good
Goog update, greater stabillity. But ID CS3 lack of export to CS2 format is somehow a problem. (i know there is interchange format... but prefer the confort) |  | Reviewed on 2008-01-18
New and Improved for Leopard
CS3 is necessary step when upgrading to Leopard. This software has enough info for a person that is acquainted with the four software programs included with this package. One thing that should be emphasized with this software, if you are the more serious who wants to do more than the basic adjustments with photos, layouts, then this is what you will need. Do not purchase this software if you going to do just basic adjusts and the like. There is plenty of great software out there to do that. Adobe provides plenty of onsite info to help and with a little bit of searching on the net you should be able to do what you need to do with CS3. One last thing to remember, only with lots of investment of time will you gain the experience that is needed to get those extra special results you are looking for. | | Reviewed on 2008-01-01
Great new interface
I'm thrilled on this New Year's morning to share my experiences running CS3 on an Intel Mac. After trying to run CS2 since switching to an Intel, it was a welcome relief to load this upgrade. What I've found in this version thus far has exceeded my expectations overall.
I watched the videos and read the mixed reviews from veteran users, but the bottom line was that I needed CS3 for my new Intel Mac. As a graphic artist and editor, my work speed slowed to an irritable limp for over a month due to the CS2/Intel incompatibility. CS3, while offering significant changes in content and interface design, allowed me to hit the ground running pretty seamlessly, allowing me the flexibility of learning on the fly. I think Adobe anticipated this issue by providing the option of working in the more familiar CS2 environment while reaping the benefits of CS3, for which I--and my clients--are very grateful.
There are minor glitches still being ironed out, as there always will be when application meets computer system, but Adobe appears to be on top of them.
I'm running CS3 on Leopard 10.5.1 on an Intel Mac.
