Hope so....It seems that the twain plugin is part of the optional plugins to be released "real soon now"

Does anyone know how much RAM adobe photoshop CS5 will use when running on a MAC?
I just use CS5 in 32 bit and don't feel I am missing much (and plugins work).It seems pretty typical for plugins to lag behind a new release of the suite. For what it's worth, I was running both the CS5 Beta and CS4 concurrently in 64 bit mode. I would switch to CS4 when I wanted to run my plugins and then open the resulting .tif in CS5 to play with its new features. They seemed to play nice together and there's nothing to prevent you from loading the entire CS5 suite into your applications alongside previous versions. Not an ideal solution, but it might help until the upgrades come along.
In your case I would too. You have a more modern machine, larger files and more memory. I run many applications at the same time and don't want other applications to grab too much memory. For me it works.The hard fact for me is I only use one plug-in regularly --- DFine for noise reduction --- and even at that, I only use it on occasion. So for now, I simply launch CS4 when I have an image that needs it. I can wait until NIK get's their code up to speed or the rest. I like running CS5 in 64 bit.
If you are running noting else, then run the slider all the way to the top.I am running 8gb of ram on a MacBook Pro, how much should I allocate to Photoshop CS5 for maximum performance. I do not need to run other programs when I'm in Photoshop.
Thanks
That alone is worth the $200Here's an example of the power of the content-aware fill. The original shot, and the final, produced as a gift for the guys. Notice the cables that run through the guy's hat and arm. Eliminating them required two selections with the lasso tool. Select the area freehand, call up content aware fill and bingo. One selection and fill for each area and done. Could it have been done with the clone tool? Probably. But I'm not sure I would have even attempted it given how squeefy that tool can be. So to some extent, that upgrade alone was worth the price of the upgrade (for me).
