I've just watched the Lynda.com PCS3 cd and holeee shit they have implemented some top stuff!!!!!
I can't wait to order the full CS3 suite in the spring.
Honestly, some of the stuff is just awesome, my favourites being the new photomerge, vanishing point, a good brightness/contrast that doesn't clip your highlights and shadows and best of all...
...smart filters!!
You can now apply filters to an image the same way you apply styles. Previously if you applied a filter it would be destructive to your image, now they are non destructive as you have the ability to have multiple filters and are able to switch them on and off, change opacity of the filter and also the blending mode!!
You also get smart filter masks too!
The amount of new stuff CS3 has opened up to me for graphics work is just inspiring
WOOHOO!
