Rating: - Ok, But Just That
It is an Upgrade, and to keep current would be the only reason to purchase it. Now that CS4 is out, why bother?
Rating: - Painting with Light
What a joy to use and what an expansive artistic reach this permits. I may never learn all the tricks and details, but I am sure going to try.
Rating: - A Photographers New Testament
Elements is awesome, but Photoshop is worth the extra dollars if you're a serious photog. The lens correction filter is amazing--and I'm still learning the newer additions. Very powerful, too--it will automate adjustments on so many images at one time without a slowdown. Gotta have it--
Rating: - Had to upgrade, but happy that I did
As an amateur photographer I don't have to keep up with the latest cutting edge version of Photoshop. The main reason I had to upgrade to CS3 was to be able to review and edit Canon Raw images from a Canon 1D Mk III DSLR. This is my only big gripe with Adobe is that the Raw file format does not appear to have changed, but because the camera model number in the metadata was different Photoshop/Bridge CS2 refused to show thumbnails or open the Mk III's .CR2 files.
So, I had to upgrade ... Read More
Rating: - CS3 Upgrade Review (Windows Vista)
A good upgrade if it weren't for the unforgettable "printer driver" bug under Vista.
Unless you want to suffer from horribly slow performance, you will need to install a "default printer" driver (there are links to more info on this in the Adobe support forums).
Why Adobe has not made a patch available for this is hard to understand.
Until they do, I cannot give more than three stars to this, otherwise fine, upgrade.
