I'm trying out the demo at the moment. I'm liking the new changes made to the interface. It may be just me, but it seems as if things are running faster on my computer than with CS2.

Hi Glenn,
I attended Photoshop World earlier this month and one of features Adobe mentioned is speed enhancements to Photoshop and other products.

I want to try it soon. I'm using CS2 on my G5 and it works great.. really fast. But on my MacBook I had problems. The MacBook is Intel Based and "Rosetta" was making the program slow. I just put 2gig of RAM in the macBook and now CS2 is great! So i can just picture how fast CS3 will be (cuz it's Universal)!

Lynda.Com has come out with a couple Photoshop CS3 tutorials. I had a chance to spend a couple hours Sunday watching them before Wanda dragged me outside to help plant some bushes.
It looks like Adobe cleaned up the issue I was having with "Constrast".
One of the things I like about P-CS3 is that the interface has been cleaned up a great deal and is more intuitive (to me anyway).

I've heard someone else make the same comments as you, Glenn- much quicker booting up, and nicer interface.

Illustrator CS3 also has a better interface and is faster. On the PC the new document setup is slow (maybe the virus scanning software) but after that all seems faster. Also have PS CS3 but I have not played with it much. Both PC and Mac.

I liked the idea of having lighting & contrast tweaks become like overlay effects that show up in the layers pallette throughtout the design process ready to be turned off again. Especially when a print may not appear the same as my monitor, it's convenient that the tweaked file can be re-tweaked without losing the original data.

This feature's not new to CS3. It's available in Photoshop CS2 as well. They're called "Adjustment Layers" and can be accessed through the "Layer" pull down menu - "New Adjustment Layer"

This is what I was referring to about the "brightness/constrast" issue.
quote:Figure 3.10 In CS3, Brightness/Contrast does a much better job of brightening an image without compromising its blacks.
Similarly, the Contrast slider in the CS2 Brightness/Contrast could wantonly wreck both your black and white points (Figure 3.11). In CS3, Adobe fixed this problem, so the same contrast adjustment yields a healthier result (Figure 3.12).
