Illustrator, once i learnt how to use it :)
Caleb Jonasson
I’m going to have to agree with Mark on this one.
Photoshop is the favourite followed by premier pro.
Semia
I’d have to say I’m extremely excited about the content aware filling! Sounds like touching up those photos will made even easier. But my favorite part of the CS would have to be Illustrator ;)
Derek
I’m excited for the flash to html5 conversion :)
Becky
Super excited for the content-aware fill feature of CS5!
Donnie
I’m digging the puppet warp feature.
Jonathan

That’s an easy one, I tweeted about this recently:
Finally have reasons to be excited for CS5: Content-Aware Fill, Refine Edge, Colour Selection & saving 16-bit .jpg’s

I luv illustator. The content aware fill in photoshop looks awesome. Can’t wait until I can get my hands on cs5. :)
James W
The content-aware fill in CS5 Photoshop has to be my favourite new feature. I can’t count the number of times a photo has been just too short, even after the CS4 content-aware scaling.
Joe Nyaggah
Bummer! No love for the states?
Duncan
Content aware fill in Photoshop!
Darryl
Perspective Drawing for Illustrator CS5
Veronica
I’m not sure if this was announced at the event, but I just watched an overview of the RotoBrush tool in After Effects … so beautiful.
rad
hell yeah
Miguel
Photoshop’s content aware fill!
Nick Sil
I’m really diggin’ the potential for a much more lenient art engine. Photoshop has always been on the up-and-up as far as technology and services-provided are concerned; but arguably, the true art factor has been a bit of a miss. From what I see, Adobe seems to have hit the nail on my head. I am very excited about the potential to have more of a poetic licence — should I be allowed to be cliché!
Nick Sil
Please excuse me! Admittedly, I neglected to read the entirety of the requirements in which to be qualified to win these prizes. I am not a citizen of Canada, but of the U.S.A. Please accept my misunderstanding and apology regarding what I now see to have been rather poignant oversight on my account. Best of luck to those in the running!!
Kris
OMG, Photoshop’s content aware fill!!
Celine
The Mini Bridge !
A great workflow improvement ^__^
Rob H.
The content aware fill in photoshop looks awesome. I love Photoshop :) the one and only!
Celine
Well, I’m not Canadian but French… Didn’t notice the contest last rule, until I read the comment from Nick Sil :/
Good luck to all the Canadian participants !!
Lance
The Content aware filter is insane! :D gotta have that shirt :p
Peter

Not sure if this is in the event or not but I saw a demo video for Photoshop CS5 Content Awareness tool where it can erase entire trees or large objects from a photo and render graphic to fill in the space. It looks so seamless, its like black magic!!
David Tremblay
The Content Aware tool is simply awesome!
Jordan Walker
Two thumbs up for CS5
Justin
Cannot wait for CS5s new intuitive photo features like the noise reduction!
Michael Chiang

Andrew Dupe
I just finished watching the launch video, pretty cool stuff!
As far as what my favourite new feature is, I’m going to be unoriginal and say that Content Aware fill in Photoshop is the coolest new feature! Although I am looking forward to all of it, and the new Flash stuff.
Alexandru Pitea
Definitely the Puppet Wrap!
Sutherland Boswell
Content aware might just change my life… Okay, maybe it will just make it a little easier.
Steve
I would love a t-shirt – Adobe runs in my blood!
Steve
I would love a t-shirt – Adobe runs in my blood! My favorite new feature is Puppet Warp in PS.
kc
I really love the intelligent auto-fill in Photoshop CS5!
Quan Duong
Photoshop CS5 is rockkk :)
Content Aware Fill is the best of all :)
Rommel Miraflores
I love every new feature each new release of Photoshop dishes out, but this time around, I’d have to say that the puppet-warp feature will come in handy, and content-aware fill will be such a time-saver.
It’s a tie for me… now how about a shirt to go with it?
Simon Robert
My favorite new feature is Puppet Warp, just so nice … I imagine funny stuff I will do with it. I can wait to intall this new version of the CS. !
Rommel Miraflores
Woah. I have to change my answer. The new, improved, Refine Edge feature when selecting and masking. Awesome tool! Smart Radius Edge Detection and the Refine Edge brush is a winning combination!
Asrar
Content-aware filling.
Francois
Content-aware filling for sure !!
Philippe Gaboury
With content-aware fills, live preview, browser lab, refined edges and puppet warp there’s just too much to pick just one. But just one t-shirt will do fine.
Crystal Rose
Content aware fill, browser labs are my 2 favorite features in the new CS5.
Max Titov
The content aware is my definite favourite new feature.
Gus Calderon
intelligent auto-fill all the way!
Joel
Live View and Browser Lab in Dreamweaver are my favourite!
Browser compatibility always causes problems for web developers/designers, I’m glad that Adobe found a way of making this step a little easier! :D
milosz
photoshop seems to finally catch up with the advancements in ui design. my fav feature is the new rendering panel for 3d typography. Just what I dreamed of!
Gonna get production premium as soon as it comes out!
James Gardiner
Content aware fill FTW!
Bree Smith
There was a lot of great stuff from the launch video. As a web developer I was really excited about the integrated browser lab feature in Dreamweaver. I already use it, but now it’s handier!
I’m also looking forward to trying Photoshop’s new brushes. Corel Paint has had the upper hand with fine art brushes, but we’ll see if Photoshop will give it some competition!
JP
Hey I’m canadian, finally a contest for us :)
On topic, Photoshop definitely.
designfollow
good luck.
thank you very much.

SO EXCITED FOR CS5 to come out!….
Ed Sum
I’m loving the inclusion of Flash / Animations in InDesign CS5! I’ve been looking for a way to do interactive newsletters because my imagination is always one step ahead of what current software can do.
Dominic
my favorite Adobe CS5 feature would have to be non other than the variable width strokes adjustment for Illustrator. I think using the new width handles will definitely save me some time.
Tim
photoshop brushes definitely. I was forced to use coral draw. better tablet interfacing (not that it’s bad)
I’d love a t-shirt =)
tripleman
Puppet warp looks pretty cool.
Robert Williams
Catalyst looks like a great new product
and that browserlab for dreamweaver sounds great.
Go Canada
Michael Earl
My favourites are content aware in Photoshop, browserlab in Dreamweaver and Omniture. Oh…I am Canadian eh!
Daniel

vladimir

Adobe Fireworks – “Pixel-perfect precision” is my favorite new feature, should of been around ages ago, and im surprised there isnt more interest in it from the visitors of this site.
Its a web designers dream come true.
Sulcalibur
My favourite feature is that I will turn into a wee little young un Wolverine that’s super excited about Adobe Premier :P
Can’t wait.
Honestly though the CMS integration with Dreamweaver looks pretty sweet.
David D
I’m loving the content aware fill. I can’t tell you how many times that would come in handy. No more clone/healing spot areas!
I also like the CS review feature. That would be great in our workgroup!
theDarkIn1978
while content-aware fill truly blows my mind, since i do a lot of low-light long exposures my favourite CS5 featured introduced during the launch event is noise reduction in Photoshop CS5.
Anthony
I was amazed at the content aware fill! I am also super thrilled that everything is going to be 64-bit, it will make my life a lot easier :)
Justin Tim
Unfortunately, I missed the event but I did heard from a friend about the Content-Aware Fill in Photoshop. It’s truly amazing!
Sarita
Well I’m very excited about the Flash CS5 Packager for iPhone Apps. Guess this was a case of the mountain going to Muhammad because Muhammad was too lazy to go to the mountain. Well done adobe!
