Adobe has recently released Photoshop CS3 beta for Mac & Windows. The beta doesn’t have many feature improvement of CS2, but the notable interface changes are worthwhile checking, they have made life easy
The UI of Photoshop has new icons, & they are no longer using the CS2 “Feather” theme, which is good touch as all Adobe applications are now incorporating a new docked UI, & no longer palates, which was bad anyway
On first look, u will find that Photoshop CS3 is 95% like CS2, adobe bridge is 100% changed, seems like they took lessons from ACDSee. The thumbnails are real time, they update on the fly. The UI of Photoshop & Bridge is really fast now, quite good update.
If you have a file open in Photoshop then u can no longer click on the file’s maximize button to maximize it, u have to click on the “Change screen mode” button found at the lowest part of left side toolbar. I M myself using the 2nd docked interface a lot
New features in this version are a few only right now, such as quick select tool, which is like enhanced magic wand, now u click on many sections & depending on pixel similarity it selects those pixels. Like in one case, on my bike’s pic, it selected black color of fuel tank, but not the highlight glaze created by the sunlight.
Camera RAW is updated to 4.0, well…I don’t use it & have no idea, don’t even have a RAW file based camera here, just a K750i
Still adobe doesn’t have an inbuilt noise reduction tool as effective as Noise Ninza, they should give one, and it’s going to be a boon for those who take Pics from digital cams & mobile cams
Seems like they want to give that functionality to light room, which is like Photoshop for Digi cams
More than the words, u should look at the screenshots. As u can see, on top there are no changes other then the UI, but inside there are a few changes
Photoshop CS2 like Workspace
