Right when my Adobe Photoshop CS2 fix was coming to a close, right along pops up Photoshop CS3. In case you have not heard, Photoshop is now almost of legal age....17 years old! This means that thousands of kids have caught onto the idea that Adobe Photoshop can be an incredibly fun, useful tool (As well as the entire Adobe CS3 line).

I jumped into the Adobe CS2 products pretty hard. In particular, Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator. I used these applications in a number of ways both at home and work. While I'm not an incredibly great artist, I have developed the skills needed to be efficient and professional in my endeavors. Along the way, I've been developing little tricks that have made me the life of any party (yeah..right).


This is the best Photoshop CS3 review I've seen floating around.

Every line of Photoshop seems to get a little easier for users while adding great features. This time around is no different.

Mac users will love CS3 because it will allow Intel Macs to run Photoshop at full speed. I don't own a Mac but have heard about CS2 being a pain in the ass sometimes. There are other improvements to the interface, selecting and filtering, smart objects and overall intigration between outside resources and the CS3 programs.

Still Not Sure

It's good to be skeptical. Nobody likes the jerk who gets the nicest car but does not know how to drive it. Wasted money is a waste, period. If you are thinking of joining the Adobe game for the first time there are some things to know.

Every new line of Adobe products brings cool new features to play with. The number of people and businesses that have bought Photoshop over the years is astounding. In reality, much of the time and money spent toward buying and learning the software is wasted.

Someone buys Adobe and a book, then read 15 pages and they don't read it again. They then periodically mess around with a couple simple tools and give up or never advance. Photoshop can perform some awesome tasks for users fairly easily. It's a matter of knowing how to use the tools. What buttons to press, basically and general direction. I spent $400 dollars on CS2 Training videos and improved my work speed literally overnight. Simple keyboard shortcuts alone make it worth it. Also, just the whole process of creating a product out of one of the unique tools and programs. I suggest them to anyone who is serious about using the program in an effective manner.

They are much easier to follow and understand than any of the books (for me anyways). After awhile they can move too slow and you'll not pay attention, then miss something and have to rewind. But overall they are a must. You won't believe what you've been missing.

Is Photoshop CS3 worth it? If you like CS2 and don't want to bother spending money than no, it's not. If you are like me than of course it's worth it. It's the newest, latest and greatest version, dummy.

Photoshop has become like a new video game for me.
