Need help motivation boss to upgarde CS3 to CS5. Not just comparison chart

[Morne]

Hi all

I need to motivate to the powers that be why we need to upgrade to CS5. 1st thing comes to mind the is the puppet warp tool and the "content awareness". Also the fact that it's 64bit so can use all the system memory is a bonus and I geuss helps with speed. Also it uses some of the GPU to help with speed improvements? Anything else worth writing home about?

Just tell him that CS3 is outdated/ u wont get support/patch/adobe hate people with cs3

But yea the CS5 is great for big files...and 16 bits editing and bla bla bla

Morne,

Honestly, CS5 is much slower than CS3 (at least on my system: 2xXeon, Quadr4600 video card).Concept behind OGL drivers is good (like smooth zooming) but it's sooo SLOOOOW. Moving, opening, repositioning windows around is pain as well.
Content awarness is more of a presentational gudget than really usefull tool (it is a CS4 feature)
For your bosses just print a list of improvements in CS4 and CS5 from Adobe's site and tell them that will save a lot of money...)
That always works he he...

they a bit more fussy than that. Spending money on upgrades COSTS money, doesn't save any
