1. The new user interface Anytime
Adobe (or anybody for that matter) messes with the interface for a
product, it sends chills down the spine of many users. However, in CS3
the changes can be as minor or major as you want because this is
probably the most customizable interface for Photoshop yet. The
first thing you’ll probably notice is the single-column toolbar. It
freaked me out a little the first time I saw it, but once I learned
that you can return to the familiar two-column toolbar with just one
click (right above the toolbar on the far left), then I felt right at
home. Once my fears were gone, I started using the single-column
toolbar and now I feel right at home with it. Best of all, it takes up
less space on screen (which means more room for my images). The
other big interface change is the palette scheme, which (once again) is
designed to put your images center stage by better managing your
palettes (and the loads of space they used to occupy). Again, you can
go back to the old method of “floating palettes everywhere”, but if you
take a few days to get used to these new “get out of the way fast”
palettes, I doubt you’ll want to go back. My favorite change in this
area is the new “Maximize Screen Mode” view, which adjusts your window
size automatically as you add and collapse palettes. 2. Huge improvements to Camera Raw Camera
Raw has really matured. The new version built into CS3 brings a wealth
of new features, and (get this) the ability to use the Camera Raw
dialog to edit both JPEG and TIFF images, as well as raw images. This
changes everything!!!! Among the main improvements is a Fill
Light slider (kind of like the Shadow slider from Photoshop’s
Shadow/Highlight command, but without the “milky” side effect that
comes from using that control with its default settings). There’s also
a brilliant slider named Recovery, which lets you pull back some of the
highlights (to avoid clipping the highlights) without having to lower
the Exposure, which affects more than just those blown-out highlights.
This just rocks. Also new is the Vibrance slider, which does a much
better job of increasing the saturation of any under-saturated areas in
your photo without overly-affecting colors that are already
well-saturated. This will probably put the regular Saturation slider
out of business because it’s just that much better. Besides these
improvements, there are also a lot of handy interface tweaks, including
color-coded bars to help you know which way to move the sliders to
achieve the color or brightness you’re looking for. They’ve
also added a wonderfully designed, intuitive Parametric Curve
adjustment that makes it easy to adjust your image, and will even help
users who don’t understand Photoshop’s regular Curves function get a
better grasp of how to unlock its power. This definitely shares “Star
of the show” status with the Recovery slider and Fill Light sliders. Split
Toning, the popular feature from Adobe Lightroom, has made its way over
to Camera Raw in CS3. Honestly, I like the easy implementation of it
here better than in Lightroom. Couple that with the new ability to save
custom presets of your favorite Camera Raw settings and you’ve got one
kick-butt new version of Camera Raw that makes previous versions
obsolete! 3. The Quick Select tool OK,
this tool is probably the best selection tool since Extract because
it’s incredibly easy to use, and best of all, it really works. However,
as cool as this tool is, in my opinion, the bigger feature is the
Refine Edges floating palette, which gives you unprecedented control
over selections; not just with this tool, but with ALL of Photoshop
CS3’s selection tools. You will be amazed at how much easier selections
(especially tricky selections) have gotten with these two new
“must-have” tools. 4. Mo Better Curves Adobe
has stayed away from the Curves dialog for a year, and with good
reason—it’s just about perfect. The key words there are “just about”
because they’ve added some options and made the tool more flexible
without changing (i.e. messing up) the basic operation of this “pro’s
color tool of choice”. They’ve done this through an Options area that
lets you choose which options you want to display, including the
long-awaited Clipping Warnings and in-dialog Histogram. So, you’ve got
a better Curves dialog with more visual feedback, without messing
anything up. Well done, Adobe! 5. Printing Done Right Adobe
made a number of modifications to the Print dialog, and they’re all in
the right direction, including a usable preview and easier
configuration, without digging through a bunch of different dialogs
like you had to back in CS2. 6. Black-and-White Conversion Control Not
only did Adobe add a better tool for converting from color to black
& white, not only did they give you built-in presets, not only did
they give you built-in tinting and the ability to leave the dialog box
and click-and-drag within an area of your photo that corresponds with
the color sliders in the Black-and-White control, bless Adobe’s little
pixel-lovin’ heart; they made it an Adjustment Layer. Life just got
better. 7. Auto Align and Auto Blend Think
of the magic that Photomerge uses to put a panorama together: aligning
elements within your sections of photos, then blending the colors
seamlessly. Now imagine you’re not stitching together a pano, but you
have those same controls (and then some). That’s Auto Align (which
automatically aligns to related photos), and Auto Blend (which blends
color seamlessly). These are some of those tools that look like real
magic. Pretty darn brilliant. 8. New and Improved Bridge I
would have thought that Adobe Camera Raw would win my award for
most-improved player, but once I saw the new Bridge, I knew we had a
winner. This is a HUGE step forward for the Bridge, adding features
such as a built-in Loupe tool for magnifying specific areas without
zooming in on the entire image. It’s very well implemented. Also, the
ability to compare photos side-by-side is just huge. There are tweaks
and improvements all over, including easier access to information, much
faster drawing thumbnails thanks to new smart-thinking view options,
and improved Slideshow capabilities. I’m just scratching the surface,
but I can safely say that if this CS3 version had been Bridge 1.0, it
sure would have made a lot of converts. 9. Smart Filter Think
Smart Objects, but perhaps a little bit smarter. Finally, here’s a
non-destructive way to apply multiple filters to an image and still go
back and change your mind later (much later if you like). Implementing
these Smart Filters like Layer Styles was a stroke of interface design
genius. It just makes so much sense. Throw in the mask that comes with
every Smart Filter and you’ve got a big winner on your hands. A big pat
on the back to the engineer(s) who came up with this puppy! 10. Improved Cloning and Healing The
new Clone Source palette makes the process much more visible (you can
finally see a live preview of your clone source before you actually
start cloning). You’ve now got more control over your cloning and
healing than every before. Try it once, you’ll be hooked. Besides
those “Top 10” features, there’s loads of improvements and enhancements
throughout; everything from an improved Brightness/Contrast control, to
a well-designed Import Photos dialog for the Bridge, to little buttons
that do wonderful things to make your life easier (they just weren’t
there in CS2). Best of all, you’ll get to try all these out yourself and see what a big difference CS3 makes to your daily workflow. My
hat’s off to Adobe for once again adding features we needed, features
we didn’t realize we needed, and for making Photoshop even more fun
without making it feel even 1% more bloated. And these days, that is
really saying something. So, what are you waiting for?
Download the free Public Beta Preview and start taking it through its
paces yourself. See if you don’t quickly agree that this is, without a
doubt, the best Photoshop ever!!!! NOTE: If
