 Review of CS3 software May 17, 2007

This product is great. Easy to use for the beginner and full featured enough for the professional. Comparing Bridge CS3 to MS Explorer is like comparing a bicycle to a BMW, there is no comparison. Other software companies should use this software as an example of how to create great software.
WONDERFUL!! It would be perfect if it weren't so hard! July 16, 2007

I absolutely LOVE this program. Only thing...I want to do soo many things, but it is so hard! I literally cannot find tutorials to do certain things ANYWHERE! Best bet would to ask how on Yahoo!Answers. I got some good answers there. OTher than that, I love it!
Love it--and no bugs! January 8, 2008

Based on these reviews, it would seem that there were bugs in the versions sold in June and earlier. I just bought my upgrade (in December) and it works fine, as other later reviewers commented. (I don't think Adobe has to put fake reviews on Amazon to sell their product, as one reviewer suggested. They offer automatic free updates...use the service, eh?)
I was using CS and heard that the "File Browser" had been replaced by a stand-alone application. I loved the file browser and used it heavily to organize and flag my photos so this is why I waited so long to upgrade. It turns out that once you learn how to configure Bridge, the SA app, it is far superior to File Browser. As for the rest of the program, I can't say enough about Adobe Camera Raw 4, another application that comes with CS3--it is fantastic, AND it works on jpg files as well as RAW! Sure, maybe not with as much finesse as it can apply to a RAW file, but it still works! And the main Photoshop program is of course superior to all others on the market.
I heartily agree with the reviewer below who suggested buying an early legal version of Photoshop and then buying the upgrade to CS3. This will definitely save you some bucks! And then carefully read the reviews of instruction books to find one (or more...) that will teach you what you need to know for your particular style of photography.
Yes, the upgrade from CS to CS3 is definitely worthwhile, and from what I gather from reading various books, even CS2 to CS3 is something to seriously consider.
 advanced but somewhat squirrely June 7, 2007

This is the premier photo editing program, but the advancement comes at the price of some instability, pariculary in the companion Bridge
Adobe Photoshop CS3...Wow! November 2, 2007

Well, what would you expect from the industry standard in graphic manipulation? It is everything that you've come to expect and has become everything that you've ever wanted Photoshop to be! (Despite the price tag)
It's perfect for professional graphic designers, professional Illustrators, professional Artists, professional Photographers, and Professional web Designers. The keyword is "professional", but don't let the word professional stop you. Afterall, it was probably Adobe Photoshop that gave those professionals the edge so they could become "Professionals"! So even if, (especially if,) you're a novice of any of those professions, let Adobe Photoshop give you the edge so that you can take your rightful place amongst the other pros in your field. Unleash your creative side!
Want the best? Buy the best. It's that simple. Aside from a nice sized price tag and a few hiccups in Vista, Photoshop CS3 is the choice of Professionals.
