Already `acquired` it as the price range is a bit too much for a High School Student. Gonna mess around now.

Creative Suite 3 Design Premium: $349 new, $199 upgrade. (includes photoshop, dreamweaver, flash).

University department purchasing ftfw. Too bad I am not a webdev or graphic design person and thus don't really care :p.

I hear they did very deep fundamental process changes that made the development process much, much superior to the approach they took before. I'm looking forward to hearing how the end result turned out. Also interested in how they're doing on an AS3 IDE and the macromedia/adobe integration.

One of our mods at Twisted Renders already gave it a review.


The latest and greatest version of Photoshop finally rolled on to shelves just a few days ago. I've been playing around with some of the new features in it and have this to say about them.

-First and foremost the application loads slightly faster than CS2 ever did, not by much but a few seconds saved on every start up is welcomed by me.
-The interface has been tweaked slightly, windows can now be collapsed into tiny icons, they can be grouped and collapsed/expanded together, docked on the sides. Multiple preset workspaces (which windows are open and where, and even shortcuts) can now be saved/loaded. This I find very nice, you can easily go from having the windows you need open for drawing/painting, to the workspace you need for creating a site layout or the workspace best for rendering. Pic 3 shows the default video workspace out.
-The curves function has been improved a little bit.
-Smart filters have been implemented. They are exactly the same idea as adjustment layers except with filters instead of adjustments (shown being used in pic 1).
-Few new tools to play around with, the quick selection tool as shown below is a very quick and easy tool to use to roughly select something from an image, took all of 2 seconds to get that rough selection in the 1st pic. The refine edge tool as shown basically improves your selection, it can smooth edges and make renders nice and slick looking (if used correctly), it works better on real images, not the greatest thing on Capcom art (note I'm not actually using the refine selection tool in that shot as everything but smoothing is to 0).
-There's a new Photomerge thing where you can take a few photo's of a location and combine them together to form 1 large panoramic shot. Apparently it has 'advanced alignment blending'.
-New better tool for changing colour photos to black and white (desaturation loses contrast and other details).
-Better cloning/healing options.
-You can do vanishing points in 3d now.
-And a few other things that I have yet to really play around with.
All in all CS3 is a dandy update to an already amazing image editing suite. I would recommend getting it if you can. There is also a CS3 extended version, it has some more 3d options, motion graphics and video editing capabilities, but really unless you need that stuff normal CS3 will do you fine.

In short, definitely worth getting. I just upgraded, and I'm seconding what he wrote.
EDIT: Note, this is a review for the basic version - not the extended one.

I will get it when the entire CS3 suite is available "online." I'm fine with CS2 for the time being.

[master_me]

I just found out that although the extended version is "online," there's no way of "obtaining" it "online."

I'm already using it, I just have to "finish obtaining" it.

[Lucifus]

o.0. I just "obtained" the final extended version online with the crack and it runs just fine. No prompt for authorization.

I can post links if you want but I'm not sure if its allowed. Though considering we link illegal anime almost everyday.........

Torrentspy.com Search Adobe Photoshop CS3. Get the Final extended version and the crack below it.

Comments on CS3, I've got to say I'm really liking what I've seen so far.

[master_me]

Who made the crack? The one I'm using sucks.

[Lucifus]

"mkdev team" I didn't even need to enter a serial.

If links to stuff as below aren't allowed, may a mod crucify me but leave me intact.

Download, extract and install CS3. Dont run it. Download and extract the crack and replace Photoshop.exe with Photoshop2.exe from the crack. Just rename it.

[master_me]

Oh. I've already got it installed, and I'm too lazy to reinstall it. I was hoping for a "keygen" :(
Thanks anyway, though.

EDIT: 9down has a working "keygen" for the standard Photoshop and a "crack" for extended.

I heard CS3 doesn't support gifs anymore.

edit: Anyone know where i can find the web premium package for download?

[Board of Command]

I installed CS3 tonight. The interface changes didn't really affect me since I put those toolbars/windows on my secondary monitor anyway. Aside from that I haven't really tried out the new features yet.

[Assertn]

I dled the CS3 web premium crack by MAGNiTUDE, except whenever I try to run any of the apps, it says the install is corrupt and has to be repaired/reinstalled. I've also tried every combination of installation I can think of.....running pre-cracked, running post-cracked, changing virtual drive software, re-unzipping the files...etc....

It seems like the problem is that when I go through the installation process, some of the shared elements don't install properly, so nothing works.

Help? :(

[master_me]

9down.com is way better; use their cracks from now on.
