 Very impressive! July 12, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I upgraded to this from version 7 of Photoshop and am very impressed with the improvements - especially in the Bridge application that came with the package. I especially like the ability to open even jpg files in the "raw" mode in order to do lens aberration corrections. The exposure controls it gives in the raw format are great! I The demonstration videos on a separate dvd are very helpful in giving an overview of key features of the software.

Editing Photo Images is Best with Photoshop CS3 June 20, 2007

Working within Adobe Photoshop CS3
The first thing to do is create links for Adobe Photoshop CS3 and Bridge
CS3 applications. I place both of them on my computer desktop for easy
access.
The Bridge CS3 application is the key for opening, sorting and keeping
my camera images. Most of my Photoshop CS work is done in the Browser. I
single-click the photos that I need for my Photoshop CS project. Now I
have a group of highlighted photos that can be used in the Browser's
Automated menu.
The inner core of the Photoshop CS Browser's Automated menu contains
Batch, PDF Presentation, Contact Sheet II and Online Services. Also,
Automated menu contains Photomerge, Picture Package and Web Photo
Gallery.
The Photoshop CS3 Browser has Sort capabilities that contain the
Filename, Flag, Rank, Width and Height. Also, the CS3 Browser has Sort
capabilities that contain File Size, Resolution, File Type and Color
Profile.
The Photoshop Browser's Sort contains Date Created, Date Modified,
Copyright and Custom. You can sort them in ascending or descending
order.
Photomerge and PDF Presentations in the 'Inner Core' of Photoshop CS3
Photomerge is improved in CS3. The new Photomerge Layouts has Auto, Perspective,
Cylindrical, Reposition Only and Interactive Layout.
Now you can make a collage of photos and move them in any order. Also, I
can take several sections photos of a large bridge without using a
tripod. I then take the section photos and join them together with
Photoshop CS3 Photomerge. I still have to edit the new Photomerge photo
for length, size and contrast.
In PDF Presentation, I can turn my photos into Acrobat PDFs and stitch
them together. The fun is turning my new creation into a slideshow with
various transitions. The PDF Presentation is cross platform that can be
used on a Mac and Windows computers.
Working with the 'Outer Core' of Adobe Photoshop CS3
Keyboard Commands
The one-key letter shortcuts that I use quite often: M for
Marquee, V for Moving objects, T for Text, I for Eyedropper and C for
Crop. There is a multitude of Toolbox one-key letter shortcuts that you
can use or change.
Toolbox uses the Shift bar to get to related tools on the same pop-out
menu. For example, to cycle through the Lasso, Polygonal Lasso, and
Magnetic Lasso tools, hold down Shift bar and keep pressing "L" key.
Change Keyboard Commands in Photoshop CS3
This means that missing Photoshop CS Menu keyboard commands can now be
added. For example, I am constantly making changes to my images by
changing the photos' contrast and brightness.
Now without using the computer mouse, I use the Command, Control, and C
keys in unison. Like a piano chord, I can now change the contrast and
brightness in my digital photographs.
I use Command, Control, and letter keys for adding keyboard commands.
This works well within the menus and plugin filters that I use in
Photoshop CS3.
Pro Reaction
The new Photoshop CS3 offers flexibility and nondestructive editing.
Photoshop has a Welcome screen and improved Help that ease the learning
curve for new users. The Help menu is changeable. I find Photoshop CS
Help menu an excellent way to learn the various functions of Photoshop's
program. Photoshop CS3 works within Mac OS X 10.4 and with native Intel
Macs.
Con Reaction
The Bridge does not work in older Photoshop programs. Opening images
from the Bridge to Photoshop ignores my Photoshop preference for file
compatibility for prefer Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG files.
Final Words
Remember Photoshop remains the industry standard for professional photo
editing, graphic design, and digital imaging. Digital photographers will
benefit from Adobe Photoshop with its strong digital-camera raw
work flow.
 be careful with upgrades June 8, 2007
37 out of 45 found this review helpful
I am a long-time photoshop user and fan on both Mac and PC platforms. Recently I bought this upgrade for my Mac (from CS-2)and it rejected my serial numbers: it seems I had the CS-2 suite, and could not upgrade the photoshop segment alone. The reason I had the suite (which I did not want) is that Adobe sent it to me (without my realizing it) when I did a cross-platform upgrade from CS-2 on my PC. Now if I want CS-3 I have to buy it as a stand-alone. Also: be careful with other Adobe products, e.g. Lightroom conflicts with Bridge (at least in CS-2).
Must Have June 8, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This product is a must have for any serious photographer. The new 'Quick Select' tool is worth the cost of the upgrade. Everything else is just added bonus. If you love photography you must have this upgrade.
