Photoshop Creative Suite 5 roared out of Adobe's coding lab with a slew of feature changes that spell out actual improvements (unlike the last release's mostly visual overhaul) in this decades-old premium powerhouse of an image processor.

Features that automatically correct your lens and improve the way the editor processes high dynamic range (HDR) are two significant additions.

Get a taste in our hands-on video.

In other news, digital music distributor Thumbplay released a new version of its Windows app, Thumbplay Music, which focuses on letting you create and stream playlists on demand.
