zoomed in. Found out from Adobe that I needed to install the latest video card driver. I had done this only a few weeks before the program was installed, but went to the EVGA site and re-downloaded the driver and re-installed it. It fixed the cursor problem upon restart. No mater what, go to your video card's website and download the latest... more info
