Auto-Save & Versions with Photoshop CS5?

Nope. Save your money. Wait until Adobe updates its software.

I doubt Adobe would update it. Imagine working on a 2GB PSD file for 4 hours, you would accumulate a terabyte of incremental backups. That would suck.

I also highly doubt Adobe will add the functionality. They are making Photoshop for Mac and Photoshop for Windows strictly identical. Since Windows doesn't have versions, the Mac Photoshop won't have it either, I think.

i don't think it works like that (but, i don't know.. haven't used it yet)

from what i understand, versioning is only saving the differences between different versions..

ie- have a 50mb file and add a line to it.. autosave/versions isn't going to re-save all 50mb.. just the line.

could be wrong..

For whatever it's worth, Apple claims that "Lion saves changes in the working document instead of creating additional copies, making the best use of available disk space." We'll see how it'll work in practice, or people can have a look at the APIs once they're out in the open.
 
I've used Developer Preview 3, and this auto save feature only works with Native Mac applications, so I don't think we'll see support for it from Adobe, at least I don't think so..

No, you don't. The versions saved are incremental, only saves the differences, not the whole file.
