Simon regards the new features in Adobe's latest Creative Suite, and tries to decide if it's worth the upgrade.

Hi Simon,

It has a lot of nice features but due to the cost, I don't think I'll be getting it anytime soon.

But does anyone know if/where its still possible to get a copy of Macromedia Studio MX (physical copy and not downloaded version)?

Apologies for my question being off-topic.

Cheers,
mauco

I'm pretty tempted by BrowserLab and Content-Aware Fill, but like Simon I only really use Photoshop in earnest out of all the CS5 apps.

Simon, can you "crossgrade" from the whole CS3 to just Photoshop CS5, for a cheaper upgrade price?

@mauco: I have an old copy of Flash MX kicking about somewhere, although it's registered and I'm not sure the registration is transferable. And of course that's only 1 app, not the whole studio.

Have you tried eBay?

@Matt: I also had one lying around somewhere which I wanted to give it to my nephew who's just starting out in design. I felt that version would be an ideal starting point, moreover I didn't want to go splurging on the more recent/expensive versions. Thanks for your suggestion.
